    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the requirements for determining fatigue crack growth rates using the corner-crack (CC) test piece. Crack development is measured using a potential-drop system, and the calculated crack depths can be corrected via marker bands created on the fracture surface during the test.
