Abstract

Mechanical behaviors at fatigue crack tips of cracked specimens under negative loading ratios are studied in detail by the finite element method in this paper. Three factors induced by specimen type and loading type on fatigue crack field are discussed, including constraint, compressive loading effect (CL effect) and crack contact closure. For mode I crack under negative loading ratios, the effects of the CL effect and crack contact closure on plastic strain accumulations are dominant, with the constraint effect being minor. The constraint effect has effects on the monotonous plastic zone, while the CL effect and contact closure both have effects on the reversed plastic zone (RPZ) and residual tensile plastic zone (RTPZ). That is, the higher the constraint, the smaller the size of the monotonous plastic zone; the greater the CL effect, or the smaller the contact degree, the larger the size of RPZ and RTPZ. For mode II crack, there is only CL effect on the crack tip field without the effect of constraint and contact closure, so plastic strain accumulation at the mode II crack tip is much greater than that at the mode I crack tip when they are under the same loading level.
