Abstract
A stochastic model is proposed for the propagation of a fatigue crack. It is shown that fatigue crack growth can be described by a transition density function, and that the probability of a fatigue crack reaching a critical size can be determined by solving the diffusion equation. The commonly used rate of crack growth, d
a
/d
N
, appears in the diffusion model as the drift parameter.
