A survey of failure criteria and parameters in mixed-mode fatigue crack growth

From the present survey of the mixed-mode crack growth criteria based on the fracture toughness KIc (critical J-integral), it follows that this concept is very extensively and variously used by different authors. The criteria discussed in the work are based on the parameters K, δ, W, and J. The most extensively applied models include the mixed mode I + II described by the stress intensity factor K. The criteria presented in the work are based on the factors affecting the fatigue crack growth during testing, namely stress, crack-tip displacement, or energy dissipation. In the case of mixed-mode cracking, special attention should be paid to the energy approach (application of the J-integral and strain energy density), which seems to be very promising for elastoplastic materials. Under mixed-mode cracking, two things should be taken into account: the rate and direction of fatigue-crack growth. Moreover, the nonproportional loading, crack closure, or overloads strongly affect the process of fatigue crack growth in the case of mixed-mode cracking.
