Abstract
A three-dimensional finite element closure model was developed for a corner crack emanating from a hole. Finite element analysis gives the displacement of each node around the crack for which the opening and closure load were evaluated. The fatigue crack closure stress levels from the finite element analysis were compared with the experimental results giving a good agreement.
