Based on energy approach in the mechanics of fracture, the calculation model of fatigue macrocrack propagation in three-dimensional elastoplastic body is constructed for the case of Ⅰ + Ⅲ mixed-mode of fracture macromechanism. Subcritical period of fatigue macrocrack growth, which corresponds to residual lifetime of metalware element with a crack under external cyclic loading, can be determined using the obtained kinetic equation. The kinetic equation of the model contains only two experimental constants of the material, which are determined from tests on cyclic fatigue. The proposed calculation model can be used for development of techniques of residual lifetime estimation of metallic structural elements with fatigue cracks grown according to Ⅰ + Ⅲ mixed-mode of fracture macromechanism.
Key words: fatigue cracks, residual lifetime, mixed-mode of fatigue fracture, plastic zone, fracture energy.
