Engineering structures are often subjected to the conditions of cyclic-loading, which onsets
material fatigue, detrimentally affecting the service-life and damage tolerance of components …

Recent developments in engineering and technology have brought about serious and
enlarged demands for reliability, safety and economy in wide range of fields such as …

The mechanical joining technique clinching is often used in order to realize components of
different complexity with numerous connection points. For the holistic prognosis of the …

This book is an attempt to provide a uni? ed methodology to derive models for fatigue life.
This includes SN,?-N and crack propagation models. This is not a conventional book aimed …

A series of ultrasonic vibration tests are performed on A656 grade steel samples, at a
frequency of 20 kHz. A fatigue life model based on the unified mechanics theory is …

In this paper, we have developed a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based
methodology for high cycle fatigue crack growth simulations. A fatigue damage law is …

It is proposed to develop and identify a probabilistic two‐scale model for HCF that accounts
for the failure of samples, but also for the thermal effects during cyclic loadings in a unified …

Fatigue lives of rolling element bearings exhibit a wide scatter due to the statistical nature of
the rolling contact fatigue failure process. Empirical life models that account for this …

Fatigue life prediction of metals has been widely studied. However, most of the research is
based on empirical models under the framework of Newtonian mechanics, that relies on …

The fatigue limit of a high strength steel (GCr15) with two strength levels (2372 MPa and
1044 MPa) was evaluated in terms of energy dissipation during high-cycle fatigue (HCF) …
