Abstract
(Scripta Materialia doesn't use an Abstract -- Took 1st sentence of Intro) Fatigue crack initiation in initally smooth samples of ductile metals free of surface defects almost always occurs at the free surface a sa result of surface rioughening and the development of a critical surface morphology (1-3).
