Fatigue Crack Propagation of Corroded High-Strength Steel Wires Using the XFEM and the EIFS

A fatigue test and numerical simulation on corroded high-strength steel wires with multiple corrosion pits were conducted. A new approach combining the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and the Equivalent Initial Flaw Size (EIFS) was proposed to investigate three-dimensional fatigue crack growth...
