Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study on fatigue strength of welded tubular T joints, performed in small and large-scale models fabricated from mild steel tubes. Fatigue tests were conducted ...

Abstract: In the present study, a series of fatigue crack growth tests were carried out in order to examine the effects of stress ratio R upon crack growth rates, together with the crack closure ...

Abstract: Compressive crushing strength on brackish ice and sea ice and fracture toughness value on sea ice were measured as parameters associated with fracture strength of ice. The compressive crushing ...

Abstract: A shear fracture propagation in steel was investigated with the aid of spring-loaded DCB testing, that was developed as a laboratory simulation test of shear fracture propagation in pressurized ...
