Abstract
A theoretical analysis is performed for fatigue crack closure in a through- thickness cracked body based on a three-dimensional strip yield model. The effects of stress state and thickness on crack closure is discussed. The pr esent results coincide very well with three-dimensional finite element resu lts.
