✦ Synopsis

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 analysis on the influence of mechanical properties of the material (yield stress, strain hardening capacity) and testing conditions (plane stress or strain, stress ratio, maximum load) on plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure. The agreement with other numerical or experimental results when possible is excellent. It is concluded that plasticity-induced crack closure is determined by compressive residual stresses induced behind the crack tip. These residual stresses depend on plastic strains produced in the material as well as on its strain hardening capacity.

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 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
