Brittle failure of components weakened by cracks or sharp and blunt V-notches is a topic of
active and continuous research. It is attractive for all researchers who face the problem of …

A large bulk of experimental data from static tests of sharp and blunt V-notches and from
fatigue tests of welded joints are presented in an unified way by using the mean value of the …

When used as compressive air energy storages, underground salt caverns are often
subjected to discontinuous cyclic force, characterized by low-stress time intervals (LSIs). In …

In the presence of sharp V-notches the stress distributions are singular and the intensity of
the stress fields is given in terms of the notch stress intensity factors which are largely used …

The present paper deals with multiaxial fatigue behaviour of severely notched components
made of titanium grade 5 alloy (Ti–6Al–4V). The experimental tests have been carried out …

Nowadays, the estimation of fatigue life under multiaxial random loading is still an extremely
complex task. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the multiaxial random fatigue criteria …

In the fatigue design framework of welded structures, the peak stress method (PSM) is a
rapid engineering, FE-based technique for estimating notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) …

The averaged value of the strain energy density over a well-defined volume is used to
predict the static strength of U-notched specimens under mixed-mode conditions due to …

Present multiaxial fatigue models have achieved satisfactory performance in predicting
multiaxial fatigue life of different loading paths; however, many of them require critical plane …

Two fracture criteria are proposed and applied to blunt-notched components made of brittle
materials loaded under mixed mode; the former is based on the averaged strain energy …
