Determination of the Enhancement or Shielding Interaction between Two Parallel Cracks under Fatigue Loading

In this paper, the interactions between two parallel cracks are investigated experimentally and numerically. Finite element models have been established to obtain the stress intensity factors and stress distributions of the parallel cracks with different positions and sizes. Fatigue crack growth tes...
