Effect of Residual Stresses on Fatigue Crack Growth: A Numerical Study Based on Cumulative Plastic Strain at the Crack Tip

Residual stresses affect the fatigue behavior, given that compressive stresses delay the phenomenon, while tensile stresses accelerate it. However, the mechanisms behind the effect of residual stresses are not totally understood. A numerical study is developed here to understand the effect of therma...
