Additive manufacturing of industrially-relevant high-performance parts and products is today
a reality, especially for metal additive manufacturing technologies. The design complexity …

Wind, as a sustainable and affordable energy source, represents a strong alternative to
traditional energy sources. However, wind power is only one of the options, together with …

Structural integrity assessments with discontinuities are critical for ensuring operational life
and reliability of engineering components. In this work, through combining with the …

Notch fatigue analysis is vital for structural integrity design, while efficient fatigue models
coupling notch and size effect are still lacking, which are highly desired for fatigue design of …

Under external loadings, notched components always show varying degrees of stress
concentration. Accordingly, different kinds of approaches have been presented to …

Fatigue performances of critical structures are strongly affected by the microstructural (eg
grain, defect, inclusion, etc.) size effect, and it is thus important to quantify their detrimental …

Purpose Engineering components/structures with geometric discontinuities normally bear
complex and variable loads, which lead to a multiaxial and random/variable amplitude …

Probabilistic combined cycle fatigue (CCF) damage evaluation involves complex large-scale
simulations of low cycle fatigue (LCF) damage, high cycle fatigue (HCF) damage and …

The extrusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) is currently the most common there-
dimensional (3D) printing for the fabrication of polymer components. In this study, the …

Structural components with different scales normally show different fatigue behaviors, which
are virtually dominated by defects originated from multiple sources, including manufacturing …
