The mean stress effect plays an important role in the fatigue life predictions, its influence
significantly changes high-cycle fatigue behaviour, directly decreasing the fatigue limit with …

This paper deals with the reformulation of the Modified Wöhler Curve Method to make it
suitable for being used along with nominal stresses to design notched components against …

The paper deals with the multi‐axial fatigue strength of notched specimens made of
39NiCrMo3 hardened and tempered steel. Circumferentially V‐notched specimens were …

The use of fracture mechanics based methodologies to assess the influence of defects on
the high cycle fatigue resistance of mechanical components has become increasingly …

A general methodology is proposed in this paper for fatigue life prediction using crack
growth analysis. Part I of the paper focuses on the fatigue life prediction for smooth and …

This paper deals with the problem of estimating notch fatigue limits via machine learning.
The proposed strategy is based on those constitutive elements that were used by the …

The paper addresses the estimation of the fatigue limit of components weakened either by U-
and V-shaped notches or by defects, all under mode I stress distributions. When the …

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the material fatigue properties for assessing
real mechanical components. Initially, some practical rules are proposed to estimate the fully …

Mechanical components have stress risers, such as notchs, corners, welding toes and holes.
These geometries cause stress concentrations in the component and reduce the fatigue …

Fatigue strength assessment of large-scale structures and components is usually performed
on the basis of experimental results from small-scale specimens. A proper transfer from …
