• Fatigue Degradation of Materials as a Tool for Damage Assessment 

      Silva, Filipe (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2008)
      Damage assessment of components or systems is strongly related to the way components fail. Thus, an appropriate understanding of failure degradation of components is necessary. Furthermore, most of the failures are related ...
    • Mechanical Resistance as a Function of Local Properties 

      Chiriță, George; Ștefănescu, Ioan; Soares, Delfim; Silva, Filipe (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2007)
      The present study makes an estimation of an automotive engine piston mechanical properties and fatigue life based on some characteristics of metallurgical microstructure. Because it is intended to assess the properties ...
