In this article, we characterize and review the unusual lack of threshold in fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior for some alloys at low values of stress intensity factor ranges ΔK and its implications to damage-tolerant design approaches. This...
In this article, we discuss an unusual pattern in long-crack behavior at low stress intensity factor ranges ΔK (below ΔKth), characterized by an initial dip, followed by a plateau, and then an acceleration in fatigue crack growth (FCG) ra...
This work systematically investigates the high-cycle fatigue (HCF) properties and fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of hot-rolled dual-phase (DP) steels with comparable tensile strength but distinctly different yield strength (458 MPa for the FG sa...
Two sulfur-oxidizing bacterial strains, FCG-A2T and FCG-A23T, were isolated from coastal sediments collected in Fangchenggang, Guangxi Province, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences placed strain FCG-A2T with...
The growth of cracks between plies, i.e., delamination, in continuous fibre polymer matrix composites under cyclic-fatigue loading in operational aircraft structures has always been a very important factor, which has the potential to significantly de...
Hydrogen-assisted fatigue cracking presents a critical challenge to the structural integrity of legacy carbon steel natural gas pipelines being repurposed for hydrogen transport, posing a major barrier to the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure. Th...
Under cyclic loading, fatigue limits ΔσFL and fatigue crack growth (FCG) thresholds ΔΚth are usually examined using the S-N (or ε-N) and FCG da/dN-ΔK approaches, respectively. Historically, these two approaches a...
Recently, green computing has received significant attention for Internet of Things (IoT) environments due to the growing computing demands under tiny sensor enabled smart services. The related literature on green computing majorly focuses on a cover...
