Revisiting Classical Issues of Fatigue Crack Growth Using a Non-Linear Approach

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) has been studied for decades; however, several aspects are still objects of controversy. The objective here is to discuss different issues, using a numerical approach based on crack tip plastic strain, assuming that FCG is driven by crack tip deformation. DK was found to c...
