Mechanisms for the retardation of fatigue cracks following single tensile overloads: behavior in aluminum-lithium alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of fatigue crack closure in a high-strength aluminum-lithium alloy 2090-T8E41, and found that following the application of the overload, an immediate acceleration in fatigue crack growth is observed, which results from a reduction in (far-field) crack closure levels due to crack tip blunting.
