TY - CHAP T2 - Fracture of Nano and Engineering Materials and Structures EP - 240 ID - eprints1942 N1 - Proceedings of the 16th European Conference of Fracture, Alexandroupolis, Greece, July 3?7, 2006 N2 - Fatigue crack growth data are usually presented in terms of the crack growth rate, da / dN, and the stress-intensity factor range, ?K. The typical fatigue crack propagation curve is shown in Fig.1, where Region I is referred to as the near-threshold region, Region II as the power-law region and Region III as the rapid crack propagation region where K max ? K IC and crack growth instability occurs. In Region II the Paris? equation (Paris and Erdogan [1]) provides a good approximation to the majority of experimental data: (1) dadN=C(?K)m where C and m are empirical constants usually referred to as Paris? law parameters.
