This work is about evaluating the behavior facing HIC of high strength steels by means of the Small Punch Test (SPT). It can be considered... Read More

The Small Punch Creep (SPC) test, first introduced by Parker in 1993, has been in continuous development ever since. Currently, it has a widespread utilization... Read More

The low-density values of light alloys have made them ideal candidates for reducing the weight of structural components. Given their relatively low melting points, it... Read More

The flame straightening of steel components is based on heating a local region of the part by means of a torch in order to induce... Read More

This paper presents the failure analysis of a cast iron pipe during the pressure test performed once it was already installed and before entering in... Read More

This paper presents an analysis of the cracking causes in a wind tower of a wind farm. The cracks were detected in several towers of... Read More

The objective of the final small punch test (SPT) is to determine the fracture properties of materials, such as fracture toughness, when not enough material... Read More

In recent years, great advances have been made in non-destructive or quasi-nondestructive test techniques for the determination of fracture toughness. One of the most interesting... Read More

This paper analyses the failure of a bolt which sustained a scaffolding during a construction process. The work performed begins with the fractographic analysis of... Read More

Much of our knowledge of the symbolic world of Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers is based on the study of the graphic representations found in Western European... Read More
