This paper reviews previous research by the author in the field of hydrogen effects on
progressively cold-drawn pearlitic steels in terms of hydrogen degradation (HD), hydrogen …

Rib-to-deck joints of orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) in steel bridges are susceptible to
longitudinal fatigue cracking, which often results in considerable repair costs as well as …

Ductile fracture preceding brittle fracture was observed in welded steel moment resisting
frames during past strong earthquakes. Studies on ductile fracture were mainly focused on …

In this paper the evolution of diverse residual stress states (similar to the ones produced
after a cold drawing process) during several fatigue loading schemes is analysed. Thus …

In this paper a study is presented of the tensile fracture behavior of progressively-drawn
pearlitic steels obtained from five different cold-drawing chains, including each drawing step …

Rib‐to‐diaphragm welded details of orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) are susceptible to
fatigue cracking. To deal with such cracking problem, a strengthening method using …

Prestressing steel wires usually undergo cyclic loading in service. Therefore, it is of interest
to analyse certain features of their mechanical behaviour under this type of loading, such as …

In this paper the important role of manufacturing by progressive cold drawing on initiation
and propagation of fatigue cracks in cold-drawn pearlitic steel wires is addressed by …

This article studies the retardation effect in plasticity-induced fatigue crack growth rate for a
low-medium strength steel, due to the appearance of microdeflections in the crack path. To …

This paper presents a process condition diagram (PCD) that not only identifies conditions
under which materials fracture during bar drawing, but also infers the presence or absence …
