N2 - Fatigue life estimation for planar cracks, e.g. part-through surface cracks or embedded cracks is very important because most of fatigue cracks found in welded built-up structures show planar crack morphologies. Fatigue crack growth behaviour of an embedded crack in welded joints is investigated in this study. The estimation procedure of crack shape evolution for an embedded crack is introduced and validation of the estimation procedure of fatigue crack growth based on the numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth with EDS concept for an embedded crack is performed. The validity of the proposed shape evolution estimation method and the fatigue crack growth simulation based on the fracture mechanics approach with EDS concept are confirmed.
