Fatigue crack growth and damage of adhesive layer in a composite-patched aluminum plate with three dimensional inclined crack was simulated using Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). A Python script was developed to model fatigue crack growth using XFEM in ABAQUS environment. Three adhesive materials and five patch lay-up sequences were considered to investigate the size and shape of damaged (debonded) region in different configurations. The effect of including damage in adhesive layer on global response of the structure and 3D crack geometry in metallic structure was studied. The interaction between crack growth in bulk material and damage in adhesive layer was discussed. It was concluded that neglecting damage in adhesive layer results in 8.4 to 23.2 percent overestimated fatigue life for different sample configuration. Smoother crack geometry was obtained from damage-including models with respect to models that do not include damage. Crack front shape was also highly affected, despite the fact that the effect on crack trajectory was not significant. It was also observed that in specimens with lower final strength and high ductility adhesive, structural response is resulted from an interaction between damage in adhesive and crack growth in bulk material.

“…The numerical simulation of fatigue crack initiation can be realised by combining the XFEM model and the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) multiaxial fatigue damage criterion [14]. The numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation can be realised by the combination of the XFEM model and the Walker equation [15][16].…”

Steel structures are often subjected to cyclic loads, and sometimes to monotonic overloads, during the technical lifetime, which causes their performance degradation. Incidentally, they undergo progressive collapse, especially due to local failure of connections or joints. To ensure the overall integrity of the steel structures and to make sure the efficient transfer of the load between different components, it is necessary to evaluate the ultimate capacity and fatigue resistance of steel connections. Advances in material modelling and well‐controlled experiments at various scales in recent years have increased confidence in the finite element method as an effective way to predict the ultimate resistance and fatigue life. On examples of two common steel connections: bolted connection and welded connection, the recent progress will be presented in ductile fracture and fatigue crack initiation and propagation simulation.
