Spring 2010
Fatigue assessments have been carried out predominantly with quasi-deterministic approaches, such as the use of S–N curves. However, both the loading and the resistance of fatigue prone components are subjected to significant uncertainties. Consequently, a prediction of the remaining fatigue life...

Study of Static and Dynamic Properties of Cracked Functionally Graded Materials Using Special Finite Elements
DownloadSpring 2018
Functionally graded materials (FGMs), the new generation of materials in which composition and material properties vary continuously with the change of the coordinate position, provide a good opportunity for combining desired properties of different materials for engineering applications such as:...
