Title: Environmental interactions: corrosion-fatigue and creep-fatigue
Abstract: The effects of environments on the nucleation and growth of fatigue cracks were highlighted in previous chapters. These discussions touched upon the influence of oxygen-containing media on the kinematic irreversibility of cyclic slip (Chapter 4), crack initiation at corrosion pits (Chapter 4), the formation of brittle fatigue striations (Chapter 10), the role of fracture surface oxidation in promoting crack closure in constant amplitude and variable amplitude fatigue (Chapter 14), and the apparently anomalous growth of ‘chemically short’ fatigue cracks (Chapter 15). It is clear from these earlier descriptions that the usually deleterious (and occasionally beneficial) effects of environment must constitute an integral part of any complete mechanistic theory or design methodology for fatigue fracture.
