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

The fatigue strength of a component is known to highly depend on its surface quality, and it
is thus necessary to develop a reliable and appropriate mathematical model for fatigue …

In this study, an analytical model based on Hertzian contact theory and the Neuber plasticity
rule is established to predict the residual stresses generated by laser shock peening (LSP) …

Ratcheting deformation in association with bulk texture evolution in HSLA steel is studied in
this investigation. The cyclic deformation behaviors and damage modes of the specimens …

In this paper, an improved stress field intensity approach is proposed for fatigue life
prediction of compressor disk. The underlying physical mechanism of notched component is …

Modeling of material behaviour under strain-controlled and stress-controlled loading for
cyclically stable materials (CSMs) is generally done using kinematic hardening, neglecting …

In this paper, the distinction between material ratchetting and structural ratchetting is
clarified, and the concept of constant life diagram is extended to depict low cycle fatigue life …

The present study evaluates the ratcheting response at notch roots of 1045 steel specimens
experiencing uniaxial asymmetric fatigue cycles. Local stress and strain components at the …

In this paper, ratcheting behavior of intact and corroded 90o elbow pipe specimens of A234
WPB steel is investigated at intrados, crown, and extrados positions. A special fixture was …

Experimental study consisting of both uniaxial and biaxial stress-controlled cyclic tests was
performed to investigate the ratcheting behaviour of new flash butt welds in a heat-treated …
