Fatigue improvement of rib-to-deck welded joints using adhesively bonded steel patches - LEFM-based parametric study [PDF]
Rib-to-deck welded joints in orthotropic steel decks of bridges are prone to develop fatigue cracks. Repairing such cracks allows for prolonging the life of the infrastructure, provided that structural safety is guaranteed.

Potentials and limitations in finite element based crack propagation analysis using FRANC3D [PDF]
About 80% to 95% of all structural failures occur due to a fatigue mechanism1. Accurate fatigue assessment is therefore of great importance. This thesis focuses on a finite element analysis based approach, implemented in the program FRANC3D, to ...

Neural networks for fatigue crack propagation predictions in real-time under uncertainty [PDF]
Crack propagation analyses are fundamental for all mechanical structures for which safety must be guaranteed, e. g. as for the aviation and aerospace fields. The estimation of life for structures in presence of defects is a process inevitably affected by
