Fatigue Crack Growth Behaviour of Precipitate-Strengthened CuNi<sub>2</sub>Si Alloy under Different Loading Modes

In this study, fatigue crack tests of CuNi<sub>2</sub>Si alloys using the replica technique under symmetrical tensile-compression loading, and rotational-bending loading were carried out with the same nominal stress amplitude. Observation and analysis results indicate that under differen...
