Fatigue crack growth rate studies on A516-60 pressure vessel steel indicate no effect of specimen thickness in stress-relieved specimens ranging in thickness from 0.25 to 2.0 in. (6.35 to 50.8 mm). A regression curve equation for all thicknesses relating cyclic crack growth rate (da/dN) to crack-tip stress-intensity factor range (ΔK) is obtained. The significance of these results is discussed in the light of current engineering practice and previous studies on size effects in fatigue crack propagation.

Some fatigue crack growth data have been obtained for age-hardened beryllium copper. The fatigue crack growth rate was found to be very dependent on the hardness and tensile mean stress. This dependence is believed to be associated with the intense residual stresses surrounding Preston-Guinier zones.
