1. A method for characterizing propagation of metallic short cracks and long cracks, comprising the following steps:
acquiring crack tip opening displacement in a metallic notched sample under cyclic loading, wherein the metallic notched sample comprises one of 316H austenitic stainless steel, 6063-T6 aluminum alloy and TC4 titanium alloy;
acquiring crack tip opening displacement amount caused by a single monotonic tensile in the metallic notched sample, and crack tip opening displacement caused by monotonic tensile in the metallic notched sample under a maximum far-field stress;
based on an original Shyam model, constructing, according to the crack tip opening displacement amount and the crack tip opening displacement caused by the monotonic tensile and by obtaining yield strength of the metallic notched sample, a Tmφc model for characterizing the propagation of the metallic short cracks and long cracks, wherein the Tmφc model is representing a growth rate of the metallic short cracks and long cracks;
