Abstract
AbstractThe three‐dimensional simulation of fatigue crack growth under the consideration of 3D effects is presented to follow complex crack paths as realistic as possible from the macroscopic point of view. This aim is mainly based on two aspects. Firstly, an accurate stress analysis is performed by the boundary element method in terms of the 3D Dual BEM. Secondly, a suitable 3D crack growth criterion based on experimental observations is utilized. Due to the non‐linearity of crack growth the whole procedure is embedded in an advanced incremental crack growth algorithm. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
