by performing a parametric study. The effect of residual stress on the subsequent fracture

response of Aluminum specimens under mode Ι loading is explored by performing an experimental programme.

The scatter of fracture toughness results compared...

The purpose of this paper is an experimental study on fatigue fracture performance of rail steel which is used in Iran railway. For this purpose, the fatigue, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth tests were carried out and have been checked...

The present paper examines the influence of rotational and traverse speed of tool on

fracture toughness in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of the Aluminum alloy plates 2024-T351 which

are connected in a butt jointed way. Fracture behavior...

of the mechanical tests show that the process significantly increases the yield and ultimate tensile strengths, bending strength, hardness and fracture toughness of the commercially pure titanium so that it can be used as a replacement for metallic alloys used...

time. The effect of Si content and different sintering parameters on relative density, microstructure, hardness and fracture toughness of the sintered materials have been investigated. The relative density increased from about 83% to 99% by increasing...

Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites are used as advanced materials in aerospace and electronic industries. In order to investigate

role of aspect ratio of carbon fiber on fracture toughness of aluminum matrix composite...

Modification of fracture toughness of isotactic polypropylene with a combination of EPR and CaCO3 pa...

hardness, tensile, residual stress and fracture toughness tests were carried out to evaluate the microstructural and mechanical properties of the joints as a function of the process parameters. The finite element simulation of the FSW process was also...
