Undoubtedly, a better understanding and the further development of approaches for
damage tolerant component design of AM parts are among the most significant challenges …

According to the definition of the ASM handbook [[1],[3]], a defect is “an imperfection… that
can be shown to cause failure by a quantitative analysis and that would not have occurred in …

The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the
development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are …

This study presents a unique approach to understanding the biophysical mechanisms of
ultrasound-triggered cell membrane disruption (ie, sonoporation). We report direct …

In this article, the physical origin of fatigue crack initiation in ductile metals is discussed from
a historical perspective. The main focus is to assess those cyclic slip irreversibilities in a …

Welding is one of the most common methods in industrial practice for joining components. Its
main advantages are high speed in manufacturing combined with low costs and, usually, a …

The microstructural configurations that favor early strain localization and fatigue crack
initiation at intermediate and high temperature (400° C–650° C) have been investigated …

Fatigue crack initiation in high-angle grain boundaries is often observed experimentally,
however, its mechanism is a subject of controversy. Low cycle fatigue loading has been …

Abstract In this paper Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) specimens produced by
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) for biomedical field were studied. In particular, fatigue tests …

Common fracture mechanics based fatigue considerations are usually limited to the residual
lifetime determination of so-called long cracks. The extension of this concept to the total …
