A numerical study of the effect of single overloads on plasticity induced crack closure

In this work, the effect of single overloads on plasticity induced crack closure is studied. An elastic-plastic finite element model was developed and the crack opening level was calculated from the contact forces along the crack flank. The effects of the loading parameters and stress state are anal...
