Fatigue crack growth peculiarities and modifications of the Wheeler retardation model (Part 2)
Modifications of the Wheeler retardation model have been presented in the paper. The modifications improve description of data resulting from investigations on fatigue crack growth phenomena, in particular, for higher values of overloads.
Keywords: crack growth; overloads; retardation; Wheeler model
