In this study, fatigue crack closure behavior was investigated in the aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and the carbon steel JIS. S25C. It was found that crack closure in the aluminum alloy 6061-T6 showed the characteristics of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure (PIFCC), whereas the carbon steel JIS. S25C showed the characteristics of roughness-induced fatigue crack closure (RIFCC). The experiments included the determination of the crack-opening levelsKopas a function of stress intensity factor range ΔKand the effect of surface removal on the crack-opening level. In order to simulate the behaviors of the plasticity-and the roughness-induced fatigue crack closure, the finite element method was adopted. The results of FEM were in good agreement with the experimental results. It was cconcluded that at a given yield strength level , a low Youngs modulus and a low work-hardening coefficient will favor PIFCC, whereas a high Youngs modulus and a high work-hardening coefficient will favor RIFCC.
