Fatigue Strength of Notched Plates

Fatigue Strength of Medial Column Plates

Introduction: The use of plate systems represents a well-recognized technique for obtaining an effective compression, reduction and stabilization of the medial column of the foot. In this study, the in vitro fatigue strength of NCM (Medial Column Fusion) plates was determined and compared to a competitor’s equivalent foot system. Material: Two plates were investigated: Stryker VariAx 2 NCM Plat...

Strength Prediction of Notched Woven Composite Plates using a Cohesive Zone Approach

The present paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in notched woven fabric composites. Previous experimental work has shown that damage at a notch in a variety of GFRP and CFRP composites based on woven fabric reinforcement comprises matrix damage and fibre tow fracture along the plane of maximum stress. It is these experimental observations that inform the failure modelling deve...

Prediction of Fatigue Life in Notched Specimens Using Multiaxial Fatigue Criteria

In this research, the effects of notch shape on the fatigue strength of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy notched specimens have been studied using experimental and multiaxial fatigue analysis. For this purpose, four set of specimens with different notch shape were prepared and then fatigue tests were carried out at various cyclic longitudinal load levels. Load controlled fatigue tests of mentioned specim...
