Die vorliegende Dissertation entstand wahrend meiner Tatigkeit als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl fur Fertigungstechnologie der Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg.

Der Bericht beschrankt sich dabei nur auf den Teilaspekt der numerischen Simulation von Rissinitiierung und Oberflachenermudung und enthalt die Darstellung und Uberprufung der dafur entwickelten theoretischen Grundla gen; die erarbeiteten bruchmechanischen Grundlagen der Versagenssimulation hingegen wurden in einem weiteren Forschungsbericht zusammengefasst, der in der gleichen Berichts reihe erscheint.
