Modelling the effects of texture on the statistics of stage I fatigue crack growth
A physically based model for the growth of short fatigue cracks through a local grain structure is presented. The growth rate is taken to be proportional to the cyclic plastic displacement at the crack tip, which is evaluated using an existing solution for the continuous distribution of dislocations...
