Fatigue Crack Growth in Complex Stress Fields [PDF]
Fatigue crack growth has been traditionally modelled using LEFM through the use of the Paris law. This requires an accurate method for stress intensity factor (K) calculation. Weight functions have been developed for one-dimensional cracks (e.g.

A novel weight function for RMS stress intensity factor determination in surface cracks [PDF]
This paper discusses the problem of stress intensity factor determination in surface cracks. In particular, the concept of root mean square stress intensity factors (RMS SIF) is discussed for the general class of semi-elliptical surface cracks.

An inverse method for evaluating weld residual stresses via fatigue crack growth test data [PDF]
This paper presents an inverse method for calculating the thermal residual stresses in welded specimens via measured fatigue crack growth rates. Firstly, fracture-mechanics superposition law has been used to extract the stress intensity factor due to ...

Stress intensity factor histories of a steadily propagating crack under 3-D combined mode traction [PDF]
Elastodynamic stress intensity factor histories of an unbounded solid containing a semi-infinite plane crack that propagates at a constant velocity under 3-D time-independent combined mode loading are considered.

Stress intensity factor solutions for CTS mixed mode specimen
The Compact Tension Shear (CTS) specimen is used to study fracture and fatigue under mixed mode I/II loading conditions. The K solution available in literature was developed for fracture studies and does not consider the effect of crack deflection.
