An elastic-plastic finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to examine the opening behavior of fatigue crack, where the contact elements are used in the mesh of the crack tip area. The relationship between fatigue crack opening behavior and cyclic crack tip opening displacement was studied in the previous study. In this paper, we investigate the effect of the element size when predict fatigue crack opening behavior using the cyclic crack tip opening displacement obtained from FEA. The cyclic crack tip opening displacement is well related to fatigue crack opening behavior.

Results from an elastic-plastic finite element analysis of a compact tension specimen (CTS) are presented and provide information on the growth of crack tip plastic zones, crack tip opening displacements, stresses and strains in the region of the crack tip, and Rice's J integral. The elastic-plastic crack separation energy rate GΔ is also evaluated when the crack extends at various loads by applying a crack tip node release technique.
