摘要
The fatigue growth behaviour of randomly oriented surface defects has been for many years a problem which has been required to be solved in the assessment of structural safety. In the present paper an investigation is made which lays emphasis on the fatigue growth behaviour of inclined surface cracks under biaxial loading. Based on a series of finite element calculations a reasonable configuration of biaxial cruciform specimens is recommended and its stress intensity factor calibrated. The fatigue tests reveal the nature of non-equilibrated fatigue propagation of the inclined surface cracks and a two-steps model is thereby proposed for representing the fatigue crack growth rates. No evident difference is found when the fatigue growth data under biaxial loading is compared with those under uniaxial loading. In the light of these test results some related rules contained in the current codes of defect assessment are discussed. © 1990.
