This third part of the review on defects as root cause of fatigue failure addresses cavities
(pores, micro-shrinkages, unmelted regions), defective microstructures and microcracks as …

The low-temperature impact toughness of nodular cast iron can be significantly enhanced by
heat treatment, and thus meet the severe service requirements in the fields of high-speed …

The cylinder liner is regarded as the “ventricle” of the heart of the engine, and its
performance plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the engine. V was added to …

We develop a hierarchical model for the description of the stress state inside a cluster of
degenerated graphite in spheroidal cast iron. The model is based on the following …

A two-scale model for clusters of degenerated graphite in gray cast iron is presented. The
novelty of the model is that, at the mesoscale, a single cluster is described as a spheroidal …

We extend previous results for the stress analysis of a cluster of degenerated graphite in
spheroidal cast iron, modelled as a multiscale three-dimensional composite. At the …

We propose a multiscale three-dimensional model for the stress analysis of a cluster of
degenerated graphite in spheroidal cast iron. The model allows to study the effect of …

To take into account the weakening effect of defects clusters in real microstructures, we
propose a multiscale model in a twodimensional setting. At a small scale, single defects are …

I graduali e costanti miglioramenti delle tecnologie additive (AM) hanno reso possibile la
produzione di componenti sempre più leggeri e complessi, causando una rapidissima …
