Benefits of Overload for Fatigue Cracking at a Notch

Source

Tests are described which measure the effect of compression overload on fatigue crack initiation and growth from a 0.1-mm-radius notch in alloy steel KIc specimens.

Other tests are described which measure the effect of tension overload on fatigue crack initiation and growth from a 3.4-mm-root-radius notch in similar specimens.

The effect of overload on the number of cycles required for crack growth is described for both types of tests in relation to a residual stress model.
