Thermal transformations on microalloyed steels can produce multiphase microstructures with different amounts of ferrite, martensite, bainite and retained austenite. These different phases, with distinct morphologies, are ...

This paper aims to contribute to the three-dimensional generalization of numerical prediction of crack propagation through the formulation of finite elements with embedded discontinuities. The analysis of crack propagation ...

In this paper a general procedure for the analysis of three-dimensional multiple fatigue crack growth is presented. The crack propagation is simulated using an incremental crack extension analysis based on the strain energy ...

Two FCC catalyst prototypes were prepared using Y zeolite with different intracrystalline mesoporosity, which were used in the cracking of n-hexadecane (batch fluidized bed reactor, reaction time 4 s, temperatures 500 and ...

The influence of half-ellipse-shaped fatigue cracks and machined through-thickness cuts on the impact response of cantilever beam samples were analysed using the Finite Element Method and compared to experimental data for ...

The aluminum alloy 2524 (Al-Cu-Mg) was developed during the 90s mainly to be employed in aircraft fuselage panels, replacing the standard Al 2024. In the present analysis the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of 2524-T3 ...
