Abstnet--several co-existing, mutuaIiy competitive mechanisms are involved in fatigue crack growth after o~lo~ing. The lowest fatigue crack growth rate, the crack growth increment at which the fatigue crack growth rate reaches its minimum, and the overloading a&xted zone size are the three most imp

A numerical analysis of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure based upon the finite difference method is presented. This new method permits modelling easily fatigue crack growth as well as contacts between fracture faces, without requiring sophisticated algorithms. The model is applied to a wide
The phenomenon of fatigue crack closure has attracted continued interest over recent years. This paper concerns itself with one aspect of the phenomenon namely the effects of a single asperity on the crack face close to the crack tip and under dominantly plane strain Mode 1 loading conditions. The m
Recently Elber proposed that fatigue cracks close at positive stress levels during constant amplitude stress cycling. To investigate this behaviour, centrally cracked 2024-T3 A~umiRium ahoy sheets were tested. Crack opening displacements and strains near the fracture surface were measured for a prop
The plane strain, fatigue crack problem in which fracture surface asperities prevent closure is considered. A model in which closure contact can develop on a distribution of asperities is introduced. A comparison of closure behavior for one and for two asperities is made, and the effects of variatio
