Hill Engineering recently published new research outlining a approach for predicting fatigue crack growth in the presence of residual stress fields. The paper is titled Measurement-driven, model-based estimation of residual stress and its effect on fatigue crack growth. Part 2: fatigue crack growth testing and modeling and appears in International Journal of Fatigue. The abstract text is available here along with a link to the publication.
