Abstract
Variations of residual stress fields in a fatigue test specimen and/or across specimens influence the fatigue crack growth rate measurements. Therefore, these variations can contribute significantly to the scatter of fatigue properties obtained on specimens, such as additively manufactured specimens without stress relief, specifically at low stress intensity factor range. To address this problem, a new compliance-based method is developed for correcting fatigue crack growth data in the presence of a residual stress fields of variable magnitude. It is based on the theoretical modelling of the propagation of an edge crack in an elasto-plastic material subjected to cyclic loading of a constant amplitude. The method is demonstrated for compact tension super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) and aluminium specimens tested without post-fabrication heat treatment. The method can be applied for both the evaluation of residual stress fields in fatigue specimens and obtaining the intrinsic fatigue properties of materials.

Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:
Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)
Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading
Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions
Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)
Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects
Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue
Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)
Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering
Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation
Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
