| Description | This cluster of papers covers advances in fatigue mechanics and fracture analysis, including topics such as fatigue crack closure, multiaxial fatigue criterion, thermographic methodology for fatigue limit determination, microstructure-sensitive modeling of fatigue crack formation, and probabilistic fatigue life prediction. The research also delves into high-cycle fatigue behavior, stress intensity factors, crack propagation mechanisms, and the application of local approaches to fracture assessment. |
