A model of the environmentally affected growth of fatigue cracks.
The authors discuss the processes of the damage accumulation and cracks growth under combination of the cylindrical loads and corrosion fatigue. The known correlations of equilibrium and balance of energy in the system ``body with cracks -- load'' are completed with the equations describing the processes of the damage accumulation near the crack edges and their continuations. The numerical example shows that the proposed model describes satisfactorily the behaviour peculiarities of the corrosion fatigue cracks.
