Experimental methodology for the quantification of crack tip plastic zone and shape from the analysis of displacement fields

The current work presents a novel methodology for the experimental quantification of the crack tip plastic zone during fatigue crack growth. This methodology is based on the application of yield criteria to estimate the area and the shape of the plastic zone at the crack tip. The implementation of...
