An iterative process for the estimation of a fatigue crack front based on linear elastic fracture mechanics using values of the stress singularity exponent is presented. Based on the assumption of a constant stress singularity exponent along the crack front, a numerical approach leading to crack shape determination is suggested and applied. The crack front was approximated by a spline curve. In each node defining the crack front the stress singularity exponent was estimated and a complete crack front shape was found. The difference between thin and thick specimens is then described and discussed. The approach presented leads to better estimation of the crack front shape for structures with different thicknesses and a more accurate determination of fatigue crack fracture parameters. The results presented can be helpful for a better understanding of fatigue failure and more reliable prediction of residual lifetime.
