“…Reported models for the access of VHCF strength of high-strength steels are based on inclusion sizes and assuming a Paris law for fatigue crack growth [18-21]. If the diameters of inclusions are constant, we can deduce that there is a power-law relationship between the stress amplitude and the number of cycles to failure from both Murakami's model and Tanaka and Akiniwa's model, as shown below [18,20,21],
where A , b , C and m are constant and could be derived from fitting the fatigue parameters,
