The distortion of components is strongly related to the residual stress state induced by manufacturing processes like heat treatment, forming or machining. Each process step affects the initial stress state of the following ...

The flow stress behaviour of a directionally solidified nickel-base superalloy,MAR-M247, is presented through the combination of experiments and crystal-plasticity simulations.The experimental campaign ...

This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard’s wear equation with the Smith–Watson–Topper parameter to predict crack ...
