Details related to modeling and experimental analyses for a new type of specimen, which is proposed to be used for mixed mode-I/II fracture tests, are presented. The specimen is similar to a T-shape and requires less ...

The plane-strain fracture toughness test method enables the determination of the plane-strain fracture toughness (K-IC) of metallic materials by tests using a variety of precracked specimens, such as bend, compact tension ...

In this study, in-plane mixed mode-I/II fatigue crack growth simulations and experiments are performed for the Al 7075-T651 aluminum alloy which is widely used in the aerospace industry. Tests are carried out under different ...

In this study, to investigate and understand the nature of fracture behavior properly under in-plane mixed mode (Mode-I/II) loading, three-dimensional fracture analyses and experiments of compact tension shear (CTS) specimen ...

Three dimensional mixed mode-I/III fatigue crack growth simulations and experiments are performed on Al7075-T651 aluminum under different mode mixity ratios. The crack growth surfaces obtained from numerical models are ...

The twin-wire electrical arc spraying (TWAS) process is widely used for worn-out surface restoration and the corrosion protection of metallic constructions. The industrial benefit of arc spray coatings is the possibility ...
