A Methodology for Incorporating the Effect of Grain Size on the Energy Efficiency Coefficient for Fatigue Crack Initiation Estimation in Polycrystalline Metal

Estimating fatigue crack initiation of applied loading is challenging due to the large number of individual entities within a microstructure that could affect the accumulation of dislocations. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of fatigue crack initiation models, it is essential to accurate...
