In this paper we explore the use of two low-oscillation complex wavelets—Mexican hat and
Morlet—as powerful feature detection tools for data analysis. These wavelets, which have …

Corrosion prevention in light-weight alloys is currently an area of major research for civilian,
aerospace, and defense applications. In order to understand thoroughly the complex …

The remaining fatigue life for aluminum aerospace alloys is greatly reduced by the presence
of corrosion damage; prediction of this deleterious influence via standard fracture mechanics …

Abstract pitting corrosion is an important factor, which leads to stress concentration. A sharp
stress concentration will have a big impact on the fatigue life of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy …

The effect of precorrosion on the fatigue life of aluminum alloy 7075-T6511 was measured,
physical characteristics of corrosion topography plus fatigue damage were established by …

The fatigue resistance of aerospace structures is degraded by the presence of corrosion
damage. This work characterizes the micro-scale (< 50 µm) corrosion morphologies and the …

In situ observation of the initial corrosion behavior of a low carbon microalloyed ferrite–
bainite dual-phase steel showed that the corrosion originated from the inside of ferrite and …

Quantification of corrosion and modeling of subsequent fatigue crack growth have been the
focus of much intense inquiry in recent years. In previous work, the present authors …

In order to investigate the fracture behaviors of corroded cold-formed thin steel plates, the
tensile tests, surface scanning and numerical analysis considering actual corroded surface …

An improved method is described for obtaining detailed information on the size and shape of
many corrosion pits by examination with White Light Interferometry. The entire surface is first …
