The desire to establish a three-dimensional framework for use in analyzing problems of stable mixed-mode crack propagation has received lately a considerable attention. The study of predicting crack paths under the most general possible... more
Vertical cylindrical vessel-chambers as a part of coal — drying plants, whose purpose is to collect wastewater, are supported at 3 points in upper dish head area and are made of fine-grained Mn steel plates, joined by welding. Significant... more
This paper presents a methodology for predicting the thresholds of multiple site damage and widespread fatigue damage in fuselage lap slices. Widespread fatigue damage is a type of multiple cracking that reduces the airframe residual... more
This article presents a transgranular fatigue crack growth model based on a restricted slip reversal process where the transgranular crack growth rate is related to the cyclic plastic strain range ahead of the crack tip. Upon applying... more
SYNOPSIS Over the last decade Spoornet's Integrated Train Condition Monitoring System (ITCMS) has grown into a formidable engineering tool. The system consists of a wide range of measuring stations that continuously measure the condition... more
Low cyclic fatigue analysis at room temperature and crack growth rate under isothermal fatigue at 300-600 °C temperature ranges produced in AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel, using un-cracked solid cylinder specimen. The crack growth... more
This paper presents application of laser micro-machining (LMM) in introducing a longitudinal (axial) semi-elliptical sharp notch as a pre-crack on external surface of Ti–3Al–2.5V tubes to study fatigue crack growth characteristics. The... more
Laser shock processing (LSP) or laser shock peening is a new technique for strengthening metals. This process induces a compressive residual stress field which increases fatigue crack initiation life and reduces fatigue crack growth rate.... more
Rubber components subjected to fluctuating loads often fail due to the nucleation and growth of defects or cracks. The prevention of such failures depends upon an understanding of the mechanics underlying the failure process. This paper... more
A significant number of offshore structures and mechanical items installed in production systems on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) are either approaching or have exceeded their intended design life. However, with the help of the... more
When applying detailed fatigue analysis to welds in pressure vessels, designers encounter practical difficulties with the methods required by national standards such as ASME BPV Section VIII Div. 2, BS5500 and AS1210. This paper... more
