Effect of crack propagation on crack tip fields

Crack closure influences fatigue crack growth rate and must be included in the design of components.Plasticity induced crack closure is intimately linked with the crack tip RELORA plastic deformation, which becomes residual as the crack propagates.The objective here is to study numerically the effect of crack propagation on crack tip fields.The tra
