摘要
The present contribution investigates the crack-size effects on Paris' law in accordance with dimensional analysis and intermediate asymptotics theory, which makes it possible to obtain a generalised equation able to provide an interpretation to the various empirical power-laws available in the Literature. Subsequently, within the framework of fractal geometry, scaling laws are determined for the coordinates of the limit-points of Paris' curve so that a theoretical explanation is provided to the so-called short cracks problem. Eventually, the proposed models are compared with experimental data available in the literature which seem to confirm the advantage of applying a fractal model to the fatigue problem.
