Welded joints are widely used in many sectors and represent the main joining technique
also in the marine industry. The welded joints are sites of high stress concentrations and are …

The main objective of this review paper is twofold: Recall the most captivating areas of
research in predicting the fatigue life of metals with the application of thermal methodology …

Although friction stir welding (FSW) has widely been applied to aluminum alloys in several
industries over the past three decades, it is not yet used in industry for joining of steels. The …

The primary focus of this study was the fracture mechanism of aluminum/steel laser-arc
welded-brazed joints under quasi-static tensile and dynamic fatigue conditions. Digital …

Fatigue properties are of fundamental importance and extremely time consuming to be
assessed. The aim of this research activity is to apply the Thermographic Method (TM) and …

A procedure to simulate the non-linear behavior of explosion welded joints used for
shipbuilding applications, starting only from hardness measurements, was developed. The …

This paper presents a local approach to analyze the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR)
through the characterization on the dissipative process of fatigue crack tip zone. An energy …
