Sulla storia degli studi di frattura in Italia
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
History of studies of fracture is inherently intermingled with the history of technology developments. In the beginning very little was written about. We must credit Leonardo and Galileo as the first ones that wrote about the problem and on how to measure and foresee rupture loads. Later, nineteenth century italian scientists distinguished themselves in attempting to establish material laws and multiple stresses rupture criteria. A review of the works of past centuries italian scientists is presented, along with a critical comparison with the work of other past european scientists.

Robust design of a polygonal shaft-hub coupling
In this work, the Taguchi method is applied for the optimal choice of design parameter values for a polygonal shaft-hub coupling. The objective is to maximize a performance function, minimizing, at the same time,...
Effect of the model’s geometry in fretting fatigue life prediction
This paper analyses the influence that the type of geometry used to obtain the stress/strain fields in a cylindrical contact has on fretting fatigue life predictions. In addition, this work considers the effect th...
Dependence of the mechanical fracture energy of the polymeric composite material from the mixture of filler fractions
This paper for the first time presents an equation for calculating the mechanical fracture energy of the polymeric composite material (PCM) with regard to the basic formulation parameters. By means of the develop...
Effect of segregations on mechanical properties and crack propagation in spring steel
Considerable efforts have been made over the last decades to improve performance of spring steels, which would increase the service time of springs and also allow vehicles weight reduction. There are differen...
Experimental methods for the characterization of fatigue in microstructures
The mechanical fatigue behavior of gold microbeams is analyzed. Dedicated devices have been designed and built able to produce alternate loading on gold specimens; the electrostatic actuation is used as driving for...
