Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Pre-Strain on Fatigue Crack Growth in AA2024-T351

The objective here is to study the effect of pre-strain on fatigue crack growth (FCG) in 2024-T351 aluminum alloy. Three pre-strain conditions were considered: without pre-strain, compressive and tensile permanent pre-strains of 4%. A numerical approach based on cumulative plastic strain at the crac...
