Advanced bioceramics have played integral roles in treatment modalities for damaged or
diseased human joints and osseous defects. This paper reviews the uses and properties of …

Very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) is the fatigue damage and failure beyond 10 7 loading
cycles. Crack initiation of VHCF for metallic materials is commonly from the interior of …

The high-cycle fatigue (HCF) of titanium alloy turbine engine components remains a
principal cause of failures in military aircraft engines. A recent initiative sponsored by the …

The fracture surfaces of specimens of a heat‐treated hard steel, namely Cr–Mo steel
SCM435, which failed in the regime of N= 105 to 5× 108 cycles, were investigated by optical …

The deformation systems in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals are not as symmetrically
distributed as in cubic ones. Furthermore, because the primary slip systems are not as …

The objective of this work is to provide a rationale approach to define the limiting conditions
for high-cycle fatigue (HCF) in the presence of foreign-object damage (FOD). This study …

Prolonged usage can lead to fatigue failures in prosthetic implants. This is an emerging
concern for the prosthesis designer and as well as for end-users. Laser shock peening …

Abstract High-cycle fatigue (HCF), involving the premature initiation and/or rapid
propagation of cracks to failure due to high-frequency cyclic loading, remains a principal …

The behavior of crack initiation and early growth in high-cycle fatigue (HCF) and very-high-
cycle fatigue (VHCF) regimes for a TC4 titanium alloy with equiaxed microstructure was …

The present work focuses on the room and high temperature low-cycle fatigue and creep
testing of Ti-6Al-4V manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) or laser-based powder …
