A vast amount of research has been carried out towards the goal of quantifying changes
related to the fatigue damaging process in materials throughout the fatigue life. However, no …

When subjected to alternating stress, a large variety of metallic materials display the
capacity to absorb enormous amounts of cumulative strain before they finally fail …

This book reviews problems in the mechanical behaviour of cyclically loaded metallic
materials, primarily with regard to the nature of the fatigue process. The first edition of the …

Based on recent experimental observations a realistic model of the evolution of the surface
profile of persistent slip bands (PSBs) in fatigued metals is proposed. An essential feature of …

The localization of plastic strain into macroscopic groups of persistent slip bands has been
determined on copper single crystals strain-cycled into saturation. The macroscopic bands …

This work reviews and critically discusses the current understanding of two scaling laws,
which are ubiquitous in the modeling of monotonic plastic deformation in face-centered …

The aim of the present work is to assess in a formal manner “effective” values of the
geometrical factor α which takes into account the arrangement of the dislocation pattern in …

Abstract Analysis of inhomogeneous cyclic straining, observation of surface relief at
emerging persistent slip bands (PSBs) and data on point defect generation and migration in …

The effects of pre-deformation on the precipitation behaviors and properties in Cu-Ni-Si-Cr
alloy were investigated. The results showed the electrical conductivity and the strength of the …
