Abstract: Metal magnetic memory (MMM) is a promising non-destructive evaluation method for ferromagnetic materials, allowing early detection of stress concentration and micro-defects under weak geomagnetic excitation. However, current magneto-mechanical coupling models are computationally complex and insufficient to characterize the full-cycle evolution of mesoscale physically short cracks. This work proposes a magnetic dipole model and its decomposed formulation for V-shaped cracks. Combined with theoretical derivation, finite element simulation, and in situ three-point bending tests on Q345 steel, the magneto-mechanical coupling mechanism and magnetic signal evolution during crack propagation are investigated. Results show that the MMM normal component exhibits obvious peak-peak features at the crack tip, while the tangential component shows a single-peak characteristic. Two critical signal mutations are observed at crack lengths of about 100 μm and 3000 μm, corresponding to micro-meso and meso-macro crack transitions, respectively. The model is verified with relative errors of 15.2% for Hx and 17.6% for Hy. This study reveals the quantitative correlation between MMM signals and full-lifecycle crack growth, supporting damage assessment and fatigue life prediction for ferromagnetic engineering structures.
