What is Fatigue Crack Propagation from Small Holes in Linear Arrays about?

The propagation of fatigue cracks emanating from linear arrays of circular holes has been analytically investigated. An approximate fracture mechanics analysis is developed for plates containing cracked holes in rows which are either normal to or parallel to a uniaxial tensile load and the crack growth law da/dn = A (AK) n is integrated over the AK field of each array from a crack nucleus size to the critical crack length. Propagation lifetimes thus obtained are found to decrease with decreasing hole spacing for collinear arrays normal to the loading axis but to increase with decreasing spacing for holes aligned parallel to the stress axis. In addition, the absolute hole size, applied stress range, and the materials crack growth law are shown to affect the lifetimes of the various arrays.
