The fatigue behavior of metal specimens is influenced by defects, material properties, and loading. This study aims to establish a multi-scale fatigue crack growth model that describes physically short crack (PSC) and long crack (LC) behavior. The model allows the calculation of crack growth rates for uniaxial loading at different stress ratios based on the material properties and specimen geometry. Furthermore, the model integrates the Gaussian distribution theory to consider material heterogeneity and the experimental measurement errors that cause fatigue scatter. The crack growth rate and fatigue life of metal specimens with different notch geometry were predicted. The curves generated by the multi-scale model were mainly consistent with the test data from the published literature at the PSC and LC stages.
