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 ...

A bi-material waveguide is assumed to have an array of sufficiently long cracks parallel to the boundaries. The BlochÂFloquet waves propagating along such a waveguide are dispersive, and the band gaps are clearly identified. ...

This paper presents an experimental study on creep behavior of cracked Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC). To this end, a conventional strength concrete incorporating hooked-end steel fibers was used. In order to represent ...

This research aimed at comprehending the educational processes developed in relations amongst crack users, at social practice of crack use on public spaces. In this context, education is taken as an intersubjective ...

Fruit cracking is one of the major economic losses in cherry production worldwide. Factors involved in differential tolerance among varieties are unknown. This phenomenon is mainly caused by rainfall during the harvest ...

The objective of this work was to optimize the acid function and metallic function of a Pt-Pd/WO3-ZrO2 catalyst for isomerization-cracking of long paraffins. The calcination temperature and the W content were the preparation ...

Estimation of short crack propagation rates has proven to be a key factor in design and maintenance of metallic components subjected to loading conditions related to high cycle fatigue (HCF). Extrapolation of long crack ...
