Abstract
The capability of the strip yield (SY) model to predict crack growth in structural steel is investigated. To this end the SY model implementation developed by the present authors is applied to simulate crack growth observed in S355J2 steel specimens under constant amplitude and simple variable amplitude loading. A particular attention is given to the calibration of the model using the constraint factors and examining whether tuning the model, based on constant amplitude loading, allows the adequate predictions for variable amplitude loading.
