Elevated temperature data for powder metallurgy alloy René 95 generated in vacuum are presented to demonstrate that the life differences observed between surface and internally initiated failures are due to an environmental effect. The transition in behavior from a mode at low stress dominated by internal initiations to a surface dominated mode at high stress is quantitatively described in terms of both a weakest-link model and a local strain relationship. A fatigue failure mechanism is provided that explains that the natural selection of initiation site is based upon the concept that the site displaying the highest local cyclic plastic strain is the location where fatigue initiates.

This study investigates the reliability of a plate containing a semi-elliptical surface crack intersecting regions of dissimilar material properties. A weakest-link model is developed to express fracture toughness distributions in terms of effective crack lengths that account for the varying stress intensity factor along the crack front. The model is intended to aid in the development of fracture toughness distributions for cracks encountering local brittle zones (LBZ) in the heat-affected zones (HAZ) of welded joints, where lower-bound fracture toughness values have been measured in the laboratory when a significant portion of the crack front is intersecting the coarse-grained LBZs. An example reliability analysis is presented for a surface crack in a material containing alternating bands of two Weibull-distributed toughnesses. [S0892-7219(00)01203-6]
