This paper gives an overview over the micromechanical modeling approaches of short
fatigue cracks. Until now many approaches have been presented in the literature, which …

A brief outline of a recently developed model which describes the microstructurally short and
the physically short crack periods of fatigue crack growth is presented. A single equation to …

Fatigue strength, crack initiation and small crack growth behaviour in two kinds of squeeze‐
cast aluminium alloys, AC8A‐T6 and AC4C‐T6 were investigated using smooth specimens …

Capturing the behavior of short cracks under fatigue conditions has become a challenge for
researchers. The early stage of crack propagation is influenced by microstructural features …

Fatigue lives of as-polished and shot peened specimens were predicted using the original
Navarro-Rios model (monotonic damage model) and a more recent version of the same …

Microstructural fracture mechanics concepts are used to develop a model to incorporate shot‐
peening effects into crack propagation laws and fatigue life predictions. Shot peening …

The aim of the present study is to investigate the influence of the variation of metal grain
sizes on fatigue lives. The grain structure is simulated from a Poisson–Voronoi model and …

A theoretical model which describes the microstructural aspects of short fatigue cracks is
further developed to quantify the strength of microstructural barriers. The effectiveness of a …

With the wide application of titanium alloy in various engineering fields, the service life of Ti
alloy product has drawn much more attention. It's been proven that the laser shock peening …

Microstructurally sensitive fatigue short crack growth can occur in many engineering
components devoid of large defects. Continuum mechanics principles, including linear …
