Role of plasticity-induced crack closure in fatigue crack growth [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2013 The premature contact of crack surfaces attributable to the near-tip plastic deformations under cyclic loading, which is commonly referred to as plasticity induced crack closure (PICC), has long been focused as supposedly controlling factor of fatigue ...

Extension of the CJP model to mixed mode I and mode II [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2013 The present authors have previously proposed a novel ‘plastic inclusion’ approach for dealing with the local plasticity which occurs at the tip of a growing fatigue crack.

Investigation of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure [PDF]
Australian Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2007 Plasticity induced crack closure and constraint effects due to finite plate thickness are both fundamental aspects in the mechanics of fatigue cracks. Moreover, plasticity induced crack closure provides an effective first-order correction to the crack ...

Crack tip strain evolution and crack closure during overload of a growing fatigue crack [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 It is generally accepted that fatigue crack growth is retarded after an overload, which has been explained either by plasticity-induced crack closure or near-tip residual stress.

Effect of crack propagation on crack tip fields [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2013 Crack closure influences fatigue crack growth rate and must be included in the design of components. Plasticity induced crack closure is intimately linked with the crack tip plastic deformation, which becomes residual as the crack propagates.

Effect of compressive loads on plasticity induced crack closure [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 2015 Abstract Compressive stresses play an important role on tension–compression fatigue which can be attributed to plasticity induced crack closure (PICC). The objective here is to study numerically the effect of compressive stresses on PICC and to discuss the applicability of PICC to explain the effect of negative stress ratios on fatigue crack growth ...

A numerical study of the effect of single overloads on plasticity induced crack closure [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 2017 In this work, the effect of single overloads on plasticity induced crack closure is studied. An elastic-plastic finite element model was developed and the crack opening level was calculated from the contact forces along the crack flank.

A parameter for quantitative analysis of plasticity induced crack closure [PDF]
International Journal of Fatigue, 2013 Numerical models have been successfully developed to predict plasticity induced crack closure (PICC). However, despite the large research effort a full understanding of the links between physical parameters, residual plastic wake and PICC has not been ...

A numerical analysis of the plastic wake influence on plasticity induced crack closure [PDF]
, 2017 Fatigue crack closure has been studied by means of finite element method since long time ago. Most work has been performed considering bi-dimensional models. Lately, the use of threedimensional models has been extended.
