Temperature dependence of fatigue crack propagation rate of pressureless sintered Ag nanoparticles

The effects of temperatures on the rate of pressure-less sintered fatigue crack propagation were investigated in this study. For each test temperature, the Dowling-Begley's fatigue crack propagation law held true. Temperature effects on the behavior of fatigue crack propagation appeared mainly in the power exponent of the Dowling-Begley law.
