A novel strain-energy–density (SED) based fatigue criterion is here proposed to account for
the effect of mean stress and plasticity on the uniaxial fatigue strength of plain and notched …

In the history of fatigue study, the potentialities of strain energy density (SED) based
approaches were extensively discovered; however, there was limited usage in engineering …

In energy-based fatigue models, in addition to plastic strain energy density calculated from
area inside hysteresis loop, positive elastic energy is usually considered. In current elastic …

The effects of mechanical and microstructural anisotropy on short fatigue crack initiation and
propagation behaviors of a directionally solidified superalloy have been studied. An unusual …

Notched AM50 sheet metal specimens with four different stress concentration factors are
tested under quasi-static and cyclic uniaxial loading, and the results are analyzed and …

Energy parameter formed by multiplying the maximum strain range and the peak stress has
the problem that one value may correspond to multiple fatigue damage states. For this issue …

Due to their low density and high strength-to-weight-ratio magnesium alloys are very
attractive for lightweight construction. Especially creep-resistant magnesium alloys can also …

In this research paper the microstructure of the magnesium AZ31B alloy is investigated after
the application of a single monotonic compressive strain of− 0.4%. A band of twinned grains …

The fatigue strength of cast steel components is severely affected by manufacturing process-
based bulk and surface imperfections. As these defect structures possess an arbitrary spatial …

The molecular dynamics method was utilized in this study to investigate the dislocation
transfer mechanism at the atomic scale at basal and prismatic (BP) boundaries in …
