In this paper the fatigue behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy coated with a TiN arc-deposited PVD film was studied. Rotating bending tests (R = -1) were carried out on standard “hourglass” specimens to evaluate the fatigue limit at 200000 load cycles. Conventional and notched (120° Vnotch transversal to the rotating axis at the minimum cross section area) specimens were tested, both coated and uncoated, to investigate the effect of the coating on the fatigue limit of the titanium alloy, with and without the surface notch. Fracture surfaces were observed by SEM. The coating did not improve the titanium alloy fatigue life.

Fatigue behavior of plain specimens of low carbon steel subjected to small tensile prestrain is investigated through rotating bending tests and the mechanism of the decrease of fatigue limit due to the prestrain is discussed. It is found that 3 percent prestraining causes the acceleration of both slip and crack initiations, and increases the growth rate of a small surface crack of less than 0.3 mm. It also decreases the fatigue limit. If prestrained material is aged, the fatigue limit increases. These effects of the small prestrain are explained based on the unpinning of locked dislocations due to the prestrain.

In this paper the influence of DCT (Deep Cryogenic Treatment) and a CrN arc-deposited PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating on the fatigue behaviour of AISI 302 stainless steel was studied. Rotating bending tests were carried out on standard specimens to evaluate the fatigue limit at 300000 load cycles. The single and the combined effects of the two treatments were investigated by addressing untreated, PVD-coated and both PVD-coated and DC-treated specimens to the tests. All the series of specimens were also tested statically and laboratory analyses including fracture surface SEM observations and hardness measurements were performed.

This work focuses on the fatigue behaviour of notched Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy in inert environment. V-notched flat samples were cycled under axial fatigue (R = 0.1) under inert conditions by immersion in paraffin oil. A step-loading technique was used to determine the fatigue limit at the complete fracture for a constant fatigue life of 2×105load cycles. The results were compared with previous data obtained with tests carried out in air and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Fracture surfaces were examined under stereoscopic microscope.

7075-T6 is one of the most performing aluminium alloys, considering its mechanical properties and good fatigue behaviour. In this work the influence of WC/C and DLC PVD coatings on the fatigue behaviour was investigated by rotating bending tests at 2·105cycles. The fatigue behaviour of polished and untreated specimens was considered as reference. In order to decouple the effect of the deposition temperature from the coating one, some uncoated specimens were submitted to the thermal cycles of the WC/C and DLC processes and then tested under fatigue loading. Fatigue life was determined using a step-loading technique. SEM micrographs of the fracture surfaces were taken in order to characterize the fatigue mechanisms of coated and uncoated specimens.

The article brings up data on sediment diversity at watercourse bed and on their movement in the form of ridges. The ridge form movement of sediment leads to the reduction of reservoir volume and canal cross section area, which has an effect on their carrying capacity, filling of pump station forechambers and hydroelectric station pressure basins with sediment. The presence of sediment in flow leads to abrasive deterioration of pumps, water motors and pressure pipes and to other negative consequences. Research work tasks on the study of these effects have been examined with the purpose of preventing such negative consequences. On the basis of laboratory data diagrams and relationships were obtained for ridge length, height and movement velocity vs. sediment hydraulic and geometric sizes.

The cropping of six sweet cherry cultivars that originated in the Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology at Holovousy, and a standard one, ‘Burlat’, were evaluated on three rootstocks in the period of 2007–2017. Trees planted in a spacing of 1.5 m × 5.0 m were trained as tall spindle axes utilising their natural tendency to develop a central leader. On the standard rootstock, P-TU-2, ‘Tim’ was the most productive with a mean total harvest of 47.6 kg per tree. ‘Sandra’ yielded the most on the PHLC rootstock with 56.2 kg per tree and ‘Helga’ yielded the most on Gisela 5 with a mean total harvest of 55.9 kg per tree. The mean impact of the rootstock on the tree vigour, measured upon the trunk cross section area, ranged from 148.4 cm2 on the standard rootstock P-TU-2 to 114.1 cm2 on the PHLC and 125.2 cm2 on Gisela 5 . On the standard rootstock P-TU-2, the most vigorous one according to this criterion was ‘Jacinta’ (178.0 cm2) whereas ‘Justyna’ (109.7 cm2) was the least vigorous. On the PHLC, the most vigorous was ‘Sandra’ (147.2 cm2) and the least was ‘Amid’ (94.0 cm2). The other tree characteristics were mainly dependant on the cultivar and minimally, or not at all, influenced by the rootstock vigour.
