Distinct Microstructural Characteristic Lengths Defining Notch Fatigue Crack Initiation and Propagation, and Defect Tolerance in Advanced Steels

This work revisits and integrates results on the fatigue behavior of advanced bainitic steels (in particular, nanostructured bainitic steels), with special emphasis on the role of the microstructure and the specimen geometry. These studies encompass the determination of intrinsic fatigue limits from notched specimens;...
