In this study, a model of fatigue life estimative based on dynamic mechanical analysis and fatigue tests is validated. Storage modulus is the viscoelastic parameter which better correlate with fatigue resistance. Accordingly, ...

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 ...

This paper addresses the problem of high cycle fatigue resistance associated to notches and the role of short crack propagation in the fatigue notch sensitivity quantified by the notch factor. An integrated fracture mechanics ...

Residual stresses play an important role in the fatigue lives of structural engineering components. In the case of near surface tensile residual stresses, the initiation and propagation phases of fatigue process are ...

Residual stresses play an important role in the fatigue lives of structural engineering components. In the case of near surface tensile residual stresses, the initiation and propagation phases of fatigue process are ...

We aimed to quantify fatigue frequency and evolution in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and to correlate fatigue with factors such as age, sex, educational level, disease duration, functionality, quality of life, ...

Muscle fatigue causes motor adjustments in functional activities, including locomotion. Fatigue development is mediated by a range of individual factors such as the presence of pathologies, age, physical activity level, ...

Current fracture mechanics methods for fatigue assessment, including those that consider thresholds for crack propagation, are based on long crack behaviour. The present work is concerned with an attempt to predict the ...

Background: Fatigue ranks among the most common and disabling symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent theoretical works have surmised that this trait might be related to alterations across interoceptive mechanisms. ...

The stride before landing may be important during stepping down. The aim of this study was to analyze variability of the kinematics and muscle activity in the final stride before stepping down a curb, with and without ankle ...
