Abstract Fatigue crack growth as consequence of service loads depends on many different contributing factors. This paper describes the fatigue crack growth behavior of metallic materials under cyclic loading towards standardizing the fatigue crack studies on metallic materials. For the simulation purpose, three points bend (TPB) with span to width ratio 8:1 and compact tension (CT) specimens geometry were used. There are many factors affecting the fatigue crack growth in structures, such as fatigue crack growth model, stress ratio, aspect ratio and type of geometry. The behavior of such cases is shown using different fatigue crack models (Paris, Forman and Austen).… More >
