The fatigue life of a component can be expressed as the sum of two segments of life:(a) the
number of loading cycles required to initiate a crack and (b) the number of cycles it takes that …

In this interpretive review, fatigue in metallic systems is considered primarily from the
perspective of interactions between the microstructure, the deformation mode and the …

The propagation of small cracks contributes to the majority of the fatigue lifetime for structural
components. Despite significant interest, criteria for the growth of small cracks, in terms of …

The synergistic combination of mechanical fatigue stresses and environmental agents acting
together can be more detrimental than that of the summation of the contributions of each …

A computational framework is presented to include the effects of grain size and morphology
in the crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) method for simulations of polycrystals. The …

Small crack propagation accounts for most of the fatigue life of engineering structures
subject to high cycle fatigue loading conditions. Determining the fatigue crack growth rate of …

Assessing the size of representative volume elements (RVEs) for fatigue-related
applications is challenging. A RVE relevant to random microstructure requires a volume of …

Cutting-Edge Techniques to Better Analyze and Predict Complex Physical Phenomena
Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation from Scanned Images shows how to integrate …

The remaining fatigue life for aluminum aerospace alloys is greatly reduced by the presence
of corrosion damage; prediction of this deleterious influence via standard fracture mechanics …

Two competing failure modes, namely inclusion-and matrix-driven failures, are studied in a
Ni-base superalloy, RR1000, subjected to fatigue loading using crystal plasticity finite …
