With the improvement and success of the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) in notch fatigue
problems, the TCD, especially the Point Method (PM), combined with multiaxial fatigue …

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 …

The critical distance inverse search procedure, recently proposed by the authors (Santus et
al., 2018), was experimentally applied in this work to 42CrMo4+ QT steel and 7075-T6 …

The critical distance length should in principle be deduced from the plain specimen fatigue
limit and the threshold stress intensity factor range. However, the threshold range is difficult …

In the present paper, a hierarchical mechanism-informed neural network (HMNN) life
prediction method was proposed. The fretting fatigue was decomposed into different fatigue …

This work presents methodologies for fretting fatigue life assessment that include the wear
effect and crack propagation. The multiaxial fatigue parameter SWT and the theory of critical …

Fatigue assessment of notched parts plays imperative performance in structural integrity and
reliability of major equipment. The theory of critical distance (TCD) involves determining the …

In this work, a fretting fatigue experimental campaign on Al 7075-T651 alloy specimens is
simulated by using both analytical and numerical approaches. According to one of the …

This work analyses the viability of the theory of critical distances (TCD) using mesh control
for fretting fatigue lifetime assessment. More than seven hundred sets of simulations were …

Fatigue damage of overhead conductors is a major problem in the transmission line
industry. The damage process, which typically takes place at the contact between the …
