The Evaluation of Front Shapes of Through-the-Thickness Fatigue Cracks
Fatigue failure of structural components due to cyclic loading is a major concern for engineers. Although metal fatigue is a relatively old subject, current methods for the evaluation of fatigue crack growth and fatigue lifetime have several limitations.

Plasticity induced crack closure in adhesively bonded joints under fatigue loading [PDF]
The mean load of a cyclic loading has a large effect on fatigue crack growth rates in metallic materials and bonded joints. In metallic structures, this effect has been attributed to plasticity-induced crack closure, but little is known about the ...

A numerical study of the effect of single overloads on plasticity induced crack closure [PDF]
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.

Effect of compressive loads on plasticity induced crack closure [PDF]
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 ...

Experimental evaluation of CTOD in constant amplitude fatigue crack growth from crack tip displacement fields [PDF]
In the current work an experimental study of the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) is performed to evaluate the ability of this parameter to characterise fatigue crack growth.
