The peening of fine steel beads with diameters less than 80 micrometers onto the surface of a spring (referred to as SS Treatment in this paper) was found to improve the fatigue limit of the spring ...

Strength of materials principles are applied to the stress analysis of machine components and structures. The effects of buckling and combined bending, torsion, and axial loadings are studied together ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have figured out how to capture and predict the strength of metallic materials subjected to cycling loading, or fatigue strength, in a matter ...
