• An Analytical Procedure to Incorporate the Bauchinger Effect on Fretting Fatigue Models 

      Buciumeanu, Mihaela; Palaghian, Liviu; Sousa Miranda, António; Silva, Filipe Samuel (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)
      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 ...
    • Damage Evolution of AL7175 and CK45 Alloys under Fretting Fatigue 

      Buciumeanu, Mihaela; Miranda, Antonio Sousa; Silva, Filipe Samuel (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2007)
      There are several different parameters that affect the fretting fatigue behaviour of materials. The present work is focused on the influence of the wear damage evolution. Results of fretting fatigue experimental tests ...
    • Market Opportunity of Some Aluminium Silicon Alloys Materials through Changing the Casting Process 

      Chiriţă, George; Chiriţă, Mioara; Soares, Delfim; Silva, Filipe Samuel (“Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, 2012)
      Fatigue is considered to be the most common mechanism by which engineering components fail, and it accounts for at least 90% of all service failures attributed to mechanical causes. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, ...
    • Mechanical Resistance as a Function of Local Properties 

      Chiriţă, George; Ştefănescu, Ioan; Soares, Delfim; Silva, Filipe Samuel (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 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 in ...
