FIGURE 3: CRACK PROPAGATION RATE VERSUS CRACK LENGTH NOTCH SHARPNESS -COLD EXPANSION EFFECT The figure 3 shows the evolution of crack propagation rate and bring out the notch sharpness effect (hole radius) and the cold expansion effect. A increase of the hole radius and of the cold expansion degree lead to a decrease of the crack propagation rate . We have to notice after cold expansion the crack propagation rate don’t go back initial value, that means the parameters of the PARIS law have changed.
