Abstract: A study is conducted to determine the plastic energy absorbed by a material subjected to cyclic loading during the crack propagation stage. The analysis is based on Liu’s elastoplastic solution ...

Abstract: The effect of the relative mean strain in the low-cycle fatigue of a stainless steel (AISI 304) in air at 650°C and at a constant strain rate (4 × 10−3 s−1 ) is studied. Two ...

Abstract: In this paper, single and multiple overloading tests under cyclic controlled stress were carried out on specimens of Worm-like Graphite Cast Iron (WGCI), a brittle material. The results showed ...

Abstract: This paper describes a damage Parameter for predicting fatigue life under biaxial-tensile loadings. Several studies have focussed in the past on the situations where the in-plane biaxial stress ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of uniaxial cumulative fatigue damage is presented together with a large number of experimental results on unnotched specimens of A-201 and A-517 steels. The theory developed ...
