Four lectures on fatigue crack growth

Abstract During the course year 1976–1977 the author presented a series of eight lectures on fatigue crack growth at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology. Four of these lectures in a slighly modified version were presented in August 1977 as part of a Seminar on Fatigue, Fundamental and Applied Aspects, organized by the Lmkoping Institute of Technology (Prof. T. Ericsson). These lectures are reproduced here. Titles and summaries are given below.
