Influence of joint line remnant on crack paths under static and fatigue loadings in friction stir welded Al-Mg-Sc alloy

Y. Besel, M. Besel, U. Alfaro Mercado, T. Kakiuchi, Y. Uematsu

The influence of the joint line remnant (JLR) on tensile and fatigue fracture behaviour has been investigated in a friction stir welded Al-Mg-Sc alloy. JLR is one of the microstructural features formed in friction stir welds depending on…

Fatigue failure analysis of pin-loaded lugs

Slobodanka Boljanovic, Stevan Maksimovic

In the present paper, mathematical models are proposed in order to analyze the strength of pinloaded lugs with semi-elliptical crack and through-the-thickness crack. The crack growth investigation of considered crack configurations tackles…

The heat energy dissipated in a control volume to correlate the crack propagation rate in stainless steel specimens

G. Meneghetti, M. Ricotta

Metallic materials dissipate thermal energy when subjected to fatigue. Some of them, due a favorable combination of thermo-physical material properties, exhibit a significant temperature rise, which can be easily measured in-situ by means…
