Abstract
Subcritical crack growth that causes delayed failure is discussed in terms of fracture mechanics concepts. Techniques of characterizing subcritical crack growth are presented and the available crack growth data are discussed with particular emphasis on fracture mechanisms. Finally a design technique is presented to predict useful component lifetime from crack growth data after proof testing.
