Title: Variation of the distribution of crack lengths during corrosion fatigue

Journal Article · · Scr. Metall.; (United States)

The detailed initiation and growth behaviour of distributed cracks on a specimen surface was investigated during corrosion fatigue. It can be clarified that the changes of the distribution of crack lengths with stress cycling reflect the behaviour of initiation and growth of distributed cracks. The distribution of crack lengths for certain stress cycles could be explained by a statistical calculation which takes into account both the variation of number of cracks during stress cycling and the scatter of crack growth rate.
