Reactive deposition epitaxy growth of iron silicide nanoparticles on Si(001)
Abstract Strain-induced, self-assembled iron silicide nanostructures were grown on Si(001) substrate by reactive deposition epitaxy. The phases and structures were characterized by scanning- and transmission electron microscopy, atomic force...

Characterization of fretting damage in a press-fitted shaft below the fretting fatigue limit
Abstract In this paper, the characterization of contact surface damage due to fretting in a press-fitted shaft below the fretting fatigue limit is proposed by experimental methods. A series of fatigue tests and interrupted fatigue tests on the small ...

On the quality-factor of micro-resonators
Abstract Three measures of the dynamic response of micro-resonators are considered: gain, sharpness of peak, and quality-factor which is measured by logarithmic decrement. Analytic expressions for the three measures are derived and it is shown that...

Fatigue of Zr-based Bulk Metallic Glass under Cyclic-torsion
Abstract Fatigue tests of Zr-based bulk metallic glass plates were conducted under cyclic-torsion, and the results were compared with those obtained under cyclic-bending and axial-loading. The fatigue strength of axial-loading was lower than that...

Towards a faster determination of high cycle fatigue properties taking into account the influence of a plastic pre-strain from selfheating measurements
Abstract The high cycle fatigue (HCF) is a major element for a great design of automotive parts. A wide part of the steel sheets for the automotive industry are stamped, sometimes deeply. During this operation, the steel is plastically strained in...
