摘要: The classical fatigue limit of ferrous metals is a consequence testing materials at constant range cyclic stress and determining the below which failures do not occur. This material equated to condition for cracks can propagate beyond microstructural barriers. paper discusses causes, leading elimination this limit, including introduction transitory cyclic-dependent mechanisms time-dependent processes that will permit previously non-propagating crack grow across different threshold states expressed in terms linear-elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), elastic-plastic (EPFM) (MFM). These include loading environmental conditions, long-life engineering plant (e.g. 30 years lifetime) lead apparently premature failures. Of greater concern creation new crack-initiation zone, i.e. transfer from surface-generated an internal-generated eventually dominates failure event. impact these conditions on necessitates changes Design Codes Practice, such are discussed relation extremely long-lifetime regime (10 7
