BS ISO 12108:2018

This standard BS ISO 12108:2018 Metallic materials. Fatigue testing. Fatigue crack growth method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.040.10 Mechanical testing of metals

This document describes tests for determining the fatigue crack growth rate from the fatigue crack growth threshold stress-intensity factor range, ΔK_th, to the onset of rapid, unstable fracture.

This document is primarily intended for use in evaluating isotropic metallic materials under predominantly linear-elastic stress conditions and with force applied only perpendicular to the crack plane (mode I stress condition), and with a constant force ratio, R.
