The simulated plastic wake length is one of the key modelling parameters involved. This paper presents a complete analysis in fatigue crack closure 3-D models. It is aimed at two aspects: the influence on the calculation of opening and closure values, and the effect on other main results. Conclusion indicates a 0.6· times Dugdale’s plastic size length to stabilise results as plastic zone or contact area, but a reduced length could be acceptable in terms of crack closure results. This suggests some independence among this parameter and fatigue crack closure. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Método de elementos finitos Mecánica de fractura Materiales - Fatiga Numerical modelling of three-dimensional fatigue crack closure: Plastic wake simulation. journal article
