I am trying to determine the number of cycles to failure for a solid piece of metal with a 1 inch crack in it. The metal is A36 steel.

Case 1: the crack is in the middle of the width on surface.

Case 2: the crack is on the edge at the surface.

Piece of steel is 100mm thick and 770 mm wide.

The cyclic tensile stress it experiences is 80.3 MPa.
