— The paper shows the practical significance of theoretical studies of fatigue crack propagation in real structures, and a comparison of the results of fracture mechanics theory with the actual failure mode of structures. It follows from these conclusions that neither the influence of the magnitude and complexity of structure, nor that of the random character of loading can be overlooked. Therefore, when applying laboratory test data the character of the structure under consideration and the loading conditions should be thoroughly appreciated.
