The Behaviour of Short Fatigue Cracks

The Behaviour of Short Fatigue Cracks (EGF Publication No. 1) is a specialized collection of research papers focused on the critical and often anomalous growth patterns of small-scale fatigue cracks in engineering materials. This volume addresses a significant gap in traditional fracture mechanics: the tendency of "short" cracks—typically less than one millimeter in length—to propagate at r…
