N2 - 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 ID - eprints1948 EP - 224 PB - Gruppo Italiano Frattura UR - http://eprints.imtlucca.it/1948/ A1 - Carpinteri, Alberto A1 - Paggi, Marco Y1 - 2007/// T2 - IGF 19: Atti del XIX convegno nazionale del Gruppo Italiano Frattura ER -
