Abstract
The variable-amplitude loading encountered in service often includes c ompressive excursions. It has been a common practice to ignore these e xcursions for fatigue crack growth analyses. Recently, experimental da ta on both smooth bars and cracked specimens with intermittent negativ e R ratio loadings have indicated that the effects of compressive excu rsions are not negligible.
