The fatigue-crack-closure concept has been successfully used with stress-intensity factors to predict the growth of cracks under a wide variety of load histories and in complex crack configurations. Both test and crack-closure analyses have shown that the stress-intensityfactor-range-against-rate cu

In this study, the effects of compressive stresses on the crack tip parameters and its implication on fatigue crack growth have been studied. Elastic-plastic finite element analysis has been used to analyse the change of crack tip parameters with the increase of the applied compressive stress level.
Double edge notched axial compression specimens taken from thick welded steel joints have been used to grow fatigue cracks under pulsating compressive loads at mean stresses up to 55% of that needed for general yielding. The redistribution of residual stresses during specimen preparation and during
