Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate the fatigue behavior of a cross-ply, [0/90]2s , laminate of silicon fiber reinforced titanium matrix composite, SCS-6/Ti-15-3 at an elevated temperature of ...

Abstract: The contact interaction between a rough cylindrical body (i.e., with asperities) and a deformable smooth flat was investigated using the finite-element analysis. Analysis included both elastic–plastic ...

Abstract: By using the crack analogue model of rigid flat-ended contact, crack initiation in fretting fatigue is analyzed. The coefficient of friction at the edge of contact, which characterizes the ...

Abstract: Elastic-plastic finite element analyses of a cylinder-on-plate configuration, studied experimentally, were performed to provide an explanation for the decrease in fretting fatigue life with increasing ...

Abstract: The response of a quasi-isotropic laminate of metal matrix composite, SCS-6/Ti-15-3 in a thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) environment was investigated. To achieve this, three sets of fatigue tests ...

Abstract: The interaction of a longitudinal wave with a narrow cavity or slot that contains an inclusion is considered. A singular integral equation is derived for the scattered field and the integral ...
