An overview of the state of the art of computational fracture mechanics is presented, starting
from early efforts and going all the way up to recent achievements. Some specific aspects of …

Risk assessment procedure based on structural integrity and life estimation has been
introduced and applied to oil drilling rig welded pipe. The new concept based on application …

The current paper reports the results of a series of high cycle fatigue (HCF) experiments on
steel welded T-joints, tested under constant amplitude three-point bending. The eXtended …

Fracture mechanics parameters are used for experimental, numerical and analytical risk
assessment of structural integrity and life of oil drilling rig welded pipe with a crack. As a …

The torque link is part of the nose landing gear of aircraft. It prevents the piston from turning
inside the cylinder of the shock absorber, enabling its up and down motion during the …

In this paper, numerical analyses of fatigue crack growth in integral skin-stringer panel
produced by means of laser beam welding (LBW) are presented along with fatigue results …

Fatigue crack growth in different panels, made of AA6156 T6, was investigated
experimentally and numerically. Three different types of panels were used, simple one, so …

Fatigue crack growth through different welded joint regions was investigated, in terms of
welded joint geometry and fatigue crack position. In the first phase of investigation …

Different cracks paths in three different wing spar designs are analysed (differential, integral
and optimized integral) to explore how those cracks paths affect fatigue life estimation. First …

Failures of rotating equipment often cause severe consequences, so it is necessary to study
their integrity and life as detailed as possible, especially when crack is detected. In the case …
