The maintenance and safety of ancient bridges is a major concern of governmental
authorities. In particular, the safety of old riveted bridges fabricated and placed into service …

In this paper, corrosion fatigue failure of high-strength steel wire was studied based on the
actual cable or sling in the bridge, and the service life prediction formula considering the …

In this paper, the failure probability of corroded pipelines made by X60 steel grade is
evaluated. For this complex real engineering failure problem, the burst corroded …

In‐service bridge wires often fail prior to the design life subjected to alternating stresses and
environmental erosion. In this paper, a novel corrosion fatigue test device, integrating fatigue …

To conduct safety checks of corroded steel structures and formulate appropriate
maintenance strategies, the residual strength of steel structural members must be assessed …

The complete elimination of flaws in complex parts raises the overall costs, especially under
stringent safety or service targets, while advanced knowledge might grade the risk of …

Long-term operation of oil and gas pipeline steels causes a significant worsening of their
mechanical properties, especially characteristics of brittle fracture resistance. General …

Bridge expansion joint can accommodate the deformation under the effects of vehicle load
and temperature. Fatigue damage readily occurs because it is directly subjected to repeated …

During operation, various physical and mechanical processes occur in the metal of the rails
under cyclic force action over time: plastic deformation of the rail rolling surface, the …

A 60Si2Mn steel fastening clip in the track of high-speed railway fractured abnormally during
service, and its service life was 8 years. The microstructure and the fracture morphology of …
