The manufacturing defects introduced by selective laser melting typically lead to lower
fatigue strength and a larger variation in fatigue life compared to conventionally …

Microstructural features and defects arising from selective laser melting (SLM) determine the
in-service performance of additively manufactured near-net-shape components. Here the …

Surface defects and microstructure have a significant impact on the fatigue properties of
materials. In this paper, surface roughness was considered as surface micro-defects, and …

The effects of rainfall intensity, slope gradient and vegetation cover on the intensity of runoff
and rate of soil erosion were examined with simulated rainfall. All five affected soil erosion in …

The celebrated Kitagawa–Takahashi (KT) diagram, and the El Haddad (EH) equation, have
received great attention since they define quite successfully the region of non-propagation …

The work is concerned with the development of a multi-stage corrosion fatigue lifetime
model, with emphasis on pitting as a precursor to cracking. The model is based upon the …

Loss of soil nutrients in runoff accelerates eutrophication of surface waters. This study found
out the critical of rainfall intensity and slope angles of total nitrogen and phosphorus in …

Nickel based super-alloys when exposed to a combination of high temperature and low
melting point fused corrosion products, result in early fatigue failure compared to their …

Les mécanismes d'endommagement activés par certains procédés de mise en forme à haut
niveau de déformation sont étudiés dans les aciers Dual Phase (DP1000). L'objectif …

Goals of this study Over the last years, lightweight design has become highly important in
automotive engineer-ing, which has led to a continuously increasing use of aluminium …
