Experimental Study on the Fatigue Behavior of Ti‐6Al‐4 V Bolted Joints Containing Burrs

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One‐way assembly accelerates aerospace manufacturing operations but risks leaving drilling burrs within mechanical joints. The detrimental impact of burrs on fatigue strength is widely recognized in the literature, but the mechanisms driving this “knock‐down” remain unclear. This investigation focused on mechanically fastened Ti‐6Al‐4 V single‐

Fatigue Life Evaluation Using the Damage‐Equivalent Strain for 7075‐T6 Aluminum Alloy Under Bending and Torsion Bending Vibrations

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vibrations caused by external factors (such as fluids) or internal factors often pose strength‐related problems in mechanical and structural components. Although several studies have investigated the material fatigue characteristics during vibration, reports on complex vibration modes such as torsion bending are limited.

Franco‐British Bilateral Diplomacy After Brexit, 2020–2025: Mending the Ties That Bind

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Brexit shook to its very core one of the European Union's (EU's) prominent partnerships, the Franco‐British bilateral relationship (FBBR), disrupting diplomatic routines and shattering interpersonal trust before circumstances changed and the relationship rapidly began to mend. In this article, we analyse the breakdown and restoration of Franco‐
