Strain-controlled continuous fatigue and creep–fatigue tests were carried out at 700 °C 800 on Inconel 625 alloy. The effects of strain rate tensile-hold time cyclic stress response life investigated. Then, the microstructural analysis fractographic fatigue-fractured specimens performed by scanning electron microscopy transmission microscopy. responses during high-temperature creep–fatigue–oxid...

Glass fiber reinforced Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) have a complex set of properties - high specific strength and hardness, good corrosion chemical resistance, most all low relative weight, making them the preferred material over metallic materials in number industries (aircraft, boat building, renewable energy facilities many others). The main aim present work was reduced to obtaining PMCs...

The present study evaluated the durability of bond strength between zirconia and 3 different resin cements. Thirty stabilized tetragonal zirconium-dioxide blocks were duplicated in dual-curing resin core build-up material specimens. Resin blocks were randomly luted to zirconium surfaces using 1) Clearfil Esthetic Cement (CLF), 2) RelyX Unicem Aplicap (RELX), or 3) Multilink Automix (MLA). After...

Fatigue cracking in metallic aircraft structure often originates at fastener holes and can be detected using the nondestructive inspection technique of bolt-hole eddy-current (BHEC) testing. BHEC testing is based on detection of a disturbance in the induced current or magnetic field caused by a surface-breaking crack in the bore of the hole. However, if the surface of the hole contains benign m...

A generalized method for characterizing mechanical stresses in brittle materials during crack tip propagation is presented. This approach was derived from classical fracture mechanics and is therefore mechanism independent and applies to any isotropic brittle material, including glasses, fine grained ceramics or metals, and high stiffness polymers. A practical implementation demonstrates the me...

Helicoidal fibre structures are widely observed in natural materials. In this paper, an integrated experimental and analytical approach was used to investigate the compressive resistance of helicoidal fibre structures. First, helicoidal fibre-reinforced composites were created using three-dimensionally printed helicoids and polymeric matrices, including plain, ring-reinforced and helix-reinforc...
