In this paper the fatigue damage accumulation under block program loading is investigated. Alternative flexion bending fatigue tests with a single change in stress amplitude are performed at room temperature for step-down ...

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 ...

In this study, a model of fatigue life estimative based on dynamic mechanical analysis and fatigue tests is validated. Storage modulus is the viscoelastic parameter which better correlate with fatigue resistance. Accordingly, ...

The purpose of this study was to identify the Electromyographic Fatigue Threshold (EMG FT) of the biceps brachii muscle bilaterally during the elbow flexion in tests performed in different times: 30 second test, 1 minute ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
