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(ΔK)m where C and m are empirical constants usually referred to as Paris’ law parameters. date: 2006 date_type: published publisher: Springer pagerange: 239-240 id_number: 10.1007/1-4020-4972-2_117 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4020-4971-2 book_title: Fracture of Nano and Engineering Materials and Structures official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-4972-2_117 citation: Carpinteri, Alberto and Paggi, Marco Correlation Between Paris’ Law Parameters Based on Self-Similarity and Criticality Condition.
