Journal ArticleDOI
Finite element modelling and analysis of crack shape evolution in mode-I fatigue Middle Cracked Tension specimens
Ricardo Branco,Fernando Antunes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical procedure was employed to study the shape evolution of fatigue cracks in Middle Cracked Tension specimens, which consists of a 3D finite element analysis to obtain the displacement field in the cracked body, calculation of stress intensity factors along crack front and definition of local crack advances considering the Paris law.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-cycle fatigue behaviour of 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel was investigated systematically under fully-reversed strain-controlled conditions at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Cycle Fatigue Behaviour of AISI 18Ni300 Maraging Steel Produced by Selective Laser Melting
Ricardo Branco,José Costa,Filippo Berto,Seyed Mohammad Javad Razavi,J.A.M. Ferreira,Carlos Capela,Luís M. N. B. F. Santos,Fernando Antunes +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the cyclic plastic behavior of AISI 18Ni300 maraging steel manufactured by selective laser melting has been studied, under fully-reversed strain-controlled conditions, with strain amplitudes ranging from 0.3% to 1.0%.
Journal ArticleDOI
A numerical analysis of CTOD in constant amplitude fatigue crack growth
TL;DR: An elastic-plastic finite-element model was developed to quantify the CTOD in a M(T) specimen for two aluminum alloys (AA6016-T4 and the AA6082-T6) as discussed by the authors.
