Analytical modelling of the influence of local mixed mode displacements on roughness induced crack closure

Application of crack closure analytical modelling to predict the behavior of complex fatigue crack growth properties is limited partly due to restricted two-dimensional modelling approaches. An analytical model of roughness induced crack closure (RICC) is developed in the present paper considering a...
