The behaviors of short fatigue crack remain to be one of the most challenging topics in
fracture mechanics. It is widely accepted that the process of short fatigue crack can be …

The fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behavior of L-PBF (laser-powder bed fusion) and DED
(direct energy deposition) Ti–6Al–4V (Ti64) specimens with different crack directions (CDs) …

The growth behavior of small cracks, as one of the key stages in the fatigue cracking
process, significantly affects the fatigue fracture process of materials and structures. Due to …

The interest on fatigue assessment of steel and other alloys at high temperature has
increased continuously in the last years. However, high cycle fatigue of notched components …

The present work aims to study short fatigue crack initiation and propagation induced by
geometric microdefects. An empirical approach is used to evaluate the microstructural …

The aim of this paper is to establish a multiscale crack growth model that considers the
segmented stages of microstructurally short crack (MSC), physically short crack (PSC) as …

Good fatigue design and prognostics are essential for safe and sustainable aircraft. A
common feature in all metallic fatigue failures is the presence of structural cracks that …

This study quantitatively investigates the influence of loading parameters and directions on
the behavior of small fatigue cracks (SFC) in commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti). It is …

Fracture mechanics at micro‐and nano‐scale has become a very attractive topic in the last
years. However, the results are still few, mostly because of the lack of effective analytical …

In this paper, the growth of long fatigue cracks up to failure in aircraft components is studied.
A deterministic model is presented, able to simulate the growth of fatigue through cracks …
