Microstructural and Fractographic Characterization of a Thermally Embrittled Nuclear Grade Steel: Part I - Annealing

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2002
A nuclear reactor pressure vessel steel was submitted to different annealing heat treatments aimed at simulating neutron irradiation damage. The obtained microstructures were mechanically tested with subsequent metallographic and fractographic ...

Impact of Fiber Treatments on the Properties and Aging Behavior of a Bio‐Composite Characterized From Nano‐ to Macro‐Scale

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 20, Page 18574-18586, 20 October 2026.
From Posidonia oceanica seagrass fibers to sustainable bio‐composites: the role of alkaline treatment in composite performance and durability. ABSTRACT The valorization of the abundant marine residue Posidonia oceanica (PO) fibers, as a filler in a bio‐based epoxy matrix was investigated.

AUTO-SHAPE ANALYSIS OF IMAGE TEXTURES IN FRACTOGRAPHY

open access: yesImage Analysis and Stereology, 2011
The aim of this study is to estimate the velocity of fatigue crack growth (crack growth rate - CGR) from the texture in SEM images of crack surfaces. A simple and quick method is based on fitting training images as a linear combination of several small ...

Nonwoven rCF/PA6 Thermoplastic Composites: Hybrid Commingled Fibers vs. Powder Impregnation—Effects on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 19, Page 17076-17090, 10 October 2026.
Comparison of powder impregnation and hybrid commingled non‐wovens for PA6/rCF nonwoven composites. The two‐step powder route gives lower voids and higher properties, while the single‐step hybrid route is limited by precursor inhomogeneity and high void content.

Fatigue life of high strength steel for cold forming

open access: yesMetalurgija, 2017
The article presents the results of fatigue tests carried out on STRENX-type high-strength cold forming steel. For high-cycle fatigue tests carried out using low cycle loading frequencies of around 30 Hz, a ROTOFLEX machine was used. For ultra high-cycle

Influence of 3D Printing Parameters on ULTEM 9085 Mechanical Properties Using Explainable Machine Learning

open access: yesSPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 4, October 2026.
An explainable machine‐learning framework predicts complete stress–strain behavior and key mechanical properties of FFF‐printed ULTEM 9085 from four printing parameters. Extra Trees delivered the most accurate and stable predictions, while SHAP and LIME clarified how each parameter influences material performance.

Fractography of Long Bones with High-Velocity Projectile Trauma

open access: yes, 2020
Previous studies of bone fractography have examined only cases of blunt trauma. Here we assess whether fracture surface features are also found on bones subjected to high-velocity projectile trauma. Civil War–era long bones were assessed for the presence

Relationship between microstructure and fracture types in a UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2013
Duplex stainless steels are susceptible to the formation of sigma phase at high temperature which could potentially be responsible for catastrophic service failure of components.

Tuning Grain Boundary Carbides via Solute Rare‐Earth Elements to Prevent Intergranular Brittle Fracture

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Carbides strengthen the grain boundaries; nevertheless, excessive carbide precipitates embrittle the grain boundaries of high‐temperature alloys during prolonged service. Here, we provide direct evidence of solute rare‐earth atoms and demonstrate that they can trap vacancies and inhibit interstitial diffusion, restraining carbide precipitation

Use of the helium ion microscope in small crack fractography

open access: yes, 2022
Highly stressed aerospace structures, such as the wing attachment points and load carry-through bulkheads of fighter aircraft, often grow fatigue cracks from micro-scale discontinuities.
