Ti and its alloys have been broadly adopted across various industries owing to their
outstanding properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent fatigue performance …

The fatigue crack propagation threshold Δ K th is of paramount importance for any kind of
damage tolerant design, but in contrast to this importance, the determination and application …

Welding is one of the most common methods in industrial practice for joining components. Its
main advantages are high speed in manufacturing combined with low costs and, usually, a …

This study addresses the complex interplay of shot peening-induced effects on the fatigue
strength of high-strength aluminum alloys. The inherent poor fatigue properties of aluminum …

Fatigue assessment of welded joint is still far from being completely solved now, since many
influencing factors coexist and some important ones should be considered in the developed …

The welding process induces residual stresses because of the non-uniform heating and
cooling of the material. Residual stresses are known to influence fatigue crack growth …

This paper presents a method for predicting fatigue crack propagation in welded stiffened
panels accounting for the effects of residual stresses. Well known power law models were …

Weld residual stresses have a great effect on the fatigue strength of welding structures. As
an internal stress, the residual stress is unfounded to be treated as the conventional …

Welding residual stresses have an impact on the performance of welded structures, on their
fracture resistance, their resistance against fatigue crack propagation and, most important …

The compressive residual stress (CRS) introduced by ultrasonic surface rolling process has
been proved to be the dominating factor to improve the fretting fatigue (FF) life of materials …
