Effect of numerical parameters on plastic CTOD

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) is associated with irreversible and non-linear processes happening at the crack tip. This explains different problems observed in the use of da/dN-?K curves, namely the inability to explain stress ratio and load history effects. The replacement of ?K by nonlinear crack tip...
