TY - JOUR PB - Springer-Verlag JF - International Journal of Fracture IS - 2 SN - 1573-2673 N2 - An semi-analytical formulation based on the cohesive crack model is proposed to describe the phenomenon of fatigue crack growth along an interface. Since the process of material separation under cyclic loading is physically governed by cumulative damage, the material deterioration due to fatigue is taken into account in terms of interfacial cohesive properties degradation. More specifically, the damage increment is determined by the current separation and a history variable. The damage variable is introduced into the constitutive cohesive crack law in order to capture the history-dependent property of fatigue. Parametric studies are presented to understand the influences of the two parameters entering the damage evolution law. An application to a pre-cracked double-cantilever beam is discussed. The model is validated by experimental data. Finally, the effect of using different shapes of the cohesive crack law is illustrated EP - 104 ID - eprints2008 VL - 173 Y1 - 2012/// UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10704-011-9666-y A1 - Gong, Baoming A1 - Paggi, Marco A1 - Carpinteri, Alberto KW - Cohesive crack model; Fatigue damage; Interface; Double cantilever beam AV - none TI - A cohesive crack model coupled with damage for interface fatigue problems SP - 91 ER -
