Abstract
Most of the fatigue damage is concerned with fatigue phenomena stemming from a short surface crack [1], which usually starts from small surface flaws [2]. Generally, the surface cracks found in structures and machine elements are not a single crack but multi cracks, and these cracks grow three dimensionally by the procedure of initiation, growth, coalescence and fracture and for this reason, it is very complex to analyse the fatigue crack growth. Studies on the three dimensional character of surface cracks were performed by Kitagawa et al. [1], Suh et al. [3], and Murakami [4] et al. etc.
