de Koning, A.U. (author), Henriksen, T.K. (author), ten Hoeve, H.J. (author)Fatigue crack growth associated with cyclic (secondary) plastic flow near a crack front is modelled using an incremental formulation. A new description of threshold behaviour under small load cycles is included. Quasi-static crack extension under high load excursions is described using an incremental formulation of the R-(crack growth resistance...report 1994

Koolloos, M.F.J. (author), ten Hoeve, H.J. (author), Grooteman, F.P. (author), de Koning, A.U. (author)Multiple Site Damage (MSD) is a typical problem for ageing civil and transport aircraft, where the large number of fuselage pressure cycles may cause fatigue cracking at multiple rivet locations. The residual strength of a panel with a leading crack and MSD cracks is lower than that of a panel with the same leading crack but without MSD. This...report 2001
