Fatigue is one of the main causes of failures as well as mechanical fractures in structural details made of aluminium alloys under cyclic loading, where the materials (during the crack growth process) are subject to the ...

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 ...

In variable-amplitude loading there are interaction effects between the loading history and the crack propagation rate. The most important of these effects is the retardation in the crack propagation, which may raise the ...

The fatigue crack growth properties of friction stir welded joints of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy have been studied under constant load amplitude (increasing-Delta K), with special emphasis on the residual stress (inverse ...

The goals of our study were to calculate the subcritical crack growth (SCG) parameters of two veneering ceramics stored in water or Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm and remineralizing medium, with indentation flaws. ...

A major concern in laminated composites for structural applications has been crack nucleation between plies and its propagation through the interface. A better comprehension of stable crack propagation may lead to more ...
