The paper aims to establish an algorithm for determining the values and evolution of the stress concentration factor in corrosive environment, and establish its influence on the fatigue strength of steel required in a ...

This paper proposes a modification on SWT model concerning the prediction on fretting fatigue life, in order to take into account the material deviation from the ideal elastic-plastic behaviour, the so-called “Bauschinger ...

This paper studies some aspects of coatings fracture theory and the possibility of extending Lawn’s equation from Vickers indenter geometry to the Rockwell one. Indentation tests were performed on stainless steel coatings ...

The paper presents some surfaces changes aspects in fatigue corrosion damage based on electrochemical, mechanical profilometry and microscopically analyze of cylindrical and plate steel specimens. The researches have ...

Based on the well known fatigue corrosion effects, the mechanical stress and the corrosive environment have a significant effect on the prediction of the lifespan of the equipments that work in corrosive environment, two ...

Examinations in detail using X-radiation diffraction of the dislocation substructure in fine-grained S355JR steels plate specimen fatigued with constant amplitude were carried out to investigate the correlation between the ...

Based on the well known fatigue corrosion effects, the mechanical stress and the corrosive environment have a significant effect on the prediction of the lifespan of the equipments that work in corrosive environment, two ...

Based on these experimental observations and on the remark that any small change on the discontinuity geometry has a significant effect on the stress distribution around it, a stress concentration factor is mandatory to ...
