Abstract
Fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) test of B grade steel was performed to clarify the probabilistic behavior of crack propagation in near-threshold region and steady-state region. As a result, a crack propagation law considering influence of threshold value and average stress can be well proposed to estimate crack propagation behavior of B grade steel. The estimated value of threshold value ΔKth is 293.65MPamm1/2, approaching the experimental value of ΔKth, about 280.39MPamm1/2. Furthermore, the probabilistic FCGR curves of B grade steel are established from the viewpoint of survival probability and confidence degree, which reflects the influence of scatter regularity of data and sample size on reliability assessment.
