Notch features including holes, fillets, shoulders, and grooves commonly exist in
engineering components. When subjected to external loads, these geometrical …

Under external loadings, notched components always show varying degrees of stress
concentration. Accordingly, different kinds of approaches have been presented to …

Structural integrity assessments with discontinuities are critical for ensuring operational life
and reliability of engineering components. In this work, through combining with the …

Turbine bladed disks normally operate under complex loadings coupling with uncertainties
originate from multiple sources, including material variability, load variation and geometrical …

Notch and size effects generally show great influence on the fatigue behavior of engineering
structures, which plays a vital role during their structural integrity and reliability evaluations …

Combinations of geometric discontinuities and multiaxial loads appear commonly in
engineering components, which raise both stress gradient and multiaxial stress states near …

Engineering components made of ductile cast irons and aluminum alloys, show fatigue lives
which are normally dominated by crack initiation from defects raised by manufacturing …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of variable amplitude service loading
conditions and wear phenomenon on reliability analysis for rail steel. For this purpose, the …

Notch features often raise critical influences on fatigue lives of engineering components,
which deserve particular attentions for ensuring their structural integrity and reliability. The …

Fatigue life prediction of materials can be modeled by deterministic relations, via mean or
median SN curve approximation. However, in engineering design, it is essential to consider …
