Abstract: Aging steam generator tubes have been experiencing a variety of degradations such as pitting, fretting wear, erosion-corrosion, thinning, cracking, and denting. To assist with steam generator life ...

Abstract: Local deformation due to the interaction of small scale features such as voids or hard particles is expected to have a significant influence on the failure mode of a material. To this end, ...

Abstract: Deformation and fracture behavior of several formable automotive aluminum alloys and steels have been assessed experimentally at room temperature through standard uniaxial tension, plane strain ...
