The accumulation of plastic strains in the crossing, the build-up of residual stresses and the geometric adaption of the crossing to the loads is studied for 81 load cycles. The contact pressures, shear stresses and residual stresses of the impact model with the adapted geometries of the 81st cycle are applied to a two-dimensional model with a surface crack (crack model).
