“…The approach makes feasible fatigue analysis of the damage process commencing from initiation of service loading through the crack initiation at a structural discontinuity and growth until onset of a critical condition, e.g., until the through crack in a pipe line, e.g. [14,17], etc. What may be regarded promising, the damage accumulation model may be complemented by the crack growth model given by the Linear fracture mechanics (LFM) principles, e.g.…”
