When I was a young (19-years-old), newly-minted physicist, my first professional job was testing the metal fatigue properties of various Australian steels at BHP Port Kembla. (In fact, I tested ...

Computer-aided testing of metals and composites. Cyclic behavior, fatigue and fracture testing and modeling. Damage characterization under low- and high-cycle fatigue. Life prediction and durability ...

This comprehensive overview of the whole field of fatigue and fracture of metallic materials covers both the theoretical background and some of the latest experimental techniques. It provides a ...

Experiments have therefore been made to determine the fatigue strength of the pure metal in the cast condition. The measurements were made on a Wöhler type machine with four-point loading ...

And that's to say nothing of long-term viability and accounting for the age fatigue of the metal. For my part, from now on if I see a Cybertruck towing on the highway, I'm giving it a super wide ...

These tests suggest that composites of various types can have tensile fatigue properties superior to the metal light alloy. Kevlar-epoxy, Graphite-epoxy, and S-glass epoxy, all perform better than the ...
