A novel proposal is presented to increase the fatigue strength of titanium parts by applying a less rigid coating, which is expected to lower the tensile stresses at the surface and delay the onset of fatigue cracking. ...

[EN] Fatigue failures in turbine blades are a pervasive, unresolved economic and safety problem that is leading the structural integrity concern in both Civil and Military Aerospace engines. The high temperatures and the ...

[EN] After the collapse of some heavy buildings and towers in Italy and elsewhere, the hypothesis of possible continuous damage to these structures due to the dead and cyclic loads (wind, temperature variations, etc.) has ...

[EN] The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the influence on fatigue behaviour of the finishing of the bulge in a welded aluminium zinc magnesium alloy AA7020. It was determined that total or partial elimination of ...

[EN] Highway and railway bridges are exposed to cyclic stressing due to traffic loads and, therefore, have to be evaluated concerning fatigue. In most cases the fatigue evaluation is performed according to Eurocode 3 Part ...

[EN] Polymeric scaffolds used in regenerative therapies are implanted in the damaged tissue and submitted to repeated loading cycles. In the case of articular cartilage engineering, an implanted scaffold is typically ...

[EN] The aim of the project is the definition, analytical study and test validation of a complex load bolted connection in HSS. Steel is a widely used and developed alloy due to its high tensile strength and low cost, ...

[ES] El proyecto se basa en una optimización estructural. Partiendo de un diseño inicial de cabina, sobre el cual se realiza un análisis modal y se estudiará su comportamiento a fatiga. En función de los resultados obtenidos ...

[EN] Background: In advanced-stage (IIIB or IV) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), combination chemotherapy has demonstrated response rates of 20% and a 1-year survival rate of 30%. We conducted a multicentre, open-label, ...
