Determining the long-term corrosion fatigue strength of structural materials in service
conditions is one of the most significant problems of the design engineer. Synergistic …

The resistance to the short-crack growth and the observed threshold behavior of short cracks
are examined using the Unified Approach that is based on the two-parametric nature of …

Recent advances in the processing technology are permitting the manufacture of novel
metallic materials with superior fatigue properties via microstructure tailoring. In the light of …

This study focuses on the microstructure, tensile and fatigue properties of laser beam
welded butt joints in 4 mm thick sheets of duplex stainless steel 2205. The microstructural …

The influence of hydrostatic simulation on early-stage high-pH stress corrosion crack growth
of X65 pipeline steel was investigated. Results revealed that the initiation of microcracks in …

Investigation on the cyclic response of metallic materials in very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) is
a challenging problem, which hinders the development of fatigue theories. To overcome this …

In this study, the relationship between fatigue life and the feature parameters of fatigue
fracture surfaces was statistically analyzed to successfully develop a new fatigue life …

Fatigue failure of high strength steels mostly originates at nonmetallic inclusions. An
optically dark area (ODA) beside the inclusion can be observed in specimens fractured at …
