A method for calculation of finite fatigue life under multiaxial loading in high-cycle domain
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 28
Abstract
A method for fatigue life assessment in high-cycle domain under multiaxial loading is presented in this paper. This approach allows fatigue assessment under any kind of load history, without limitations. The methodology lies on the construction - at a macroscopic level - of an “indicator” in the form of a set of cycles, representing plasticity that can arise at mesoscopic level throughout fatigue process. During the advancement of the loading history new cycles are created and a continuous evaluation of the damage is made

Effect of Carbon and Nitrogen Content on Deformation and Fracture of AISI 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel
The effect of small differences in the content of carbon and nitrogen on the room temperature tensile deformation and fracture behaviour of an AISI 304 stainless steel was studied. In the steel containing the lower...
Characterization of mechanical damage in granite
This paper aims to illustrate the use of infrared thermography as a non-destructive and non-contact technique to observe the phenomenological manifestation of damage in granite under unconfined compression. It allo...

Detection and quantitative estimation of deep defects in multi-layered structures is an essential task in a range of technological applications, such as maintaining the integrity of structures, enhancing the safety...
Damage propagation in a masonry arch subjected toslow cyclic and dynamic loadings
In the present work, the damage propagation of a masonry arch induced by slow cyclic anddynamic loadings is studied. A two-dimensional model of the arch is proposed. A nonlocal damage-plasticconstitutive law is ado...
Evaluation and visualization of multiaxial stress and strain states under non-proportional loading
This paper presents a simple method of determining stresses and strains and a severity of loading history under non-proportional loadings with defining the rotation angles of the maximum principal stress and strai...
