The goal of the authors’ investigations was determination of the fatigue crack growth in fragments of steel structures (of the puddled steel) and its cyclic behavior. Tested steel elements coming from the turn of the 19th and 20th were…
Automotive industry and mechanical engineering strive to drastically reduce the carbon footprint of their products. This becomes increasingly important as aluminum usage grows for lightweight, efficient components. Nevertheless, cast…
The availability of engineering strength data on shape memory alloys (SMAs) under cyclic thermal activation (functional fatigue) is central to the rational design of smart actuators based on these materials. Test results on SMAs under…
The present paper is devoted to an experimental study on the fracture behaviour of natural stones, commonly used as elements for building cladding, under both monotonic and cyclic loading, with particular emphasis to white Carrara marble.…
TIG-dressing is a technique used to improve the fatigue strength of welded joints by a remelting of the weld toe region that promotes both a smoother transition between the plate and the weld crown and a residual stress redistribution.…
