Since aviation sector equipment has evolved to very long-life application conditions, critical
components and structures are regularly subjected to complex environments and applied …

Ever since high-strength steels were found to fail below the traditional fatigue limit when
loaded with more than 10 8 cycles, the investigation of metals' and alloys' very high cycle …

The present paper deals with a procedure to measure the very small quantities of heat
generated during the very first cycles of mechanical loading on metallic specimens. A …

The fine granular area (FGA) plays a crucial role in the VHCF regime. However, so far, the
uniform understanding or conclusion about the formation mechanism of FGA has not been …

Titanium alloys are increasingly used for structural applications in transportation
engineering (aerospace, automotive, railway, marine industry) because of their interesting …

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) tests on metastable austenitic stainless steels using an
ultrasonic fatigue testing (USFT) system are challenging due to the transient material …

The need for very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) testing up to 1010 cycles of aviation gas turbine
engine blade materials under combined mechanical loads and complex environments has …

In the present investigation a full-surface view in situ thermography method is adapted to an
ultrasonic fatigue testing system. Full-surface view in situ thermography measurements were …

The present paper illustrates the application of infrared thermal measurements for the
investigation of crack initiation point and crack propagation in the high-cycle and the very …

Object of this paper is to emphasize some dissipative aspects of steels in high cycle fatigue
from the thermographic point of view by relating anelastic and microplastic behaviours to …
