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 ...

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 ...

The influence of defect on fatigue resistance of components is carried out by using a propagation threshold approach to estimate the high cycle fatigue resistance of components from data of intrinsic properties of the ...

Interlaminar shear stresses have an important role in behavior of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Low interlaminar shear strength in the crack bridging mechanism of these materials is considered beneficial because produces ...

This article reports on the experimental characterization of the fatigue behavior of GLARE laminate taking into account the hygrothermal effects. The environmental factors can limit the applications of composites by ...
