Reversion treatments are a way to improve the mechanical response of metastable austenitic stainless steels by means of grain refinement. To effectively apply those treatments, the steel must be previously deformed to ...

In this paper R-ratio effects on fatigue crack growth near threshold region of a metastable austenitic stainless steel (MASS) in two different conditions, i.e. annealed and cold rolled, is investigated. The authors present ...

The microstructure design and the development of predictive approaches exploiting the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect require a keen understanding of the kinetics governing the strain-induced martensitic ...

The mechanical behaviour of a metastable austenitic stainless steel has been studied by means of nanoindentation of individual grains. Hardness, elastic modulus and estimation of wear resistance were determined as a function ...

El trabajo consiste en el desarrollo computacional de interfaces visuales en tiempo real con aplicaciones a su uso en laboratorios de tecnología estructural. Se utilizan datos en abierto a partir de mediciones con sensores ...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the application of global plastic design methods, not currently allowed in European specification provisions, to stainless steel rectangular and square hollow section continuous ...

Acknowledging the potential of system-based design approaches, most international design standards for steel structures include preliminary versions of such alternative design methods. The Direct Design Method (DDM) is one ...

Stainless steel alloys exhibit a nonlinear stress-strain behaviour which can be precisely described by the Ramberg-Osgood material model up to the ultimate stress. However, there is no consensus on the ductile fracture ...
