Study of Crack Closure Effect of Hull Plate under Low Cycle Fatigue

The crack closure phenomenon significantly influences low cycle fatigue (LCF) crack growth. The crack closure theory deems that a crack can grow only when the applied load is greater than the fatigue crack opening and closing loads. The revised crack closure theory proposed in this paper provides a...
