Notch FCI life under constant amplitude uniaxial loads

M.M.I. Hammouda, I.G. El‐Batanony

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the number of cycles for fatigue crack initiation in notched plates.

Comparison of two‐ and three‐dimensional analyses of interface fracture data obtained from Brazilian disk specimens

Leslie Banks‐Sills, Natalie Konovalov, Adi Fliesher

Fracture tests carried out on bimaterial Brazilian disk specimens have been reported elsewhere. Two material pairs are tested in which each of the constituents is linearly…

Overloading effect on the fatigue threshold stress intensity factor range (ΔKth) as a function of crack length in SUS316

Yasuaki Hashikura, Koji Takahashi, Yuji Miyazaki, Keiji Houjou, Kotoji Ando

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of overload on the threshold stress intensity factor range (ΔK_th) in SUS316.

Inelastic cyclic behaviour of as‐received and pre‐corroded S500s tempcore steel reinforcement

Ch. Alk. Apostolopoulos, C.A. Rodopoulos

Seismic loading can induce significant deformations to steel reinforcement. The recent approach suggested by Eurocode 8 indicates that steel reinforcement shall sustain repeated…

Continuum damage mechanics modeling for fatigue life of elastomeric materials

Aidy Ali, Maryam Hosseini, Barkawi Sahari

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fatigue behavior of rubber using dumb‐bell test specimens under uniaxial loading.

Crack‐healing behaviour of ZrO2/SiC composite ceramics

Keiji Houjou, Kotoji Ando, Koji Takahashi

Zirconia ceramics exhibit high strength and fracture toughness. The purpose of this paper is to research a possibility of crack healing in zirconia ceramics.

Analysis software to interpret defects in ultrasonic testing

T.M.R. Tennakoon

In ultrasonic A‐scan technique the depth and the size of the defect in the material can be determined from the position and amplitude of the reflected echo on the cathode ray tube…

Automation of the fatigue design under variable amplitude loading using the ViDa software
