Effects of surfaces nanocrystallization induced by shot peening on material properties : a Review
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
A brief description of surface nanosrystallization process via severe plastic deformation is presented. To come to the point different shot peening methods which have proved to be able to create nanocrystalline layers are demonstrated clarifying the actual state of the art. Then the influence of the process is reviewed on material behavior and a wide range of affected properties are investigated. On this basis some possible addresses for future research in this field are drawn and underlined.

Crack mode and life of Ti-6Al-4V under multiaxial low cycle fatigue
This paper studies multiaxial low cycle fatigue crack mode and failure life of Ti-6Al-4V. Stress controlled fatigue tests were carried out using a hollow cylinder specimen under multiaxial loadings of λ=0, 0.4,&nb...
EBSD-assisted fractographic analysis of crack paths in magnesium alloy
Magnesium (Mg) alloys are attractive as structural materials due to their light weight and high specific strength. It is well known that Mg alloy has hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure and only basal slip ...
Sulla storia degli studi di frattura in Italia
History of studies of fracture is inherently intermingled with the history of technology developments. In the beginning very little was written about. We must credit Leonardo and Galileo as the first ones that wrote abou...
Damage modelling in concrete subject to sulfate attack
In this paper, we consider the mechanical effect of the sulfate attack on concrete. The durabilityanalysis of concrete structures in contact to external sulfate solutions requires the definition of a properdiffusio...
Fracture-Safe and Fatigue-Reliable Structures
Learning from history is, by popular account, something at which human beings are not particularly good; George Bernard Shaw having stated that “we learn from history that we learn nothing from history”, while th...
