This study focuses on the characterization of the roughness of the fracture surfaces of spheroidal graphite irons of different matrix microstructures, generated under impact, bending and fatigue loading conditions. The ...

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This work addresses the problem of parameter inference in the Cox-Boolean discrete fracture network model, in which the fractures are represented by flat discs with random orientations and diameters ...

This work aims at evaluating the fracture surfaces of tensile samples taken from a new kind of ductile iron referred to as ‘dual-phase Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI)’, a material composed of ausferrite (regular ADI ...

A method has been developed to obtain quantitative information about grain size and shape from fractured surfaces of ceramic materials. One elaborated a routine to split intergranular and transgranular grains facets of ...

In this study, fracture surfaces of pearlitic ductile iron generated under impact, bending and fatigue tests were characterized and compared. The fracture mechanisms in each case were identified from the observation of SEM ...

This work is a continuation of the studies presented in a recent paper by the authors, where the fracture surfaces of pearlitic ductile cast iron under different loading conditions were exhaustively analyzed. In this study, ...

This work aims to apply a sensitivity analysis to determine the influence of natural fractures in a cross section of rock reservoir cell, assessing the equivalent permeability of the medium. Using finite elements with high ...
