Influence of Residue Soil on the Properties of Fly Ash-Slag-Based Geopolymer Materials for 3D Printing.

This study investigates the impact of residue soil (RS) powder on the 3D printability of geopolymer composites based on fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag. RS is incorporated into the geopolymer mixture, with its inclusion ranging from 0% to 110% of the combined mass of fly ash and finely ground blast furnace slag. Seven groups of geopolymers were designed and tested for their flowability, setting time, rheology, open time, extrudability, shape retention, buildability, and mechanical properties. The results showed that with the increase in RS content, the fluidity of geopolymer mortar decreases, and the setting time increases first and then decreases. The static yield stress, dynamic yield stress, and apparent viscosity of geopolymer mortar increase with the increase in RS content. For an RS content between 10% and 90%, the corresponding fluidity is above 145 mm, and the yield stress is controlled within the range of 2800 Pa, which meets the requirements of extrusion molding. Except for RS-110, geopolymer mortars with other RS contents showed good extrudability and shape retention. The compressive strength of 3D printing samples of geopolymer mortar containing RS has obvious anisotropy.

Effects of cellulose nanofibrils on rheological and mechanical properties of 3D printable cement composites

This study explores the effects of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), a relatively new type of nanocellulose material, on the rheological and printability characteristics of cementitious mixtures, and the mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens. The rheology of the mortar mixtures with varying ratios of CNF is thoroughly assessed first. Two testing protocols, stress growth test and ramp test, are followed for rotational measurements using a shear rheometer with a building cell and vane motor. Stress growth tests are carried out to quantify the static yield stress of the cementitious mixtures. Ramp tests are conducted to determine dynamic yield stress and plastic viscosity of the mixes using the Bingham visco-plastic material model. As oscillatory measurements, amplitude sweep tests are carried out to determine the viscoelastic properties of the mortar mixes, including storage modulus and critical strain that are found to be essential for buildability. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is conducted to assess the effects of CNF on the hydration characteristics of the mixtures. The printability and the buildability of the mortar mixtures incorporating CNF are assessed using a 3D concrete printer equipped with a 10 mm diameter nozzle and screw pump mechanism. Tensile, flexural, and compressive strength tests are conducted to determine the mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens with varying ratios of CNFs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to conduct the microstructural analysis on fractured surfaces of the mechanically tested specimens. Results indicate that adding CNF at least 0.3 wt% of cement has a favorable effect on the rheological properties of cement composites.

INFLUENCE OF PROFESSIONAL FACTORS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF GYNECOLOGICAL PATHOLOGY IN FLIGHT ATTENDANCE IN CIVIL AVIATION

The literature review reflects the main possible gynecological pathologies in flight attendants, as well as the causes of their occurrence. These diseases are a serious problem for all women, but professionals working in the aviation industry are at a higher risk of developing them. The article focuses on the study of various factors that can contribute not only to the development of gynecological diseases, but also to breast cancer, as well as venous thrombosis in flight attendants. Risk factors include long-term exposure to ionizing radiation, static stress, jet lag, and chronic stress. The review includes an analysis of existing studies related to the impact of occupational exposure on the health of flight attendants, and also suggests possible measures for the prevention and treatment of emerging pathology, which can serve as a basis for the development of effective programs to preserve the health of women working in civil aviation.

Modelling dynamic fracture and fragmentation of rocks under multiaxial coupled static and dynamic loads with a parallelised 3D FDEM

In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) based simulator, which enables the robust simulation of full-scale triaxial Hopkinson bar (Tri-HB) testing system, including the capture of fracture and fragmentation processes of rock specimens as well as the detection and analysis of generated rock fragments, is developed for investigating the dynamic responses of rocks subjected to multiaxial coupled static and dynamic loads. An innovative two-step approach is proposed to first efficiently achieve the static stress state in the entire Tri-HB system and then apply dynamic loading to the system. The proposed approach with the schemes of mass scaling and local damping can significantly reduce the run time for static computation involving cohesive elements and complex contact mechanics in the framework of explicit time-integration. The developed program is well validated by achieving dynamic stress equilibrium in the Tri-HB system and comparing the simulated stress wave profiles with those from laboratory experiments. Then, the progressive dynamic fracture and fragmentation processes of rocks under different static stress conditions in a full-scale Tri-HB system are investigated, which vividly exhibit the confinement dependence of the dynamic behaviours of rocks in the testing system. It is found that, even with the same loading rate, separate input parameter sets for rock need to be established in FDEM for different confinement conditions to capture the actual rate dependent behaviour of rock. Further studies are also conducted to investigate the effect of interfacial friction on the fracture behaviour, and the results indicate that higher interfacial frictions significantly disturb the dynamic stress variations and the true rock behaviour in the system. Through high performance computing of 3D FDEM, this study is expected to contribute to the understanding of dynamic responses of rocks subjected to multiaxial coupled static and dynamic loads in deep underground engineering.

