Effect of small scale notches on the very high cycle fatigue of AISI 310 stainless steel

“…In addition, some studies focused on the characterization of PSBs in different materials. Man et al . for FCC and BCC alloys while Polak et al .…”

Quantitative Atomic Force Microscopy Characterization and Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Modeling of Heterogeneous Deformation in Commercial Purity Titanium

“…[12] Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an effective tool for characterizing fine-scale topography induced by different deformation processes. Since the 1990s, [13] AFM has been used to study surface relief produced during fatigue damage evolution in both face-centeredcubic [14,15] and body-centered-cubic [16][17][18] metals, providing quantitative data about surface relief evolution and the dislocation structures of persistent slip bands. AFM has been used to investigate the deformation process of nickel-base superalloys during compression tests [19] and duplex stainless steel in in-situ tensile tests, [20] and the number of dislocations responsible for a slip step has been determined based upon AFM data.…”

Study of the friction, adhesion and mechanical properties of single crystals, ceramics and ceramic coatings by AFM

“…24 AFM has become a powerful tool to detect structural changes at the nanoscale and its popularity between materials science researchers keeps on rising. 25 Recently, AFM was used to study surface deformation during cyclic loading [26][27][28][29][30][31] and also to study the intrinsic properties of ceramic materials. 32 Furthermore, AFM can not only image with high resolution but also measure forces involved in deformation.…”
