Outline of Research at the Start

Multiple cracks could accelerate crack growth and reduce fatigue lives compared to a single crack. However, there are no effective methods to predict the entire fatigue process considering multiple cracks. We aims to propose a strategy to predict fatigue behaviours considering multiple crack initiation and coalescence based on multiscale simulations. The mechanisms of multiple microcracks transiting into a single macroscopic crack will be elucidated. It will provide a new perspective for evaluating the fatigue strength of steel to ensure the long-term safety of engineering structures.
