The prediction of fatigue crack growth is a major concern in the design of mechanical
components and engineering structures subjected to cyclic loading. One of the best-known …

Lightweight titanium alloys are being increasingly used in high value structures, but in-depth
knowledge of the rotating bending fatigue (RBF) mechanism remains insufficient, particularly …

This paper deals with the numerical study of the plasticity-induced crack closure of through-
thickness plane cracks, in CT specimens made of 304L austenitic stainless steel. The initial …

The corner point singularity of surface cracks by finite element method (FEM) has become a
numerical concern decades ago. The literature showed that the stress intensity factors (SIFs) …

In this paper, fatigue growth analyses of a surface crack in a solid cylinder under combined
cyclic axial-torsion loadings through experimentation and numerical simulation are …

This paper deals with the effect of several residual stress profiles on the fatigue crack
propagation in prestressing steel wires subjected to tension loading or bending moment. To …

As a fatigue crack grows, its shape changes. Conventional method for predicting the shape
change typically requires the computation of several hundred increments to get accurate …

This paper presents a new analytical method for the analysis of fatigue growth of surface
cracks in various structural components. The method is based on a governing equation …

As a fatigue crack grows, its shape changes. The shape of the growing crack can be affected
by the initial crack shape, the load type and the fatigue crack growth rate of the material …

This paper presents an analytical-based approach to simulate fatigue growth of surface
cracks in round bars subjected to cyclic tension and/or bending. The proposed approach …
