Abstract
  • Beginning with the basic equations from the theory of elasticity and employing a model of crack propagation based on the concept of a constant plastic energy absorption per unti of crack extension, the commonly accepted power law of fatigue crack propagation was derived. This derivation uses an extension of the Dugdale model for the calculation of plastic energy absorption into the zone of gross yielding preceding the crack tip. This Dugdale model together with a superposition technique are employed to compute the total plastic energy over a number of cyclic loadings. The power law relationship which results from this development is compared with experimental crack growth data to evaluate the material constant, the crack extension force.
