A generalised phase field model for fatigue crack growth in elastic–plastic solids with an efficient monolithic solver

We present a generalised phase field-based formulation for predicting fatigue crack growth in metals. The theoretical framework aims at covering a wide range of material behaviour. Different fatigue degradation functions are considered and their influence is benchmarked against experiments. The phas...
