Analysis of Plasticity-induced Crack Closure of Fatigue Crack Interacting with Microstructure.
The propagation behavior of small fatigue cracks was numerically simulated to evaluate the development of crack closure with crack growth. The effect of the interaction between crack-tip slip band and grain boundaries on plasticity-induced crack closure was analyzed under plane stress condition.

Hydrogen-Accelerated Fatigue of API X60 Pipeline Steel and Its Weld
In this work, the hydrogen fatigue of pipeline steel X60, its girth welds and weld defects were investigated through in situ fatigue testing. A novel in situ gaseous hydrogen charging fatigue set-up was developed, which involves a sample geometry that ...

Numerical Modelling of Roughness and Plasticity Induced Crack Closure Effects in Fatigue [PDF]
The incidence of roughness induced fatigue crack closure has been studied by finite element modelling. Closure analyses in the literature have been reviewed and been shown to lack a reasonable treatment of: (a) propagating elastic-plastic cracks, and (b) the influence of the characteristically inhomogeneous plastic deformation associated with near ...

The effect of grain size on the fatigue overload behaviour of nickel
The fatigue overload behaviours of coarse grain (~30 μm), ultrafine grain (360 nm) and nanocrystalline (~30 nm) Ni are compared under constant amplitude loading at R = 0.1 after a 100% overload. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is applied to map the elastic

On the Distinction Between Plasticity- and Roughness-Induced Fatigue Crack Closure [PDF]
A series of experiments has been carried out to determine why some alloys display plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure (PIFCC), whereas other alloys display roughness-induced crack closure (RIFCC). Two alloys were studied, the aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (PIFCC) and a steel of comparable yield strength, S25C (RIFCC).

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Fatigue Crack Growth in Maraging Steel Obtained by Selective Laser Melting
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technology, ideal for the production of complex-shaped components. Design against fatigue is fundamental in the presence of cyclic loads, particularly for these materials which typically have ...
