Notch and Mean Stress Effect in Fatigue as Phenomena of Elasto-Plastic Inherent Multiaxiality
(2011)The present paper summarises an attempt of estimating fatigue lifetime of notched metallic materials by directly accounting for the degree of multiaxiality of the local elasto-plastic stress/strain fields acting on the ... -
The Variable Radius Notch: Two New Methods for Reducing Stress Concentration
(2011)Geometrical features such as notches and corners give rise to stress concentrations. In industrial components these features are often designed with a constant radius, however it is already known that a more complex shape, ... -
What we can't learn from nature
(2011)When attempting to design bio-inspired materials and structures, it is important to remember that Nature employs some strategies for optimising the use of load-bearing materials which we, as engineers, cannot replicate. A ...
