Evaluation of Fatigue Crack Front Shape for a Specimen with Finite Thickness

Two-dimensional elastic or elasto-plastic models dominate the current fatigue crack growth assessment and life prediction procedures for plate components with through-the-thickness cracks. However, as demonstrated in many theoretical and experimental papers, the stress field near the crack tip is al...
