Aspect Ratio Evolution in Embedded, Surface, and Corner Cracks in Finite-Thickness Plates under Tensile Fatigue Loading

This article deals with the computational modelling of the fatigue crack aspect ratio evolution in embedded, surface, and corner cracks located in finite-thickness plates under tensile fatigue. The approach is based on the Paris law for fatigue propagation and an expression for the stress intensity...
