A numerical study of fatigue crack closure induced by plasticity

Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, 2004
ABSTRACTCrack closure delays the intrinsic mechanisms responsible for crack growth, therefore, it must be considered in fatigue crack growth modelling. The objective of this work is to develop a numerical procedure to predict crack closure induced by plasticity.

Influence of Material Parameters on Plasticity Induced Crack Closure

Key Engineering Materials, 2009
Plasticity Induced Crack Closure (PICC) is an important fatigue phenomenon affecting crack growth under cyclic loading, which makes important to consider it in the design of components. In this paper a parametric study that correlates elastic-plastic material parameters with plasticity induced crack closure (PICC) is presented.

Estimation of plasticity-induced crack closure in a pre-existing plastic zone

International Journal of Fatigue, 1996
Abstract To estimate the plasticity-induced crack closure in a pre-existing plastic zone using Newman's strip-yield model, the interactions between the crack plasticity and the pre-existing plasticity must be known. In the current study, the total plasticity of a fatigue crack propagating in a pre-existing overload plastic zone and a notch plastic ...

On crack tip shielding due to plasticity‐induced closure during an overload

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 2010
ABSTRACTThe mechanisms underlying the plasticity‐induced shielding of a crack tip during fatigue are investigated at both constant amplitude loading and in a case with a substantial single‐cycle overload. A recently developed mathematical model of the stress field around the crack was fitted to maps of isochromatic fringe data obtained from phase ...

Numerical study of the effect of plastic wake on plasticity‐induced fatigue crack closure

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 2009
ABSTRACTFatigue crack closure is strongly influenced by the plastic wake developed because of the action of precedent cycles. It is related to the load sequence and is an additional difficulty for its determination. Finite‐element method has been an alternative for the study of crack closure, commonly in constant‐amplitude loading.

Plasticity Induced Fatigue Crack Closure

1988
Experimental measurements of plasticity-induced crack closure related factors were made on the aluminum alloy 7091-T7E69 using high resolution microscopy techniques. Two stress intensity factors were examined at a stress ratio of 0.1. The length of open crack as a function of load magnitude and the load required to open the crack to its tip were ...

Transient behaviour in the numerical analysis of plasticity induced crack closure

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 2013
ABSTRACTA transient behaviour is observed in the numerical analysis of plasticity induced crack closure at the beginning of crack propagation, as the residual plastic field is being formed. The extent of crack propagation prior to plasticity induced crack closure measurement has a major influence on the accuracy of numerical prediction and on ...

Effect of Underloads on Plasticity-Induced Crack Closure: A Numerical Analysis

Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology, 2019
The effect of underloads is mostly quantified by the averaged effect on the fatigue crack growth rate, and the transient behavior is rarely investigated. The objective of this paper is to study the mechanisms behind the effect of underloads, periodic underloads, and underloads combined with overloads.

Dynamic Analysis of Plasticity-Induced Fatigue Crack Closure

1989
Crack closure during fatigue crack propagation is a phenomenon widely investigated in the last years by experimental means. Researches have achieved the knowledge of the different causes of the problem: the roughness-induced crack closure, the oxide -induced crack closure, the compressive stresses in the plastic zone near the crack tip produced by ...

Three-Dimensional aspects of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1989
A three-dimensional elastoplastic finite element analysis of fatigue crack growth and closure in a center-crack tension specimen was performed in order to investigate the crack opening stress as a function of specimen thickness under constant amplitude loading conditions. Elastic-perfectly plastic conditions were assumed and cycle loading was kept at R
