Numerical modelling of crack shielding and deflection in a multi-layered material system

Finite element analysis has been used to investigate the fatigue behaviour observed in testing a layered structure (representative of an automotive journal bearing). The aim of the analysis was to explain the deflection or bifurcation observed as a fatigue crack propagates through the multi-layered...
