... are dominated by microcrack growth. However, in torsion crack growth dominates over an extended range of life, and, in addition, surface crack lengths are longer than uniaxial at similar fractions of life. It is concluded that whereas crack initiation on shear planes is relatively easy in torsion, the Stage I...
