Plate thickness can have a profound effect on fatigue crack growth following theapplication of an overload cycle. A modified strip-yield model is presented for determining the effects of plate thickness based on the mechanism of plasticity-induced crack closure and first-order plate theory. This approach eliminates the need for any empirical or fitting parameters. Comparisons are made with experimental data for the case of a single tensile overload applied under otherwise constant. Delta K loading. The theoretical crack growthpredictions are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
