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 ...

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 ...

Fatigue crack initiation occurs at the surface, although sub surface nucleation has also been reported. Localized imperfections like inclusions close to surface and surface small pits can result in crack sources. Coatings ...

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 ...

This work provides a numerical and experimental investigation of fatigue crack growth behavior in steel weldments including crack closure effects and their coupled interaction with weld strength mismatch. A central ...

Background: Recent researches involving fatigue and Parkinson’s disease (PD) sought to verify its incidence and the impacts of fatigue on quality life of patients with PD. Despite the importance of regular physical activity ...

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 ...
