Crack initiation characteristics and fatigue property of a high-strength steel in VHCF regime under different stress ratios by Xiaolong Liu, Chengqi Sun, Youshi Hong

“…However, the variation tendency of the S-N data from low-cycle fatigue to VHCF regime is similar for the four cases. SEM observations of the fracture surface indicate that fatigue crack initiates from the surface of specimen in low-cycle regime and initiates mostly from the inclusion in the interior of specimen in high-cycle and VHCF regimes, which is irrespective of the state of stress ratio. …”
