Material fatigue remains one of the most persistent challenges in engineering, responsible for an estimated 80% of structural ...

Fatigue assessment of welded structures centres on the prediction and evaluation of crack initiation and propagation under cyclic loading. Welding introduces microstructural heterogeneity, residual ...

Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...
