Abstract: This paper describes an approach to life prediction in which critical elements of major structural components are continuously monitored by appropriate damage indicators for structural damage, ...

Abstract: During the course of an experimental investigation on the effect of cyclic plastic strain on metals [1], it was observed that under certain conditions materials subjected to cyclic plastic ...

Abstract: The present paper is an extension of a previous investigation, and considers the effects of various quench aging treatments on SAE 1010 and 1111 subjected to cyclic strain at aging temperatures. ...

Abstract: A new process of forming square and pentagonal-shaped tubes from round tubes by rotating the tube between three rollers is described. It is found that, depending on the ratio of the roller ...

Abstract: Dimensional changes in the form of necking and bulging occur in the shape of cylindrical and hourglass commercially pure aluminum specimens subjected to axial push-pull cyclic loading. The present ...

Abstract: Experimental data from cyclic strain fatigue tests on twelve structural materials are compared on the basis of a low cycle fatigue equation as suggested by an ASME task group. This equation ...

Abstract: Test results, experimental techniques and analytical interpretations are reported from notched compact type (CT) tests of SA 333 Gr. 6 carbon steel to determine quantitatively fatigue initiation ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a study of surface crack growth of two nuclear structural steels, SA333 Gr6 carbon steel used for piping and SA533 Grade B pressure vessel steel, both tested under ...
