The application of new secondary refining techniques and non-metallic inclusion reduction
techniques in steel production processes has greatly reduced the size and amount of non …

The effect of inclusion size on fatigue behaviour of high strength steels in the very high cycle
fatigue (VHCF) regime (> 107–109 cycles) is reviewed. Internal fatigue fractures of high …

The fatigue behavior of metallic materials fabricated via additive manufacturing processes is
currently not well understood and it has been the subject of many experimental …

A quarter of century has passed since the seminal paper'94 by Murakami, who launched the
adoption of extreme value statistics for the estimation of critical defect size to be considered …

The method explained in this paper for quantitative evaluation of fatigue limit for materials
containing defects is based on the experimental evidences that inhomogeneities and micro …

The statistical pore size characterization by metallography in the framework of Extreme
Value Statistics (EVS) is presented and applied to different sets of cast AlSi7Mg specimens …

A wide range of studies and experimental evidence have shown that the lower bound of
fatigue properties can be correctly predicted by considering the maximum occurring defect …

This work is focused on the effect of natural defect on the fatigue resistance of a laser
powder bed fusion additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V titanium. To reveal the fatigue strength …

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) properties at high temperature of Ni-based single-crystal
(SX) superalloys and of a directionally solidified (DS) superalloy have been investigated at …

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) properties of a Ni-based single crystal superalloy (CMSX-4)
have been studied at 20 kHz and temperature of 1000° C between 10 6 and 10 10 cycles …
