The analysis of fatigue crack growth mechanism and oxidation and fatigue life at elevated temperatures [PDF]
Two quantitative models based on experimentally observed fatigue damage processes have been made: (1) a model of low cycle fatigue life based on fatigue crack growth under general-yielding cyclic loading; and (2) a model of accelerated fatigue crack ...

Mode I+II Fatigue Crack Growth Delay by Stop-Holes
The technique of retarding the growth of fatigue cracks by drilling holes on the crack tip is well known. Most of the research works on this subject are limited to fatigue cracks subjected to mode I loading conditions.
