A vast amount of research has been carried out towards the goal of quantifying changes
related to the fatigue damaging process in materials throughout the fatigue life. However, no …

AISI 321 steels used as heat exchange tube are generally subjected to creep-fatigue
exposure during service. Assessing their remnant properties is therefore required to ensure …

This paper investigates the residual strength of Q690 high-strength steel previously
damaged by fatigue. Pre-fatigue damage was induced by subjecting the specimens to nine …

Determining the fatigue behaviour of metallic materials using standardised testing methods
is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, several methods have been proposed to shorten …

The degradation of tensile and creep properties is inevitable during high temperature
service operation. Hence this work aims to evaluate the effect of prior creep-fatigue …

The alteration of material tensile properties is inevitable after material subjects to irreversible
damage. This paper is devoted to quantify the influence of pre-fatigue damage on the …

High temperature has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of steel structural
members, which can develop a potential collapse. Currently, various studies have been …

Fatigue damages are commonly observed in the in-service steel components and
progressive deterioration in their mechanical behavior is triggered with increasing service …

A sustainable future requires products to be recyclable. An important process in recycling is
shredding where materials joined in multi-material structures are liberated or detached. Until …

Steel stiffeners can be utilized to reinforce the welded hollow section K-joints, possibly
bringing about a different magnitude and distribution of hot spot stress from the traditional …
