Fatigue Life Prediction Based on Crack Closure and Equivalent Initial Flaw Size
Failure analysis and fatigue life prediction are necessary and critical for engineering structural materials. In this paper, a general methodology is proposed to predict fatigue life of smooth and circular-hole specimens, in which the crack closure model and equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) conce...
