Abstract: Low-cycle fatigue tests corresponding to fatigue life range between 103 and 105 cycles were carried out at room temperature on one heat of 316 L austenitic stainless steel. These tests included: ...

Abstract: The anisotropic ductile fracture of rolled plates containing elongated inclusions is promoted by both the dilational growth of voids and the coalescence process. In the present article, the ...

Abstract: Both the initiation and the propagation of macroscopic creep cracks have been studied in 316-L austenitic stainless steel, and, for comparison purposes, in 2219-T851 aluminum alloy. These alloys ...
