        abstract = {The question about the existence of a correlation between the parameters C and m of the Paris? law is
re-examined in this paper. According to dimensional analysis and incomplete self-similarity concepts
applied to the linear range of fatigue crack growth, a power-law asymptotic representation relating the
parameter C to m and to the governing variables of the fatigue phenomenon is derived. Then, from the
observation that the Griffith-Irwin instability must coincide with the Paris? instability at the onset of rapid
crack growth, the exponents entering this correlation are determined. A fair good agreement is found
between the proposed correlation and the experimental data concerning Aluminium, Titanium and steel
alloys},
