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 …

Efforts to understand fatigue in materials generally rely on defining relationships between
the material response to fatigue loading and the evolving remaining material life portion …

An important objective of acoustic emission (AE) non-destructive monitoring is to accurately
identify approaching critical damage and to avoid premature failure by means of the …

Laser cladding technology uses a high-power laser beam to melt the substrate and metal
powder at high temperature to form a molten pool. Relying on the spontaneous cooling of …

The acoustic emission (AE) technique has become a well-established method of monitoring
structural health over recent years. The sensing and analysis of elastic AE waves, which …

Optimizing acoustic emission (AE) is useful to understand fatigue crack growth of metal
structures. Experimental investigation of fatigue in steel with an edge notch was performed …

Mechanical and acoustic properties, damage kinetics and fracture mechanisms of
30CrMnSiA structural steel under mixed loading modes (I+ II) have been investigated. It is …

This paper presents an investigation of assessment of fatigue crack growth (FCG) of 316LN
stainless steel using the acoustic emission (AE) monitoring technique. A new AE parameter …

Quantitative fractography has been hindered by the lack of tools capable of accurately
characterizing fracture modes and crack initiation locations. An easily implementable, non …

Ultrasonic fatigue testing (USFT) is an effective method for the rapid characterisation of the
high cycle fatigue properties of structural materials. However, the process of initiation and …
