The effects of residual stress on elastic-plastic fracture propagation and stability

Residual stresses in materials affect their resistance to the initiation of fracture and to subsequent crack growth. Using full-field strain measurements and finite element analysis we demonstrate that the effect of residual stress on a material's crack growth resistance curve can be understood...