Research on S-type fiber Bragg grating acceleration sensor for low-frequency vibration monitoring.

The acquisition of low-frequency vibration signals in earthquake exploration is a crucial aspect of seismic exploration technology. Addressing the difficulty current fiber optic sensors face in monitoring low-frequency vibrations, this paper proposes an acceleration sensor based on S-type Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). First, an FBG acceleration sensor model is established and theoretically analyzed. Then, the impact of structural parameters on the sensor's sensitivity and natural frequency is examined, employing the ANSYS finite element analysis software for static stress and modal simulation analysis. Finally, a prototype is developed, and a low-frequency vibration testing system is assembled to test the sensor's performance. The results show that the sensor has a natural frequency of 34Hz, operates in a frequency band of 0.2-14Hz, has a dynamic range of 63.5 dB, a lateral interference of less than 3%, a sensitivity of ∼274.45 pm/g, good linearity, and is insensitive to temperature. The findings provide a reference for the development of similar sensors and further exploration of the lower frequency limit.

Potential of Reusing 3D Printed Concrete (3DPC) Fine Recycled Aggregates as a Strategy towards Decreasing Cement Content in 3DPC.

This paper explores the new potential strategy of using fine recycled aggregates (fRA) derived from waste 3D printed concrete (3DPC) as a substitute for cement in additive manufacturing. This study hypothesizes that fRA can optimize mixture design, reduce cement content, and contribute to sustainable construction practices. Experimental programs were conducted to evaluate the fresh and hardened properties, printability window, and buildability of 3DPC mixes containing fRA. Mixes with replacement rates of cement with fRA by 10 vol%, 20 vol%, 30 vol%, 40 vol%, and 50 vol% were produced. A comprehensive experimental protocol consisting of rheological studies (static and dynamic yield stress), dynamic elastic modulus determination (first 24 h of hydration), flexural and compressive strengths (2 d and 28 d), and an open porosity test was performed. The obtained results were verified by printing tests. In addition, an economic and environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of the mixes was performed. The results indicate that up to 50 vol% cement replacement with fRA is feasible, albeit with some technical drawbacks. While fRA incorporation enhances sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions and material costs, it adversely affects the printability window, green strength, setting time, and mechanical properties, particularly in the initial curing stages. Therefore, with higher replacement rates (above 20 vol%), potential optimization efforts are needed to mitigate drawbacks such as reduced green strength and buildability. Notably, replacement rates of up to 20 vol% can be successfully used without compromising the overall material properties or altering the mixture design. The LCA analysis shows that reducing the cement content and increasing the fRA addition results in a significant reduction in mix cost (up to 24%) and a substantial decrease in equivalent CO2 emissions (up to 48%). In conclusion, this study underscores the potential of fRA as a sustainable alternative to cement in 3D printed concrete.

Hierarchical bio-inspired design and fabrication of all-dimensional superhydrophobic ultra-lightweight high-volume fly ash cement foams using novel ultrasonic-assisted siloxane-encapsulated pickering emulsions

