Can Keff be assumed as the driving force for fatigue crack growth? [PDF]
This work raises some new questions about the validity of blindly assuming that Elber’s effective stress intensity factor is the actual fatigue crack driving force, and that as so it can be used to explain all load sequence effects on fatigue crack ...

Growth of inclined fatigue cracks using the biaxial CJP model [PDF]
The CJP model of crack tip stresses is a modified version of the Williams crack tip stress field which takes account of simplified stress distributions that arise from the presence of a zone of plastic deformation associated with the crack flanks and ...

High cycle fatigue and ratcheting interaction of laser powder bed fusion stainless steel 316L:Fracture behaviour and stress-based modelling [PDF]
Variations in the physical and mechanical properties of parts made by laser power bed fusion (L-PBF) could be affected by the choice of processing or post-processing strategies.

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 ...

Strip yield modelling of fatigue crack under variable amplitude loading [PDF]
The results from 'strip yield' approach of the FASTRAN type models of plasticity induced crack closure effects of fatigue cracks subjected to variable amplitude loadings are presented. The strip yield results are compared with authors' finite element (FE)

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

Development of a fretting-fatigue mapping concept: The effect of material properties and surface treatments [PDF]
Fretting-fatigue induced by combined localized cyclic contact motion and external bulk fatigue loadings may result in premature and dramatic failure of the contacting components.
