The effect of a free surface on fatigue crack behaviour is discussed in the paper and generalized stress intensity factor methodology is used for a reliable estimation of the fatigue crack propagation rate in the area close to a free surface, where the effect of vertex singularity is important. It i
Crack closure behaviour has long been found to have a significant influence on fatigue crack growth and a large amount of research has been done in the past 3 decades. Whereas the majority of these research efforts focus on long cracks, relatively little is known for short fatigue cracks, in particu
