Abstract
Using a moving template global-local finite element simulation scheme, a methodology is developed to handle the growth of fatigue cracks in components subject to cyclic thermomechanical environments. The generality of the scheme is such that it can handle: (1) material anistropy, (2) a probablistic definition of properties, (3) the thermomechanical coupling induced by the formation of a new wake on and its concomitant effects on the governing fields, (4) the opening and closure of a wake, and (5) the effects of oxidation of crack wake as it impinges thermal contact resistance. Included in the presentation are the results of several benchmark and demo examples
