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 role of the presence of a non-deformable second phase in a soft matrix on the plasticity induced crack closure behavior of a growing fatigue crack is analyzed as a boundary value problem using elastic-plastic finite element techniques. Three cases of plasticity induced crack closure are simulate
Three-dimensional, elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analysis of small surface cracks was performed. The elastic analysis is in good agreement with other solutions. For a round surface with a radius equal to six times the crack depth, the K at the surface is about 4% higher than the K for a
