Abstract
In polycrystalline alloys, fatigue damage is strongly influenced by the microstructure. Nowadays crystal plasticity models are used in order to take into account the crystallography and microstructural mechanisms but there is no consensus on crack initiation sites and their most [...]
Abstract
Oxygen diffusion has an important influence on the corrosion process of reinforced concrete structures. In the marine environment, concrete is subject to both fatigue loads and periodic drying-wetting conditions. In this study, the oxygen diffusion performance of damaged concrete [...]
