Load-cmod data analysis for crack closure [PDF]
International Journal of Fracture, 1992 The use of load/crack-mouth-opening displacement (CMOD) records during fatigue cycling to estimate crack closure is evaluated by comparing load/CMOD values to benchmark crack opening data. Numerical differences between crack-opening stress values estimated by load/CMOD and the benchmark crack openings suggests that CMOD-estimated closure cannot ...
