This study aimed to visualize crack initiation and propagation of rubber at low temperatures. Typical fatigue behavior such as cracking at only the compressed part of rubber products like dustcovers d....
The effect of notches & mean stress in fatigue of materials has been a subject of wider interest. The current study is focused on alpha-beta Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) which is a common material in ae....
Active regeneration systems for cleaning diesel exhaust can operate at extremely high temperatures up to 1000°C. The extremely high temperatures create a unique challenge for the design of regeneratio....
Hardened steel is the majorly used raw material for automotive components. In spite of its abundance, its application is limited due to low fatigue life in dynamic loading. Shot peening is one of the ....
Fatigue behavior of aluminum alloys under multiaxial loading was investigated with both cast aluminum A356-T6 and wrought alloy 6063-T6. The dominant multiaxial fatigue crack preferentially nucleates ....
The series of work introduced in this paper is originated from a structural failure of the vehicle A/C (Air-Conditioner) pipe, and when many possible factors having been excluded, the main investigati....
Fatigue test data in finite life region are normally analyzed separately for each stress level because of varying scatters, while another method assuming equal scatters on all levels and thus unifying....
Light weight alloys are widely used in the automotive industry in order to meet environmental requirements. Cast magnesium alloys are candidate materials due to their high strength to weight ratio, hi....
Modern high-cycle fatigue criteria were implemented in structural wind turbine parts using finite element method. As a result of a test carried out for two fatigue criteria, it was concluded that the ....
