Recent developments in engineering and technology have brought about serious and
enlarged demands for reliability, safety and economy in wide range of fields such as …

Fatigue life assessment of metal additive manufacturing (AM) products has remained
challenging due to the uncertainty of as–built defects, heterogeneity of the microstructure …

The mechanical joining technique clinching is often used in order to realize components of
different complexity with numerous connection points. For the holistic prognosis of the …

In the aerospace industry, more and more alloy parts with requirements of complex
geometry and light weight are fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) process, which has …

Abstract Common heavy-duty 20Cr2Ni4A gear steel is widely used in industrial systems, but
there are still problems with its use, such as materials processing issues and a short fatigue …

In this paper, a multi-scale damage mechanics method is proposed to predict fatigue life of
additive laser manufacturing structures of Ti-6Al-4V. A simplified meso model is established …

This paper discusses cyclic deformation and fatigue behaviours of stainless steel 304L and
aluminium 7075‐T6 under variable amplitude loading using strain‐controlled as well as …

A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) is developed to predict the progressive
fatigue damage with provision for stochastic distribution of material properties. Fatigue …

A series of biaxial High Cycle Fatigue tests at room temperature is performed to build up an
extensive and well-documented database. The testing specimen is a maltese cross thinned …

In the present paper a damage model for single crystal Ni-base superalloys is proposed that
integrates time-dependent and cyclic damage into a generally applicable time-incremental …
