Friction is essential for the proper functioning of a mechanical system. On the other hand,
friction has a dissipative nature which destroys useful energy and reduces the efficiency of a …

The extended finite element (XFEM) has been applied to investigate fatigue crack growth in
engineering components containing different types of material irregularities. The standard …

Frictional contact behavior between two contacting solid bodies has been investigated by
employing the enriched element free Galerkin method (EFGM), which is a strong and …

The present study investigates the frictional contact behavior in engineering materials
containing different types of discontinuities or features in the domain by employing the …

Fatigue failure is referred to the slow deterioration process of structures that are subjected to
cyclic loading, including the structural elements of nuclear power plants, aircraft, railways …

This work pertains to determine the extent of plastic zones evolved in front of the crack tip in
cracked specimens containing different types of inclusions. The analysis has been …

The present study investigates large sliding contact behavior between solid bodies by
