Predicting dwell fatigue life in titanium alloys using modelling and experiment

Material fatigue is the most common source behind failures of mechanical structures. Here the authors combine transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction and discrete dislocation plasticity modeling to study the underlying mechanism of dwell fatigue in titanium...