Ultra-lightweight foamed cement (ULFC) exhibits super-high porosity and excellent thermal-insulation capabilities. However, the thermodynamic instability and high water-absorptivity of ULFC with high-volume fly ash have restricted its large-scale application. Superhydrophobic technology can significantly improve the substrates’ hydrophobicity, among which the nanocoating is a popular option but the water-repellent layer may be easily destroyed due to the mechanical damage. Therefore, the intrinsic superhydrophobization becomes a promising alternative to the coating scheme. Here, the internal superhydrophobic ULFC was formulated through introducing the ultrasonic-assisted siloxane-encapsulated Pickering emulsions, in which two Pickering structures containing n-dodecyltrimethoxysilane were stabilized by hydrophobic SiO2 and C–S–H nanoparticles, respectively. Compared with the SiO2 nanoparticles-stabilized dispersion, the droplets of C–S–H nanoparticles-stabilized Pickering emulsion were more stable and controlled-release in cement hydration environment. As such, the incorporation of the latter showed no negative impact on the setting times and static yield stress of the interstitial matrix, optimizing the homogeneity, mechanical strength and heat conductivity of ULFC. The combination of nanoscale foam stabilizer and Pickering emulsions could form the hierarchical waterproof structure with low surface free energy at the gas-solid interfaces, and the multiscale siloxane-grafted intertwined hydration products were responsible for the inner superhydrophobicity of ULFC. Therefore, under the water vapor-saturated environment, the water absorption of superhydrophobic samples showed only a slight increase as a function of time and the ULFC was still hydrophobic with a reduction of apparent water contact angle from 154.6° to 137.8°. From energy consumption analysis, the all-dimensional superhydrophobic ULFC had a potential application in heat-insulation building.

Design and implementation of switched capacitor-based high gain converter

ABSTRACT This paper suggests a high gain Active Switched Capacitor, Switched Inductor, and Voltage Multiplier (ASC-SI-VM) based transformerless DC-DC boost converter to improve the static voltage gain, decrease the voltage stress and current stress of semiconductor devices and accomplish maximum efficiency. The switched inductor cell ensures a continuous source current, and the multiplier cell boosts the output voltage. The voltage conversion ratio analysis, stress expressions and power loss analysis of all the devices are derived. Comparisons are made between the proposed ASC-SI-VM converter topology and existing topologies in terms of static gain, voltage and current stress, and component count. The efficiency of 94.01% is attained for a 20 V/200 V voltage rating and a rated power of 100 W. The experimental topology of the proposed ASC-SI-VM converter is created to confirm the simulated and theoretical values.

A comprehensive review on fresh and rheological properties of 3D printable cementitious composites

The undeniable potential of 3D printing technology to revolutionize global manufacturing processes has led to the emergence of advanced, digitalized, and fully automated construction techniques. Despite the growing interest in this technology, a significant challenge still exists in the development of cement-based printing material due to the complex interaction of various fresh and rheological property parameters. This review comprehensively explores fundamental fresh properties (flowability, buildability, extrudability, pumpability and open time) and rheological properties (static yield stress, dynamic yield stress, plastic viscosity) essential for the formulation of 3D printable cementitious composites, with and without fibres. The results obtained from different rheometers for successful 3D printed mixes are also summarized, highlighting variation in recorded values. Moreover, the review thoroughly investigates factors affecting both fresh and rheological properties, such as the type of supplementary cementitious materials, fibre type and dosage, superplasticizer, and viscosity-modifying admixture. It also identifies the clear impact of these parameters and further recommends the optimal range of some properties, such as a flowability value between 160 and 200 mm, to achieve desirable 3D printability of cementitious composites. Overall, this review offers valuable insights for developing new mix compositions suitable for 3D printing and serves as a useful tool in establishing guidelines for 3D printable cementitious composite materials, which are currently lacking but crucial for research, development, and application in this field.

Accelerated corrosion tests of a contact pair austenitic stainless steel – titanium alloy

The results of accelerated corrosion tests of a pair of austenitic stainless steel — titanium alloy under conditions of elevated temperatures and high concentrations of corrosive agents are presented, conditions for the developing the mechanism of local corrosion being the same. The proposed approach included provoking the appearance of microstress concentrators by three-point loading of test samples with subsequent forced development of local types of corrosion through simultaneous exposure to an increased concentration of corrosive agents and temperatures at a fixed exposure in an autoclave. The results of modeling the corrosion process in a titanium alloy being in contact with stainless steel are assessed proceeding from the data obtained from metallographic studies of the state of surface layers of the metal and the morphology of corrosion products on prepared sections of the surface of templates cut from the samples under study. We considred a pair of steel 08Kh18N10T — titanium alloy VT-5. It is shown that the contact of samples under conditions of accelerated corrosion tests does not lead to a significant development of local types of corrosion of the titanium alloy. On the contrary, analysis of the state of the surface layers of the samples of stainless steel revealed the presence of deep corrosion pits, triggering the intergranular corrosion. In this case, corrosion of austenitic steel, both in the presence and in the absence of contact with titanium, proceeded in three stages: the initiation and fusion of pitting; formation of knife corrosion ulcers; propagation of intergranular cracks into the depth of steel. The proposed methodology of corrosion testing can be used to predict the possible nature of the development of metal corrosion under operating conditions that form local zones of static stresses in structural materials, and for prompt response to extend the design life of the equipment at thermal and nuclear power facilities.

