• Failure analysis of an aluminum extrusion aircraft wing component 

      Stamoulis K., Panagiotopoulos D., Pantazopoulos G., Papaefthymiou S. (2016)
      Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to deal with the failure analysis of a fractured spar stiffener, extruded from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, which was found in the central wing, trailing edge structure of a military ...
    • Mechanics models for hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms 

      Liang, Y.; Sofronis, P.; Dodds Jr, R. H.; Aravas, N. (2005)
      Of the many suggestions of hydrogen-induced degradation of engineering materials, two mechanisms appear to be viable in non-hydride forming systems: hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) and hydrogeninduced decohesion. ...
    • Numerical modelling of steel pipelines subjected to severe monotonic and cyclic straining 

      Coppola, T.; Fonzo, A.; Campanelli, F.; Varelis, G. E.; Chatzopoulou, G.; Karamanos, S. A. (2014)
      Offshore and onshore pipelines may experience extreme loading conditions during their installation and operation, both of monotonic and cyclic nature. Loading actions such as pipeline lateral displacements, tensioning, or ...
    • Rolling contact fatigue cracking in rails subjected to in-service loading 

      Haidemenopoulos G.N., Sarafoglou P.I., Christopoulos P., Zervaki A.D. (2016)
      Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is one of the most important failure mechanisms in rails with significant cost- and safety-related implications on the operation of railway systems. In this work, a metallurgical analysis of ...
