background : cancer is a disease which is identified by abnormal deformation of the cells. one of the common side effects of the cancer is fatigue that affects on patients’ life quality and leads to disability. exercise has an important role in improving these patients’ life quality and can be used as a complementary treatment during and after the cancer treatment. unfortunately, despite good e...

Engineers have a range of methods to estimate the fatigue life under multiaxial conditions. Each of these predictive methods is generally subjected to restrictions, related to the inherent simplified assumptions. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the validity of commonly used multiaxial fatigue criteria for different multiaxial loading conditions. The best criterion is identified throu...

Engineering structures are usually exposed to cyclic multiaxial loading and subsequently to multiaxial fatigue. Different models and criteria with various capabilities have been proposed for predicting of multiaxial fatigue life. Selection of proper model by considering material, type of loading and operation condition of each engineering structure is a challenging issue of the life prediction ...

this paper presents a finite element analysis and its related experimental test of corrugated steel web beams subjected to fatigue loading. a particular focus in this study was set on the fatigue failure arising from the web-to-flange welded joint of the corrugated steel web beam. a detailed three-dimensional finite element model which explicitly includes the geometry of the web-to-flange welds...

This study aims to validate, using finite element analysis (FEA), the design concept by comparing the fatigue behavior of hip implant stems coated with composite (carbon/PEEK) and polymeric (PEEK) coating materials corresponding to different human activities: standing up, normal walking and climbing stairs under dynamic loadings to find out which of all these models have a better performance in...

Compression springs were prepared from Cr-Si high strength spring steel and coated with pure Zn and ZnNi by electroplating process. The effect of baking after electroplating as well as applying an electroless nickel interlayer on the fatigue and fatigue corrosion of the springs was investigated. The results were analyzed using weibull statistical model. A considerable improvement (8%) in fati...

in the present study, the effect of various weight fractions of graphene nanoplatelet (gpl) on flexural fatigue behavior of epoxy polymer has been investigated at room temperature and generally the temperature was monitored on the surface of specimen during each test. the flexural stiffness of grapheme nano-platelet/epoxy nanocomposites at 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 wt. % as a main effective parameter o...

In this research, the influence of bolt preload on the fatigue strength of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy double lap bolted joints has been studied experimentally and numerically. To do so, three sets of the specimens were prepared and each of them subjected to tightening torque of 1,2.5 and 5 N-m and then fatigue tests were conducted under various cyclic axial load levels. In the numerical method, th...

‌‌‌Fatigue behavior of a vanadium microalloy steel has been studied in this research. Here, microstructure constituents were considered which essentially are dependent on the heat treatment conditions. The results of high cycle fatigue tests revealed that heat treatment procedure and cooling rates have significant effects on fatigue properties. Optimal heat treatment cycle of the microalloyed s...
