The work presents the results of the analysis of fatigue crack growth in flat steel samples for different strain conditions on crack tip in the sample. Growth of fatigue crack in the samples was studied in conditions of a plane strain state, plane stress state and in the transitory zone between those states. Test results showed a clear influence of these conditions on the fatigue crack growth rate. The paper also includes the test results of effectiveness of retardation of fatigue crack growth after single overload cycles used in different strain conditions.

The paper presents the results of a continued study of curved fatigue crack growth in a multiple arbitrarily pre-cracked isotropic sheet under plane stress loading. The predictor-corrector method (PCM) was extended in order to analyse the growth of multiple crack systems in a finite 2D structure. Together with the recently proposed improved modified virtual crack closure integral (MVCCI) method we can obtain accurate SIF values also for interacting cracks, and furthermore we can simulate fatigue crack growth of multiple crack systems in plane sheets under proportional mixed mode loading conditions. As a result, the program PCCS-2D is written to run within ANSYS to simulate interacting curved cracks. In order to check the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method several example problems are solved. Especially curved cracks emanating from loaded fastener holes in sheets are analysed.
