In the present study, a series of fatigue crack growth tests were carried out in order to examine the effects of stress ratio R upon crack growth rates, together with the crack closure behaviors. Fatigue tests were conducted with center-notched specimens of two kinds of pressure vessel steels (500 MPa class and 800 MPa class) under cyclic axial loading in various stress ratios R ranging from −5 to +0.8. Crack opening stress levels were determined by the unloading elastic compliance method. An expression of fatigue crack growth rates under a wide range of stress ratios was proposed, taking into account the relationship between stress ratio R and crack opening stress ratio U. The crack growth behaviors near the threshold conditions were also discussed.

A new model for predicting the small-crack growth rates is proposed under the constant amplitude loading. With the use of two important parameters, the transition crack length a0 and the barrier characteristic parameter d*, the new model can reflect the abnormal feature of small-crack growth. The effect of crack closure is considered in the model as well. The model is shown to provide a better correlation to the experimental results for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy under various stress levels at a stress ratio of R = 0.4.
