Damage accumulation / Crack growth rate

Submitted by altamimi on

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm trying to develop a crack growth model of two interacting, neighboring, cracks in carbon steel materials. However, I was wondering if I have to take into consideration damage accumilation as I'm doing "CRACK GROWTH RATE" not crack growth. 

 

any input is highly appreciated, 

thank you,
