The effect of residual stresses arising from laser shock peening on fatigue crack growth [PDF]
Residual stresses have in the past been introduced to manipulate growth rates and shapes of cracks under cyclic loads. Previously, the effectiveness of shot peening in retarding the rate of fatigue crack growth was experimentally studied.

A numerical study of crack shielding and deflection under extensive plasticity [PDF]
Experimentally observed crack deflection events in multi-layered material systems, occurring even under pure mode-I loading, are here simulated and explained through elasto-plastic finite element modelling.

Evaluation of the intrinsic crack growth rates of weld joints [PDF]
A method is presented for evaluating weld intrinsic fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) by excluding the influence of residual stresses. The method is potentially useful for predicting crack growth lives of structural components using measured FCGR data ...

Prediction of fretting crack propagation based on a short crack methodology [PDF]
Fretting tests have been conducted to determine the maximum crack extension under partial slip conditions, as a function of the applied tangential force amplitude.

Introduction of a fretting-fatigue mapping concept: Development of a dual crack nucleation - crack propagation approach to formalize fretting-fatigue damage [PDF]
Fretting-fatigue induced by combined localized cyclic contact motion and external bulk fatigue loadings may result in premature and dramatic failure of the contacting components.

Surface Crack Shape Evolution Modelling using an RMS SIF approach [PDF]
The majority of fatigue cracks in thick plate and tubular sections in structural components are two-dimensional surface cracks having significant propagation lives before becoming critical.

Size effects on residual stress and fatigue crack growth in friction stir welded 2195-T8 aluminium - Part I: Experiments [PDF]
Residual stress fields were measured in three different sizes of Compact-Tension (C(T)) and eccentrically loaded single edge notch (ESE(T)) specimens containing transverse or longitudinal welds. The effect of size on residual stress profiles was studied.

Interaction between Edge-Crack and Aggregate in Silicate-Based Composite
The paper deals with investigation of the interaction between an edge-crack and an aggregate in a silicate-based composite, because adding of aggregates into basic matrix material can improve the fracture mechanical properties of the material ...
