Where a material can plastically deform by more than one mechanism, the relative extent to which the various mechanisms operate often depends on the strain rate. Most metals...

Ultrasonic peening (UP) can improve the fatigue resistance of welded joints by introducing compressive residual stresses at the toe of the welds, and offers significant...

Welding residual stresses have important consequences on the performance of engineering components. However, residual stress often remains the single largest unknown in...

Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for providing improved damage tolerance in aerospace structures. They can be applied either where mechanical fastening is being...
