Abstract. The fatigue crack propagation life-span of the engineering structure is studied. Linear elastic fracture mechanics is applied to analyze the life-span of fatigue crack growth of specimen, which is under constant amplitude load. The software of Fatigue is used to calculate the life-span of a center crack plate steel specimen. The result show that the calculated values of the life-span are basically well with the experimental data.
