摘要

We demonstrate a mechanism-based methodology for establishing an equivalent initial flaw size distribution from microstructure characterization data and knowledge of fatigue and fracture mechanisms. The approach applies to fatigue life prediction of titanium alloys with fully lamellar microstructures and represents an improvement over existing fracture mechanics methods, leading toward tighter, more-accurate predictive bounds.
