In this research, a novel approach of the fatigue crack growth rate description has been
proposed. Based on theoretical and experimental approach, the mean stress effect …

Within the framework of material configurational mechanics, an innovative fatigue model
based on configurational force is proposed to predict the mixed-mode fatigue crack …

To consider the effect of crack closure on the mechanical properties of metals, the fatigue life
of metal specimens is predicted based on energy dissipation model. The main feature of the …

The objective of this work is to establish pertinent criteria allowing an optimal alternative to
be chosen for calculating the inputs needed to make Run/Repair/Replace decisions and to …

In this paper, the problem of fatigue crack growth description under mixed mode loading
condition is discussed. A new ΔS* crack driving force is proposed for mixed-mode loading …

A scalar stochastic differential equation (SDE) is studied for modeling fatigue crack growth
dynamics. The drift and diffusion coefficients in the SDE model are exponential functions of …

Reliable evaluation of the fatigue crack growth rates in different kinds of specimen is
necessary for the design of engineering components working in fatigue-load conditions. In …

The paper presents a result of experimental tests of welded S355 specimens subjected to
combined bending and torsion loading. In order to analyse how the fillet joints' shape and …

La fatiga de materiales ha originado, según Zerbst [3], un registro del 80% y el 90% de
casos que involucran fallas estructurales y de componentes de máquinas durante muchos …

In engineering structural integrity assessment procedures such as BS7910, prior plastic
deformation during crack introduction is not taken into account when predicting the …
