Abstract: Crack closure and fatigue crack growth experiments were performed on centrally notched specimens of 6063-T6 Al-alloy under single overload and block loading conditions. Using crack closure data, ...

Abstract: Crack growth rate experiments are conducted by applying an intermediate single overload cycle in constant amplitude load (CAL) tests. For a particular overload ratio, three to four tests are ...

Abstract: In this work the problem for S-type of bellows and U-type of bellows subjected to axial loading is treated by using plate theory and beam theory. The solutions found here are compared with ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an approach for the determination of geometry of spur gear tooth root fillet. An equation is developed to determine the point of tangency of involute ...

Abstract: A method to synthesize a planar five-bar mechanism of variable topology type with transmission angle control is suggested. The method is useful to reduce the solution space and thus the number ...
