Abstract

Fracture surface interactions, of whatever origin, can significantly affect the stress intensity factor, and consequently, can also be relevant to fatigue crack propagation. In the occurrence of interaction between fracture surfaces, the effective loading cycle experienced by material near the crack tip may be very different from that evaluated on the basis of the external loadings only. The purpose of the work described in this paper is to obtain the effective mode II stress intensity factor, k IIeff, in a surface cracked elasto-plastic plate with a factory roof fracture surface subjected to an in-plane shear (mode II) loading. A new model estimating the magnitude of the frictional mode II stress intensity factor, k f, arising from the mismatch of the fracture surface roughness during in-plane shear, is developed. Furthermore, the results of this study are employed in modeling the fatigue response of the surface cracked plates subjected to mixed mode loading.
