issues in the world. In order to reduce carbon emissions and save our environment …

The welding of steel generates substantial welding residual stress (WRS), which exerts a
significant impact on the fatigue life of steel bridges. In this study, a physical model for …

In order to more accurately understand and predict the fatigue crack growth behavior in
welded structures, a fatigue crack tip field model considering residual stress and plasticity …

Rapid deterioration of critical rail components due to wear and fatigue is a significant
challenge faced by the railway industry. Laser cladding has been applied to straight and …

The local electrochemical and corrosion fatigue cracking behavior of the weld joint of
Q690qE high-strength bridge steel was investigated in simulated marine environment. It …

Taking a compressor impeller with a pressure ratio less than 3 as the research object, the
influence of 3D printing on the fatigue crack propagation life of the compressor impeller is …

This study predicts the fatigue performance of welded joints through a multiscale modelling
strategy accounting for material and structural inhomogeneities. An SN curve and detailed …

Rail steels that are extensively exposed to the humid natural environment increasingly
experience corrosion fatigue, emerging as a potential and hazardous failure mode. This …

The damage tolerance life calculation can accurately assess the remaining life of fatigue
cracks. However, when the spatial parameters vary randomly, it is difficult to evaluate and …

Flash− butt welded rail is widely used in railway transportation; however, the welded joint is
vulnerable after a long time of service, and its damage mechanism is controversial. Here …
