Abstract
A new technique is described for determining the critical stress intensity factor required for fatigue crack propagation to occur. It enables data to be obtained more rapidly and with fewer testpieces than existing techniques. Initial results obtained for En 3A mild steel are in excellent agreement with published data.Keywords
