Effect of variable amplitude loading on fatigue crack growth rate

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) is a major cause of failure in many engineering components and structures that are subjected to dynamic loading conditions. Several models have been proposed for estimating crack growth rate da/dN under various conditions. The majority of work reported has focused on const...
