Abstract

In the high cycle fatigue (HCF), the dominant fraction of total fatigue life may be spent at crack lengths on the order of 20 to 500 μm. The detection of longer cracks near the end of component life is critical. This report discusses related work underway in the Structural Fatigue Task within a Department of Defense University Research Initiative (M-URI) on Integrated Diagnostics at Georgia Tech, monitored by the Office of Naval Research.
