1.1 This test method2 covers the determination of fatigue crack growth rates from near-threshold (see region I in Fig. 1) to Kmax controlled instability (see region III in Fig. 1.) Results are expressed in terms of the crack-tip stress-intensity factor range (ΔK), defined by the theory of linear elasticity. 1.9 Special requirements for the various specimen configurations appear in the following order:
The Compact Specimen
Annex A1
The Middle Tension Specimen
Annex A2
The Eccentrically-Loaded Single Edge Crack Tension Specimen
Annex A3
