Abstract
Normalised stress intensity (K-r) versus normalised limit load (L-r) failur e assessment diagrams now feature prominently in integrity assessments conc erned with the effects of cracks in engineering structures. A theoretical a nalysis shows that the K-r-L-r failure assessment curve for a multiple tens ile loading situation is essentially independent of the ratio of the magnit udes of these loadings.
