A fatigue crack growth rate in consideration of fatigue damage accumulation and the mean stress on fatigue material elements ahead of a crack tip are derived using Both Miner's rule and the Manson-Coffin relationship. The theoretical equation of fatigue crack growth rate is shown in terms of J-integ

Abstract
In this paper a procedure to simulate the crack growth under consideration of elastic‐plastic material behavior by means of the finite element method is described. Within this procedure, after each increment of crack advance, the structure is remeshed and the status variables, such as the components of the backstress‐tensor and the plastic strains, are transferred from the old mesh to the new one. Due to mapping of the variables, improper conditions are possibly prevailing at the beginning of the new analysis, which has to be captured by the used material routine. The main focus of this paper is to describe these necessary numerical adjustments.
