Extension of the CJP model to mixed mode I and mode II

The present authors have previously proposed a novel ‘plastic inclusion’ approach for dealing with the local plasticity which occurs at the tip of a growing fatigue crack. This meso-scale model provides a modified set of crack tip stress intensity factors that include the magnitude of plastic wake-induced crack tip shielding and which have the potential to help resolve some long-standing controversies associated with plasticity-induced closure....
