Crack Growth

Crack Growth is a fracture mechanics phenomenon characterized by the progressive extension of a crack in a material or structure under cyclic or static loading, distinguished from other damage mechanisms by its dependence on stress intensity factors and fatigue or environmental degradation processes.
