Standard Test Methods (e.g. ASTM, DIN) for materials characterization in general, and for fatigue in particular, do not contemplate specimens with complex geometries, as well as the combination of axial and in-plane bending ...

It is well known that fatigue behaviour is an important parameter to be considered in mechanical components subjected to constant and variable amplitude loadings. In combination with corrosion phenomenon, fatigue effects ...

Failures in structural components due to cyclic loading are associated with materials surface damage. Coatings deposited by different surface processes are more or less effective to improve the degradation resistance of ...

Fiber reinforced polymer composites have been widely applied in the aeronautical field. However, composite processing, which uses unlocked molds, should be avoided in view of the tight requirements and also due to possible ...

Low-cycle fatigue life of Grade 300E and 500E reinforcing bars including the effect of buckling is evaluated. Low-cycle fatigue tests are carried out on un-machined specimens subjected to constant axial strain loading with ...

The aim of the present work is to identify an environmentally clean coating process that will present lower influence in the Ti-6Al-4V fatigue strength. Axial fatigue tests of Ti-6Al-4V alloy TiN, CrN and WC:H (tungsten ...
