Generalization of the Weibull probabilistic compatible model to assess fatigue data into three domains: LCF, HCF and VHCF

In this work, three classes of fatigue models are reviewed according to the fatigue regimes commonly considered in the current components design. Particular attention is devoted to the so-called Class III fatigue models, covering the three fatigue regimes, namely, LCF, HCF and VHCF. The applicability and limitations of the proposed analytical...

Probabilistic strain-fatigue life performance based on stochastic analysis of structural and WAAM-stainless steels

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has increasingly attracted attention in the construction sector because of its ability to produce large metallic structural parts in short times. In this paper, Coffin-Manson and Morrow (CMM) equation is employed to compare the fatigue life of WAAM stainless steel with the structural steels S355 and S690...

Alternative steel lattice structures for wind energy converters

Purpose: In the last decades, the demand and use of renewable energies have been increasing. The increase in renewable energies, particularly wind energy, leads to the development and innovation of powerful wind energy converters as well as increased production requirements. Hence, a higher supporting structure is required to achieve higher wind...
