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 ...

The worldwide tendency of railways is the high load per wagon in cargo transport and high speed in the passenger sector. In both situation the wheel is strongly required, especially in respect of fatigue, which have being ...

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 ...

The notch sensitivity of three steels with similar plain fatigue limits was analysed and modelled. The analysis was made by using a model previously derived which estimated the fatigue limit of blunt notched components by ...

Shot peening is a method widely used to improve the fatigue strength of materials. through the creation of a compressive residual stress field (CRSF) in their surface layers. In the present research the gain in fatigue ...
