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 ...

Aramid fiber reinforced polymer composites have been used in a wide variety of applications, such as aerospace, marine, sporting equipment and in the defense sector, due to their outstanding properties at low density. The ...

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 ...

Fretting fatigue occurs when the contact surfaces of two components undergo small oscillatory movement while they are subjected to a clamping force. A cyclic external load gives rise to the early initiation of fatigue ...

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 ...

This paper deals with the prediction of high-cycle fatigue behaviour for four different materials (a 7075-T6 alloy, a Ti-6Al-4V alloy, JIS S10C steel and a 0.4%C steel) using Chapetti´s approach to estimate the fatigue-crack ...

Lean duplex stainless steels (LDSSs) with lower nickel and molybdenum are less susceptible to suffer spinodal decomposition than standard duplex stainless steels. It is the purpose of this work to study the effect of thermal ...
