Abstract

We now turn to the derivation of lifetime, assuming region I behavior. We first determine lifetime in the residual-stress-free case. While almost all flaws have residual stress (see Chapter 6),we need to understand the basic formulation before undergoing the more torturous calculations demanded in the residual stress case.
