This MATLAB code calculates crack growth rates for different stress intensity factor ranges using the Paris law material constants C and m. It initializes an array to store the results, then loops through each stress intensity factor value in the given vector to calculate and store the corresponding crack growth rate using the Paris law equation. Finally, it displays and plots the input stress intensity factor values alongside the calculated crack growth rates.

m = 3.0; % Replace with the actual value for your material
% Define the stress intensity factor range for each cycle (ΔK) % This can be a vector of ΔK values for different cycles DeltaK = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]; % Replace with your specific values
% Initialize an empty array to store crack growth rates
deltA_deltN = zeros(size(DeltaK));
% Calculate crack growth rates for each ΔK value
for i = 1:length(DeltaK) deltA_deltN(i) = C * (DeltaK(i))^m; end
