Finite element analysis is perhaps the most commonly used numerical method to model
plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure. The state-of-the-art is reviewed and a …

Additive manufacturing (AM), which is a process of building objects in a layer‐upon‐layer
fashion from designed models, has received unprecedented attention from research and …

Fatigue failures create enormous risks for all engineered structures, as well as for human
lives, motivating large safety factors in design and, thus, inefficient use of resources. Inspired …

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly

Crack tip shielding phenomena, whereby the “effective crack-driving force” actually
experienced at the crack tip is locally reduced, are examined with reference to fatigue crack …

Abstract 42CrMo high-strength structural steel is widely used to manufacture the bolt
fasteners of engineering machinery, which are subjected to cyclic loading with a near-yield …

For the development of new energy automobile industry and the trend of automobile
