Abstract
Predictions of static and cyclic fatigue crack growth of indentation-initiated strength-limiting flaws in a Mg-PSZ material are compared with observations. The extent of environmental effects on cyclic loading lifetime prediction is determined by integrating the cyclic stress cycle following determination of crack growth parameters from static fatigue data. The effect of crack tip shielding as a result of the crack resistance curve is also included. The true cyclic fatigue effect is then determined. Crack growth dependence on the maximum stress intensity, Kmax, and ΔK and possible mechanistic explanations of cyclic fatigue effect are also considered.
