Role of plasticity-induced crack closure in fatigue crack growth

The premature contact of crack surfaces attributable to the near-tip plastic deformations under cyclic loading, which is commonly referred to as plasticity induced crack closure (PICC), has long been focused as supposedly controlling factor of fatigue crack growth (FCG). Nevertheless, when the plane...
