A crack growth equation is used for calculating the size of a fatigue crack growing from cyclic loads. The growth of a fatigue crack can result in catastrophic failure, particularly in the case of aircraft. When many growing fatigue cracks interact with one another it is known as widespread fatigue damage. A crack growth equation can be used to ...
Paris' law (also known as the Paris–Erdogan equation) is a crack growth equation that gives the rate of growth of a fatigue crack. The stress intensity factor K {\displaystyle K} characterises the load around a crack tip and the rate of crack growth is experimentally shown to be a function of the range of stress intensity Δ K {\displaystyle ...
English: Geometrical representation of crack growth with respect to the alternate stress intensity, along with the representation of Paris' curve in the linear region of Regime B. Other information More information on this crack propagation curve can be found in Ritchie, R. O. "Near-threshold fatigue-crack propagation in steels."
Concrete fracture analysis is part of fracture mechanics that studies crack propagation and related failure modes in concrete. [17] As it is widely used in construction, fracture analysis and modes of reinforcement are an important part of the study of concrete, and different concretes are characterized in part by their fracture properties.

In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows a small amount with each loading cycle, typically producing striations on some parts of the fracture surface.
In fracture mechanics, a crack growth resistance curve shows the energy required for crack extension as a function of crack length in a given material.For materials that can be modeled with linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), crack extension occurs when the applied energy release rate exceeds the material's resistance to crack extension .
In materials science, fracture toughness is the critical stress intensity factor of a sharp crack where propagation of the crack suddenly becomes rapid and unlimited. A component's thickness affects the constraint conditions at the tip of a crack with thin components having plane stress conditions and thick components having plane strain ...
