- This work impacts the state-of-the-art understanding about the early-stage crack growth under very-high-cycle fatigue loading at elevated temperatures. The new method of assessing the crack growth rate has triggered new thinking about the importance of early-stage crack growth in terms of the fatigue lifetime prediction. The results can have significant consequences for design of aircraft gas turbine engines with enhanced fatigue life, and the paper has been cited by research leaders in the field (Prof Pollock, USA, and Prof Cormier, France, in the International Journal of Fatigue, and Prof. Dunne, UK, in Superalloys 2020, a pre-eminent conference).
