Abstract
On the basis of a plastic-strip model and the method of singular integral equations, a closed-form analytical solution of the problem of an elastic-plastic plate containing a rectilinear fatigue crack is considered. The solution is used for the prediction of fatigue growth of 'mechanically-small' crack by accounting for reverse plastic yielding and plasticity-induced crack closure in the material. The main effects of these factors on the crack-growth rate are analyzed, and the predicted results are compared with experimental data on small fatigue-crack growth in a aluminum-lithium alloy 2091-T351 and Fe-3% Si alloy.
