Fatigue is a classic and longstanding issue, which challenges railway axles' structural
integrity. In spite of its almost 200 years of research history, it has always been a hot topic …

Through a combination of mechanical stresses and corrosive environments, a material's
performance may be hindered by the complex evolution of damage due to stress corrosion …

Support structures for offshore wind turbines and the corresponding transformer platforms
are highly susceptible to corrosion. In particular, the phenomenon of pitting is crucial, as it …

Supporting structures for offshore wind turbines and the appropriate transformer platforms
are highly susceptible to corrosion. Especially the phenomenon of pitting corrosion is very …

The geometric morphology of pits induced by corrosion has been investigated. To this aim,
twenty-four seven-wire strands coming from 10 years old naturally corroded prestressed …

Corrosion can significantly reduce fatigue resistance of steel constructions including
offshore support structures. This can be attributed to either localized stress concentration …

The stay cable composed of high-strength steel wires is susceptible to external corrosion
during service, and multiple pitting damage will occur on the surface of steel wires. For the …

High-speed railway axles are seriously threaten by external flying objects. Foreign object
damage (FOD) on 25CrMo4 or EA4T axle steel specimens was then prepared by a …

This paper aims to investigate the effect of pitting corrosion on stress concentration factor
(SCF) for a spherical pressure vessel subjected to internal pressure. Stress concentration at …

In this study, transmission electron microscopy and 3D optical profilometer were employed
to investigate the effects of single-stage ageing and regression re-ageing treatments on the …
