Predicting fatigue crack growth in metals under random loadings remains difficult since fatigue crack growth is very sensitive to load history. Load history effect in fatigue is known for decades to stem from plastic deformation in the vicinity of the crack tip. Moreover, history effects in fatigue are closely related to the elastic-plastic behaviour of the material [
