Abstract 3D imaging has become popular for analyzing material microstructures. When time
lapse series of 3D pictures are acquired during a single experiment, it is possible to …

Piezoelectric material transducers can work as an actuator or sensor. Generally, the actuator
will be used to repair the structure, and the sensor will be used to find the health condition. In …

Fatigue failure is one of the main causes of structural failure. Fatigue failure mechanism
signifies a critical research issue for better design of the joined parts to enhance endurance …

This paper presents a combined experimental‐numerical technique for the calculation of the
J‐integral as an area integral in cracked specimens. The proposed technique is based on …

Notched semi-circular bend (NSCB) specimen has been successfully used in fracture tests
of brittle materials. As a suggested method for measuring the dynamic fracture toughness of …

DIC-based identification of the constitutive parameters of an elastoplastic law is addressed
both from a general viewpoint, and applied to the particular case of dog-bone sample made …

The occurrence of fatigue cracks is an inherent part of the design of engineering structures
subjected to nonconstant loads. Thus, the accurate description of cracks in terms of location …

Fretting fatigue can significantly reduce the life of components, leading to unexpected in-
service failures. This phenomenon has been studied for over a century, with significant …

The assessment of cracks in civil infrastructures commonly relies on visual inspections
carried out at night, resulting in limited inspection time and an increased risk of crack …

According to the climate crisis, offshore wind turbines can play an important role to improve
the green energy sector. Due to the rough and stochastic metocean environment, the fatigue …
