Fatigue crack closure: a review of the physical phenomena.
TL;DR: Plasticity‐induced, roughness‐induced and oxide‐induced crack closures are reviewed and special attention is devoted to the physical origin, the consequences for the experimental determination and the prediction of the effective crack driving force for fatigue crack propagation.

Numerical simulation of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure with emphasis on the crack growth scheme: 2D and 3D analyses
P.F.P. de Matos,David Nowell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical simulation of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure is performed using the finite element method and the authors show that increasing the number of load cycles between node releases has a strong effect on the opening stresses, particularly, under plane strain conditions and 3D fatigue cracks.

Numerical simulation of plasticity induced crack closure: Identification and discussion of parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the radial size of crack front elements and crack propagation on crack closure level is analyzed, and an extrapolation model is proposed, with excellent results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic plasticity and variable amplitude fatigue
TL;DR: Load history effects are observed both in cyclic plasticity and during fatigue crack growth as mentioned in this paper, which is analogous to a kinematic hardening effect, but related to crack tip mechanical fields.

R. C. McClung,Huseyin Sehitoglu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the elastic-plastic finite element simulation of fatigue crack growth and crack closure is presented and evaluated, showing that careful attention must be given to a series of critical decisions about mesh and model design if the analysis is to be reliable.
