Fatigue crack behavior is studied through the two-level rotary bending test with the deep non-through radial holed notch specimens of low carbon steels(SM22C). The main factors investigated are the effects of the damage zone size around crack tip and phenomena of closing or opening of the crack tip. Obtained results are summarized as follows. Fatigue crack behavior in second level stressing slightly lower than fatigue limit is closely related to the size of damage zone produced by the first level stress higher than fatigue limit and to the phenomena of crack closing and opening for the second level stress. The non-propagating crack limit condition depends upon the crack length l$_{1}$ propagated under the first level stress and the magnitude of second level stress .sigma.$_{2}$ lower than the fatigue limit. The non-propagating crack limit condition is expressed by following eq. $\sigma_2^{6.1}{\times}l_{1}=7.35{\times}10^{6}[(kg_{f}mm^{6.1}(mm)]$

Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.

This study has been made to investigate Behavior of the fatigue crack propagation for the purpose of taking into consideration the fatigue behavior Which initiate and propagate in tip of defect of the defected specimens, Which Contain the micro-hole or micro-slit. Especially, the specimens have been conducted with high-freguency heat treatment of 850.deg. C, 1050.deg. C to consider strength elevation of defected specimens. The results of this study are as follow; (1) The case of the same in the length of crack, the fatigue crack propagation rate of the micro-slit is always faster than that of micre-hole. But, the first step of the fatigue crack propagation it is not always so. (2) Fatigue crack propagation rate of specimens with micro-slit or micro-hole which have been treated with high-frequency heat treatment satisfy the following formula between the fatigue crack propagation rate and nominal stress; dl/dN .var..sigma.$^{m}$ *l$^{n}$ .

It is required the superior materials for the parts of machines or structures, which could be endurable in severe load and environment. According to advancement of casting technology, nodular graphite cast iron is used as suitable for such condition. But nodular graphite cast iron is scattering of fatigue strength and low reliability. Therefore in this study, the effect of matrix structure and number of nodular graphite on the initiation of fatigue crack and fatigue strength. It was found that the material which has relatively high ferrite volume fraction was more easily cracked than other materials and fatigue limit was low. The material which has not found pinhole on the surface, the crack was initiated in graphite went through ferrite and propagated into through graphite, but separated graphite and ferrite grain boundary and combined with other cracks to fro large one.

This study investigates the behavior of fatigue crack propagating between holes or holes lilted with another materials. It is experimentally and analytically confirmed that the center crack stops when its tip reaches near the center line of the holes and a small crack is initiated from the boundaries of holes or the holes filled with another materials and it propagates to final fracture. The mechanical behaviors of center crack near the another materials are also investigated. The phenomenon that this crack propagates to fracture is investigated by compliance method.

The crack that occurs on the wheels of railroad cars can be categorized into a surface crack that starts from the surface or a subsurface crack that starts from the inside and can be detrimental to safe railroad operations. Therefore, estimating the growth life span of this type of crack is very important. In this research, the stress distributions, displacements, and the growth-life spans of both surface cracks and subsurface cracks have been studied. By using the finite element analysis, especially in the life span prediction process, the stress conditions and the stress intensity factors of the crack tip have been discovered. The Paris formula has been used to analyze the growth-life span prediction.

In terms of behavior of fatigue cracks propagated after build-up around the artificial drilled miro-hole, this study has been made of the build-up process of slips and micro cracks, behavior of micro-crack propagation and the definition of fatigue limit under the rotating bending stress with low carbon steel. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The fatigue limit is the repropagating critical stress for the nonpropagating cracks which have grown to some limit around the micro-hole in regard of the magnitude of micro-hole. (2) Behavior of the slips and micro-cracks initiation are occurring simultaneously in front and in rear of micro-hole tips in the view of the rotational direction, regardless of the magnitude of micro-hole. (3) Behavior of fatigue crack propagation is different from magnitude of micro-hole, its behavior is propagation of single crack about respectively large hole, but about respectively small hole, fatigue crack propagated joining phenomena of micro-cracks. (4) The behavior of fatigue fracture is affected by the factor of its defects in the view of magnitude of micro-hole when the diameter of the micro-holes are smaller than 50.mu.m, and this is also affected with the size effect of micro-hole diameter.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of loading variables on fatigue crack opening behavior, using structural steel SS41. To use various stress ratios, three kinds of the methods varying stress ratio were used; .DELTA.P const., P$_{max}$ const., and P$_{min}$ const.. To measure the opening load, the direct measuring method which measures the distance between two micro indentations 20 .mu.m behind crack tip and the elastic compliance method were used. As the results of present study, the following conclusions are obtained. First, using the direct measuring method, it was possible to measure the COD at any location behind crack tip. Second, as measuring point becomes farther from crack tip, opening load becomes smaller. Third, the acceleration of da/dN near notch is due to crack opening behavior. Finally, opening ratio is a function of not only R, but .DELTA.K.K.K.
