MODELLING OF STRESS GRADIENT EFFECT ON FATIGUE LIFE USING WEIBULL BASED DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the present paper, a new approach is developed in order to take into account the stress gradient effect on fatigue life of structural components. The proposed approach is based on the weakest link concept in which the shape coefficient of the Weibull ...

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Mechanical stability in flexible perovskite solar cells: Interface engineering and device design

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Statistics of the improvement methods for f‐PSCs. Abstract Flexible perovskite solar cells (f‐PSCs) demonstrate significant potential for application in next‐generation wearable electronic devices and photovoltaic building integration due to their high power conversion efficiency and excellent power‐to‐weight ratio. However, the inherent brittleness of

Functional fatigue in NiTi shape memory alloy wires - A comparative study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The functional fatigue behaviour of two near equi-atomic NiTi shape memory alloy wires obtained from different sources were evaluated. Results showed that though the wires had similar transformation temperatures and mechanical properties, their ...

Ameliorating Linguistic Anchors of Oppression

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The words we use to represent the world shape how we interpret and respond to it; language frames what it represents. In some cases, these frames can have prejudicial effects; for example, ‘workplace flirting’ versus ‘sexual harassment’. This article examines how specific words and phrases (i.e.

Failure Investigation of Alloy 625 Sockolets After Prolonged Service in an Ammonia Cracker Unit

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The failure of the sockolets was caused by intergranular cracking and fracture. The thick and highly brittle nitrided layer formed intergranular surface cracks, which propagated along grain boundaries into the base alloy substrate due to the presence of brittle Cr‐rich carbides. ABSTRACT Several sockolets of Alloy 625 operating at 540°C in contact with

Fracture of the Passive Film on Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Under Mechanical Loading

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Bending load induces a flexural crack in reinforced concrete specimen. Above the critical load inducing crack, a macro cell corrosion current is recorded by steel coupons embedded in the concrete. The macro cell current corresponds to the rupture of the passive film. ABSTRACT This study investigates the fracture of the passive film on reinforcing steel
