Effects of Hold Time on the Elevated Temperature Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior of Alloy 247LC‐DS
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1794-1808, May 2026.ABSTRACT Creep–fatigue crack growth (CFCG) experiments were performed at 850°C and 950°C on nominally 12.70‐mm‐thick compact‐type specimens of alloy 247LC‐DS, a Ni‐base superalloy. The loading cycles consisted of trapezoidal waveforms with hold times of 2 and 20 min at the maximum force.

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1929-1943, May 2026.ABSTRACT In this study, the influence of resin cross‐link density on thermomechanical properties and fatigue behavior of polyurethane resins and glass fiber‐reinforced polyurethane (PUR‐GFRP) composites was investigated. This material is a candidate for renewable energy applications like rotor blades in wind turbines.
