Paris' Law Coefficients for Steel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for Paris' Law coefficients (C and m) for steel, specifically in the context of fatigue analysis for a CT specimen. The original poster completed a fatigue lab and seeks to compare their computed values with published data. A helpful resource was shared, linking to a study by MIT that includes the coefficients on page 7, which can assist others in similar situations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Paris' Law in fracture mechanics
  • Familiarity with fatigue testing of materials
  • Knowledge of steel alloys and their properties
  • Basic research skills for academic literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the MIT study on Paris' Law coefficients for steel
  • Explore additional literature on fatigue testing methodologies
  • Investigate the impact of different steel alloys on Paris' Law coefficients
  • Learn about advanced fatigue analysis techniques in materials science
USEFUL FOR

Materials scientists, mechanical engineers, and students involved in fatigue testing and fracture mechanics who are seeking to understand or compare Paris' Law coefficients for various steel alloys.

I've recently completed a fatigue lab for a CT specimen of steel, and I wanted to compare my computed values of Paris' Law coefficients with previously published data for error analysis. Does anyone know where I can find the values for C and m? Repeated Google searches have born me no fruit. It doesn't matter what type of steel alloy as we were never given any information in regards to what type of steel we were working with. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Persistence always pays off. Here's a link to a study done by MIT with the Paris' Law coefficients on page 7, just in case anyone needs it for future reference. :smile:

Thanks! I was looking for the same thing. I wonder if we're in the same class...haha
