Numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth

This thesis describes the advances made by the author on the direct modelling of the fatigue growth of planar cracks A versatile step-by-step 3D finite element technique has been developed, which calculates the stress intensity factors at a set of points on the crack front according to linear elasti...
