[EN] In the present research work, a numerical crack growth analysis using linear elastic fracture mechanics is carried out paying attention to the crack paths that grow in the central part of cruciform specimens under ...
[EN] In this work the suitability of the criterion of maximum effective amplitude of the normal stress (Delta sigma(n,eff))(max) and the criterion of minimum shear stress range (Delta tau)(min) for 2D cylindrical plain ...

In this work, the orientation and propagation of a crack in a fretting fatigue problem is analyzed numerically and correlated experimentally. The analysis is performed using a 2D model of a complete-contact fretting problem, ...
[EN] A proper prediction of crack paths is required when assessing accurately the fatigue crack propagation life. Recently, some authors have pointed out that the criterion of minimum shear stress range leads to inconsistent ...
