The search for suitable materials for the transport industry, to meet more stringent regulations related to crashworthiness, emissions, and fuel economy led to the development of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). Thermal ...

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 ...

Structural engineers usually limit the use of HSC columns to seismic active zones because of their britle behavior in comparison with NSC, even though it presents advantages both in terms of mechanics and durability. A ...
