Microscopic parallel ridges on a fatigue fracture surface, one per load cycle

In fractography, striations are the fine, regularly spaced parallel ridges left on a fatigue fracture surface, each marking the advance of the crack during one loading cycle. Campbell Laird and G. C. Smith described the plastic-blunting mechanism that produces them in Crack propagation in high stress fatigue in Philosophical Magazine. The referent is a crack-growth record on broken metal, not the banding of a muscle fibre or scratches gouged into bedrock by a glacier.[1]

Unit
One striation, corresponding to one fatigue load cycle
Recovery means
Examine a fatigue fracture surface under electron microscopy and count the parallel ridges
Measured by
Imaged by SEM; spacing correlates with the per-cycle crack growth rate da/dN
