Multi-purpose fatigue sensor. Part 2. Physical backgrounds for damages accumulation and parameters of their assessment
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 38
Abstract
The characteristic informative parameters for defect detection to be used in fatigue sensors have been established. Their development is interpreted in terms of scale levels of deformation and fracture. Damage accumulation of the sensor’s surface tends to exhibit the self-organization nature. It is accompanied by formation of "folded" strain-induced relief on the surface. The mechanisms of damage accumulation under cyclic deformation were analyzed with the use of the multiscale approach

Evaluation of the increased load bearing capacity of steel beams strengthened with pre-stressed FRP laminates
We analyse the problem of a simply supported steel beam subjected to uniformly distributed load, strengthened with a pre-stressed fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate. We assume that the laminate is first put i...
A critical review of fracture mechanics as a tool for multiaxial fatigue life prediction of plastics1
Plastics belong to the most complex and probably least understood engineering materials of today. Combining the best aspects of design, mechanical properties and manufacturing, the structural integrity of plastic...
Fatigue crack growth under remote and local compression – a state-of-the-art review
There is an ever increasing need for accurate understanding of the fatigue crack growth behaviour in major engineering materials and components. With the move towards more complex, probabilistic assessments, the...
