Abstract: Under cyclic loading, the effect of stress raisers on the fatigue life depends upon several parameters, the most important being the stress concentration factor, the stress level, and the ...

Abstract: Crack growth behavior at room temperature and at 600°C of SS 304 plates with a central circular hole is studied using linear elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics concepts. Due ...

Abstract: A series of cumulative damage strain-controlled fatigue tests at 20°C has been carried out on a Type 304 stainless steel with two, three, and five strain levels, both in an increasing ...

Abstract: A phenomenological approach, already used for other materials, is applied for the prediction of the behavior of 316 stainless steel under fatigue, creep or combined fatigue-creep loadings. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effect of a combined bending/tension loading on the fatigue resistance and on the fatigue crack growth characteristics of a nickel-based alloy at room temperature is studied. ...