Resist Thermal Shock Through Viscoelastic Interface Encapsulation in Perovskite Solar Cells

Enhancing the lifetime of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is one of the essential challenges for their industrialization. Although the external encapsulation protects the perovskite device from the erosion of moisture and oxygen under various harsh conditions. However, the perovskite devices still undergo static and dynamic thermal stress during thermal and thermal cycling aging, respectively, resulting in irreversible damage to the morphology, component, and phase of stacked materials. Herein, the viscoelastic polymer polyvinyl butyral (PVB) material is designed onto the surface of perovskite films to form flexible interface encapsulation. After PVB interface encapsulation, the surface modulus of perovskite films decreases by nearly 50%, and the interface stress range under the dynamic temperature field (−40 to 85 °C) drops from −42.5 to 64.8 MPa to −14.8 to 5.0 MPa. Besides, PVB forms chemical interactions with FA+ cations and Pb2+, and the macroscopic residual stress is regulated and defects are reduced of the PVB encapsulated perovskite film. As a result, the optimized device's efficiency increases from 22.21% to 23.11%. Additionally, after 1500 h of thermal treatment (85 °C), 1000 h of damp heat test (85 °C & 85% RH), and 250 cycles of thermal cycling test (−40 to 85 °C), the devices maintain 92.6%, 85.8%, and 96.1% of their initial efficiencies, respectively.

Behavior of group of geosynthetic encased granular piles with tire chips- aggregates mixture under static and cyclic loading – A model study

The current study addresses the dual challenges of improving the performance of soft soil beds subjected to static and cyclic stresses and managing the environmental impact of waste tire disposal. This research contributes valuable insights into the sustainable use of recycled tire chips in granular pile construction, coupled with the efficacy of combi-grid encasement for improved soft ground under static and cyclic loading conditions. A series of laboratory model tests were carried out on a group of granular piles to examine the principal parameters, such as the selection of geosynthetic materials and cyclic loading characteristics, including cyclic loading amplitude (qca) and cyclic loading frequency (f). The granular pile composition consists of (25% tire chips + 75% aggregates). The performance of granular piles on improved ground is assessed based on the settlement reduction ratio (Sc,r), accumulation of excess pore water pressure (Pexc), and stress concentration ratio (n). The key findings from static model tests are that the load-bearing capacity is significantly increased with installing a group of ordinary granular piles (= 58%) and substantially increased with combi-grid encasement (= 335%). The effectiveness of ordinary granular piles (OGP) in enhancing the performance of a soft soil bed becomes greater when subjected to lower cyclic loading frequencies (f) and smaller cyclic loading amplitudes (qca). The incorporation of combi-grid encasement greatly enhanced the cyclic performance of a group of granular piles by substantially minimizing cyclic-induced settlement (Sc) across both principle parameters f and qca. This study also examines the increased cyclic stresses on the improved soft bed, resulting in the accumulation of excess pore water pressure (Pexc) development, which is reduced to a greater extent with the help of combi-grid encasement across both principle parameters.

Behavior of Reinforced Lightweight Concrete Slab with Initial Cracks

The flexural behavior of lightweight concrete two-way slabs repaired or strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets is the subject of this study. The experiment included five reinforced lightweight concrete slab specimens with dimensions of 1000 mm in length, 1000 mm in width, and 120 mm in thickness. Tested one specimen without any strengthening and reinforced another specimen with a single layer of CFRP. The other specimens were repaired with a single layer of CFRP, applying damage ratios of 50%, 60%, or 70% of the ultimate load. Intentionally designed each slab to collapse under bending forces and maintained comparable dimensions. According to the experiment results, changing the degree of damage from 70% to 50% increases the ultimate load capacity by about 17.7%, and the ultimate deflection decreases by about 31.4%. CFRPs have the potential to fix structural damage under static stress testing conditions. However, it is essential to make sure that they stick well to surfaces that do not have suitable geometric properties or have been deformed. CFRP sheets effectively repaired the specimens, increasing the failure stress of the reinforced concrete slabs and preventing the spread of cracks.

