Abstract: A theoretical model for the estimation of fatigue crack length of tensile-shear spot welded specimen is developed which incorporates the natural frequency and mode variation. The model is based ...

Abstract: Strain space based plasticity models have certain advantages in theoretical development and numerical implementation. Previous efforts have been made to formulate cyclic plasticity models in strain ...

Abstract: An analytical method is developed to estimate notch root strains in a notched bar of elastic-plastic, isotropic material subjected to proportional and nonproportional multiaxial nominal loading. ...

Abstract: High-speed milling (HSM) is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries in fabricating mechanical components. HSM induced residual stress may significantly impact fatigue life and the ...

Abstract: In this study, extruded 2195-T8 plugs that were friction welded into the friction stir weld of 2195-T8 base metal plates were examined. This study characterizes the resulting microstructure and ...
