In the past three decades ratcheting fatigue has attracted lots of research interest.
Ratcheting can be defined as the directional progressive accumulation of plastic …

In many engineering structural applications, including car body structures, sheet metal
formed components are used. A systematic investigation of the impact of forming strain on …

In the framework of the unified elastic-plastic constitutive theory, the cyclic response and
damage evolution of 316H steel in the low cycle fatigue (LCF) regime was analyzed and …

The Chaboche isotropic-kinematic hardening (CIKH) model provides a versatile and realistic
description of the material stress–strain behavior under generic multiaxial cyclic loadings …

The different types of plastic zones found at a crack tip under cyclic loading of a
commercially available aluminium alloy are studied based on 3-dimensional finite element …

This paper presents a series of experiment results on the ageing effects of cyclic junction
temperature variations (ΔT j) of low amplitudes in power modules, to help the capturing of …

This paper provides an experimental methodology to determine the reversed plastic zone
size at the crack tip under cyclic loading through high-resolution DIC measurements. Due to …

Fatigue strength analysis of critical components plays a vital role for ensuring structural
integrity and operational reliability of major equipment. In notched components, the concept …

This work investigated the crack growth behaviors of EH36 joints, 316H steels, 6063-T6 and
TC4 alloys at room temperature, proposing a unified approach. This model was achieved via …
