Effect of Local Stress State on the Growth of Short Cracks
SourceThis paper examines the extent to which local state stress contributes to observed short crack growth rate behavior. Local crack-tip stress state effects are explored in terms of data developed at notch roots in notched plates of various thicknesses. Experimental data and fractography coupled with the results of stress intensity solutions show that a part of the so-called short crack effect may be rationalized by three-dimensional considerations.
