Effects of Overload and Underload on Internal Strains/Stresses and Crack Closure during Fatigue-Crack Propagation

The overload and/or underload occurring during constant-amplitude fatiguecrack growth result in the retardation and/or acceleration in the crack-growth rate, making it difficult to predict the crack-propagation behavior and fatigue lifetime. Although there have been numerous investigations to accoun...
