However, information about the interior of the component is key to understanding the mechanisms governing the damage processes at a crack tip for both fatigue and fracture events. In this work we present a detailed numerical analysis of the evolution of the plastic zone through the thickness of an aluminium alloy specimen. This is done by means of ultra-fine non- linear finite element models. The simulated results are compared with experimental displacement data measured optically from the surface of the specimen. eng open access by-nc-nd Mecánica de fractura Through thickness evolution of crack tip plasticity conference output
