A nonlinear model is proposed in light of the theory isodamage curves, to assess cumulative fatigue damage under multistage loading. The curves were developed through S-N envelope, by Pavlou. adopted functional form a commonly accepted general form. In present work, stress function for life exponent derived with aid curve only. model, no adjusting parameters are necessary estimation. prediction...

in this study, an attempt was made to minimize the corrosion rate and maximize pitting potential of dissimilar metal welded joints of a387-gr91/aisi316 steels. process parameters of the pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding (pcgtaw) including of peak current (p), background current (b), pulse frequency (f), and on time percentage (o) were chosen as the influencing factors on corrosion behavio...

OBJECTIVE Thrombospondin-4 (TSP-4) is 1 of the 5 members of the thrombospondin protein family. TSP-1 and TSP-2 are potent antiangiogenic proteins. However, angiogenic properties of the 3 other TSPs, which do not contain the domains associated with the antiangiogeneic activity of TSP-1 and TSP-2, have not been explored. In our previous studies, we found that TSP-4 is expressed in the vascular ma...
