A Literature Review of Incorporating Crack Tip Plasticity into Fatigue Crack Growth Models García-González, Antonio Luis Castro Egler, Cristina Aguilera-García, José Antonio Moreno Cerezo, Pablo López-Crespo, Pablo Mecánica de la fractura stress intensity factor (SIF) linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) linear elasto–plastic fracture mechanics (LEPFM) crack closure (CC This paper presents an extensive literature review focusing on the utilisation of crack tip plastic- ity as a crucial parameter in determining and enhancing crack growth models. The review encompasses a comprehensive analysis of various methodologies, predominantly emphasising numerical simulations of crack growth models while also considering analytical approaches. Although experimental inves- tigations are not the focus of this review, their relevance and interplay with numerical and analytical methods are acknowledged. The paper critically examines these methodologies, providing insights into their advantages and limitations. Ultimately, this review aims to offer a holistic understanding of the role of crack tip plasticity in the development of effective crack growth models, highlighting the synergies and gaps between theoretical, experimental, and simulation-based approaches 2025-01-09T12:23:43Z 2025-01-09T12:23:43Z 2023 journal article VoR https://hdl.handle.net/10630/36068 https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16247603 eng open access application/pdf MDPI
