Fatigue Measurements in an Existing Highway Concrete Bridge
Knowing the actual fatigue effects helps to assess the structural safety of bridges more accurately. Especially when the actions change or increase, it is important to be able to determine this.

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of wind and wake characteristics on wind turbine loads in a small wind farm [PDF]
Wind turbines are designed using a set of simulations to determine the fatigue and ultimate loads, which are typically focused solely on unwaked wind turbine operation. These structural loads can be significantly influenced by the wind inflow conditions.

SummaryTendon injuries, often called tendinopathies, are debilitating and painful conditions, generally considered to develop as a result of tendon overuse. The aetiology of tendinopathy remains poorly understood, and whilst tendon biopsies have provided some information concerning tendon appearance in late‐stage disease, there is still little ...

Effect of nonlinear slamming loads on the fatigue damage of a ship with large flare
[Objectives] The traditional spectral fatigue analysis method only considers the effect of linear wave loads on fatigue life. For ships with large flare,how to reckon in the effect of nonlinear slamming loads is to be a difficulty in fatigue life ...

Fatigue Damage Evaluation of Pile-Supported Bridges under Stochastic Ice Loads
The Bohai Sea is the sea area with the worst ice condition in China, and the ice loads significantly threaten the safety of structures in the sea. The intense vibrations of the pile-supported bridge under stochastic ice loads will increase the fatigue ...

Computer simulation of fatigue under diametrical compression [PDF]
We study the fatigue fracture of disordered materials by means of computer simulations of a discrete element model. We extend a two-dimensional fracture model to capture the microscopic mechanisms relevant for fatigue, and we simulate the diametric ...

Fatigue delamination behaviour of unidirectional carbon fibre/epoxy laminates reinforced by Z-Fiber® pinnin [PDF]
-Pin reinforced carbon-fibre epoxy laminates were tested under Mode I and Mode II conditions, both quasi-statically and in fatigue. Test procedures were adapted from existing standard or pre-standard tests. Samples containing 2% and 4% areal densities

Temporal scaling in fatigue life of materials and incorporation of temporal events in Paris’s law
Temporal scaling in mechanical strength of materials is vital for long-term effects such as fatigue. The fatigue crack length α is related to the change in the stress intensity factor ΔK by the omnipresent Paris’s law, which works well for cyclic fatigue
