Fatigue thresholds of precracked specimens predicted by modified strip-yield model for plasticity-induced crack closure

•The effects of precrack lengths and material yield stress on crack closure development are examined.•A new master curve equation is proposed for the cyclic R-curve.•The fatigue thresholds of materials with defects are successfully derived. A strip-yield model modified to leave plastically deformed...
