Abstract AS7G06-T6 cast aluminum alloy is tested under tension fatigue loading for two load
ratios. After the quantification of the Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (SDAS) and grain size …

In the present study, the stress gradient modified critical distance method is proposed to
predict the low‐cycle fatigue lifetime of notched TA19 specimens by introducing a weight …

The influence of defects parameters (ie, size, shape and location) on early crack nucleation
in an A357-T6 cast aluminium alloy is studied by means of synchrotron in situ fatigue testing …

The paper discusses the stress gradient effect on crack initiation in fretting in medium cycle
fatigue. The stress gradient effect is highlighted through fretting experiments in partial slip …

This study aims to investigate the impact of the defects on the fatigue behavior of the
AlSi7Mg0. 6 alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) by considering uniaxial …

In this study, the effects of small surface defects and small cracks on the fatigue limit of
metallic materials were investigated. As a theoretical framework, the McEvily model was …

The current study presents methods to predict the governing crack initiation site and fatigue
crack initiation life of components with surface roughness. The surface topography is …

The influence of defects on the fatigue strength of a cast Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy has been
investigated. An experimental programme has been defined with different castings. On a first …

This paper compares the results of experimental fatigue life tests for two types of materials.
For each of them, fatigue tests taking into account both the size effect and stress or strain …

The fatigue design of metallic parts depends on the casting process. It requires a
compromise between the fatigue resistance of the component and the allowable defect size …
