The accurate calculation of the opening and closing stresses is an important issue in fatigue crack closure problems, since the effective driving force for crack growth is dependent on accurate calculation of the opening stresses. Often numerical methods such as finite element analysis are used to model plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure problems. There are many difficulties associated with this modelling work, since the results may depend on a wide range of parameters such as mesh refinement, node release scheme and modelling of the contact between the crack faces etc. Even after a great deal of modelling work some arbitrariness is evident in the technique used for assessing the opening and closing stresses. A number of techniques have been proposed in the literature and the current work will assess and compare these approaches. The node displacement method, the change in stresses at the crack tip, and the weight function technique will each be applied to a finite element model of a plane stress crack for a range of stress levels. In addition, an analytical model for plasticity-induced crack closure under plane stress conditions will be used to discuss the accuracy of these techniques. The investigation shows that all these techniques are equivalent provided that the displacement and stress at the crack tip are assessed accurately. However, it will be shown that use of the tensile tip stress method, proposed by some authors for assessing the closing stress, is erroneous. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
