This third part of the review on defects as root cause of fatigue failure addresses cavities
(pores, micro-shrinkages, unmelted regions), defective microstructures and microcracks as …

Scratches can significantly influence the fatigue performance of materials or structures even
with several hundred microns depth. In this study, the effect of scratch defects on the fatigue …

Aluminium alloys for the aerospace industry are often clad by roll-bonded aluminium to
improve corrosion resistance. The clad layer is of the order of 100μm in thickness and it is …

Experimental measurements and finite element simulations have been used to study the
effect of residual stresses on the nanoindentation response of an aerospace-grade …

Residual stresses and plastic deformation around scratches or scribe marks in ductile
materials can affect fatigue life. Scratches of the order of tens of microns may convert into …

Micro scratch with depth and width of micron expresses a significant influence on fatigue life.
However, little literature is available on modelling the effect of micro scratch on the fatigue …

In this work, we first review the previous work done on statistical nanoindentation by different
researchers, highlighting the main problems that have been found and possible proposed …

Clad and unclad 2024‐T351 aluminium alloy sheets, weakened by mechanically machined
scratches, were fatigued to investigate the effect of small surface damage, like scribe marks …

Al/Al–Mg/Al composite sheets were fabricated by roll cladding to investigate the evolution of
deformation texture through the thickness direction. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) …

Laser shock peening offers potential advantages over conventional peen technologies in
terms of the depth of the residual stresses that can be induced, and improvements in surface …
