The effect of the mechanism of crack growth under cyclic loading on the rate of growth per cycle, and hence on the relationship between amplitude of applied stress and frequency of application before failure, is compared for the different growth mechanisms that have been proposed. The limitations and restrictions of the various mechanisms are indicated.
