Abstract

The initiation of a crack in a specimen under tensile or compressive stresses is treated from the point of view of perturbation analysis. A surface distortion is Fourier analyzed into a series of waves and the amplitude response of a single component of varying frequency is theoretically investigated. The response of the individual components yields a Griffith-type criterion for wave amplitude growth. The model is applied to alloy systems undergoing stress corrosion cracking via surface diffusion.
