We propose a construction of fatigue laws from cohesive forces models in the case of a crack submitted to a mode I cyclic loading. Taking the cumulated opening as the memory variable and the surface energy density associated with Dugdale's model, we explicitly construct the fatigue law which gives the crack
growth rate by cycle...
