Abstract: A numerical approach to an infinite sequence of collinear cracks is presented in this paper. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the accuracy of the numerical approach. Specifically, an infinite sequence of ...

Abstract: A new method is put forward to predict fatigue life for low cycle nonproportional loading based on the Itoh criterion. The proposed method considers the multi-axiality influence on the reference maximum principal strain ...

Abstract: Based on the multi-axial fatigue life prediction model presented recently by the authors, in this note, a fatigue limit prediction equation for metallic materials under multi-axial loading is proposed. In the multi-axial ...

Abstract: This note is concerned with two circular-hole cracks of the same size in an infinite plate in tension by means of the generation of Bueckner's principle and the hybrid displacement discontinuity method. Many numerical ...

Abstract: A numerical approach for the stress concentration of periodic collinear holes in an infinite plate in tension is presented. It involves the fictitious stress method and a generalization of Bueckner's principle. Numerical ...
