Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate a methodology for modeling the influence of crystallographic grain orientation in sliding contacts. The simulations of translating interfering cylindrical ...

Abstract: Industrial boilers experience bulbous cracks in carbon steel water-wall tubes and other water-touched surfaces. Because these cracks are blunt and different from sharp fatigue cracks, they are ...

Abstract: This study is focused on characterization of microstructural changes linked to deformation and crack formation mechanisms in duplex Ti-6Al-4V specimens used in displacement controlled fretting-only ...

Abstract: Directionally solidified (DS) Ni-base superalloys are commonly used as gas turbine materials to primarily extend the operational lives of components under high load and temperature. The nature ...