Midcrustal moderate-size earthquake occurrence in paleovolcanic structures off Jeju Island, South Korea

A series of midcrustal moderate-size earthquakes occurred in the Korean Peninsula recently. A midcrustal ML4.9 strike-slip earthquake with a fault-plane strike in N-S occurred on December 14, 2021 at the southwestern offshore region of Jeju Island, South Korea. The fault plane orientation and slip sense (faulting mechanism) hardly conform with the regional stress field. The deep focal depth and N-S directional strike-slip motion require transient changes in the medium properties and stress field. Strong ground motions of the midcrustal earthquake induce preferential dynamic stress changes in NE-SW direction, triggering subsequent aftershocks in NE-SW-directional adjacent faults. Both the static and dynamic stress changes caused by the mainshock contribute to the aftershock sequence. The number and focal depths of aftershocks decrease with distance from the mainshock. The different fault-plane orientations between the mainshock and aftershocks suggest earthquake nucleations in independent fault structures. The mainshock occurred in aseismic midcrustal paleovolcanic structure on the outskirt of a high seismicity region. The ML4.9 earthquake suggests possible nucleation of earthquake in seismically-inactive paleotectonic structures, successively incurring aftershocks conforming to the ambient stress. The mainshock and aftershocks suggest that paleotectonic structures may behave as source structures to spawn earthquakes.

Static and dynamic stress analysis of different crown materials on a titanium base abutment in an implant-supported single crown: a 3D finite element analysis

BackgroundThis Finite Element Analysis was conducted to analyze the biomechanical behaviors of titanium base abutments and several crown materials with respect to fatigue lifetime and stress distribution in implants and prosthetic components.MethodsFive distinct designs of implant-supported single crowns were modeled, including a polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polymer-infiltrated ceramic network, monolithic lithium disilicate, and precrystallized and crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium silicates supported by a titanium base abutment. For the static load, a 100 N oblique load was applied to the buccal incline of the palatal cusp of the maxillary right first premolar. The dynamic load was applied in the same way as in static loading with a frequency of 1 Hz. The principal stresses in the peripheral bone as well as the von Mises stresses and fatigue strength of the implants, abutments, prosthetic screws, and crowns were assessed.ResultsAll of the models had comparable von Mises stress values from the implants and abutments, as well as comparable maximum and minimum principal stress values from the cortical and trabecular bones. The PEEK crown showed the lowest stress (46.89 MPa) in the cervical region. The prosthetic screws and implants exhibited the highest von Mises stress among the models. The lithium disilicate crown model had approximately 9.5 times more cycles to fatique values for implants and 1.7 times more cycles to fatique values for abutments than for the lowest ones.ConclusionsWith the promise of at least ten years of clinical success and favorable stress distributions in implants and prosthetic components, clinicians can suggest using an implant-supported lithium disilicate crown with a titanium base abutment.

Experimental study on the damage characteristics of cyclic disturbance and acoustic emission characteristics of different types of sandstones under high stress in deep mines

AbstractThree sandstone specimens common in rock engineering were selected to study the differences in the mechanical properties of rocks with different lithologies. The development and expansion of the internal cracks in the specimens were observed by combining the simulation system with the acoustic emission system. Through the combination of dynamic and static stresses, the deformation and damage of rocks under deep rock excavation and blasting were simulated. As the results show, the acoustic emission events of specimens with different lithologies under combined static and dynamic cyclic loading can be roughly divided into three phases: weakening, stabilizing, and surging periods. In addition, the acoustic emission characteristics of specimens with different lithologies show general consistency in different compression phases. The degree of fragmentation of specimens increases with the applied stress level; therefore, the stress level is one of the important factors influencing the damage pattern of specimens. The acoustic emission system was used to simulate the deformation and damage of rocks subjected to deep rock body excavation and engineering blasting. Cyclic dynamic perturbations under sinusoidal waves with a frequency of 5 Hz, a loading rate of 0.1 mm/min, a cyclic amplitude of 5 MPa, and a loading rate of 0.1 mm/min were applied to the three rock samples during the experiments. Among them, the fine‐grained sandstones are the most sensitive to the sinusoidal cyclic perturbation, followed by the muddy siltstone and the medium‐grained sandstones. On this basis, the acoustic emission energy release characteristics were analyzed, and the waveform characteristics in the damage evolution of the specimen under dynamic perturbation were studied by extracting the key points and searching for the main frequency eigenvalues.

METHODOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT FOR RESEARCHING CORROSION CRACKING PROCESSES IN CASTING ALLOYS

Corrosion cracking is the destruction of metal under static stresses and an aggressive environment. Corrosion fatigue is destruction of the metals and the alloys under the impact of cyclic mechanical pressure and aggressive environment simultaneously.Stress corrosion is the least studied and systematized in terms of literature data on the impact of various aggressive environment (type, temperature, and concentration), composition and structure of the material, mode of heat treatment, method of obtaining and cleaning the casting, methodology for determination of corrosion under stress, as well as equipment for carrying out similar studies. The purpose of this paper is to present the methodology and equipment developed for corrosion cracking testing of cast alloys.

Evaluation of stress-loaded ferromagnetic structures using the magnetic recording method and extended signal analysis

This paper presents a new method of analysis of results obtained using the Magnetic Recording Method (MRM), which was applied to inspect tensile stress-loaded ferromagnetic samples. The MRM method comprised a two-step procedure. In the first step, a strictly defined magnetic pattern is recorded on the samples using an array of permanent magnets, and then the original residual magnetization is measured. Next, the samples are subjected to static stress. In the second step, the residual magnetization measurement is repeated. Comparative analysis of the measurement results allows for an accurate and unambiguous assessment of applied stress in steel components. Moreover, the magnetization was measured again after three years to investigate the effect of time on magnetization patterns. The study confirms that the method is stable and has a negligible time dependence.

The Response of Taupō Volcano to the M7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake

AbstractSeveral studies suggest that large earthquakes (M > 7.0) can act as external triggers of volcanic unrest, and even eruption. This triggering is attributed to either ground shaking (dynamic stresses) or to permanent ground deformation (associated with static stress changes). However, large earthquakes are rare and testing triggering hypotheses has proven difficult. We use geodetic data to show that the 13 November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake (Mw 7.8) triggered local deformation of up to 11 mm at Taupō volcano, 500 km away, which lasted for approximately twelve days. Using elastic geodetic models, we infer that the observed deformation was caused by either aseismic fault slip or a dike intrusion. We then use strong motion data from the surrounding area to show that the Kaikōura earthquake caused maximum dynamic stress changes in the range of 0.15–0.9 MPa in the vicinity of Taupō volcano and conclude that these dynamic stress changes triggered local faulting or dike activity and the associated deformation at Taupō volcano.

Rapid determination of corrosion under fatigue loading based on tensile loading

This study tests the hypothesis that corrosion properties under fatigue loading can be evaluated based on simple tensile tests without the need to perform costly and time-consuming corrosion fatigue tests. Two types of stainless steel 304L specimens, i.e., smooth and compact tension (CT), are exposed to static and fatigue loading in two aqueous solutions with different NaCl concentrations. Strain analysis, surface roughness measurements, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), and Tafel polarization techniques are employed to unveil the effects of mechanical stress and strain on the corrosion behavior at micro and macro scales, a phenomenon known as electro-chemo-mechanical interaction. Finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to calculate the stress and strain field in the specimens. Digital image correlation (DIC) is used to validate the FEA results. The results indicate a strong correlation between the static stress, strain, and surface roughness with the corrosion rate. In particular, the study reveals a strong correlation between corrosion current (and corrosion current density) under fatigue loading with that under static tensile loading, thereby providing a means to evaluate the corrosion properties under fatigue loading solely from static tests. Fatigue loading leads to a progressive reduction in the corrosion potential as the number of cycles increases. The corrosion current density, icorr, is linked to the stress and accumulated plastic strain by an empirical equation, shedding lights on the complex electro-chemo-mechanical interaction. Additionally, opportunities for future research are discussed.
