ABSTRACT Small crack growth from notches under variable amplitude loading requires that crack opening stress be followed on a cycle by cycle basis and taken into account in making fatigue life ...
Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...
Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...
