Characterization of cyclic behavior, deformation mechanisms, and microstructural evolution of MarBN steels under high temperature conditions (2019)
Journal Article
Benaarbia, A., Xu, X., Sun, W., Becker, A., & Osgerby, S. (2020). Characterization of cyclic behavior, deformation mechanisms, and microstructural evolution of MarBN steels under high temperature conditions. International Journal of Fatigue, 131, 105270. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2019.105270

In this paper, the low cycle fatigue behaviour of MarBN steels at elevated temperatures is discussed. Four cyclic loading waveforms were applied to investigate both the mechanical and microstructural features. The mechanical results exhibit continuou...

Thermal and stress analyses of a novel coated steam dual pipe system for use in advanced ultra-supercritical power plant (2019)
Journal Article
Sun, W., & Becker, A. (2019). Thermal and stress analyses of a novel coated steam dual pipe system for use in advanced ultra-supercritical power plant. International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, 176, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpvp.2019.103933

Improving the energy efficiency of advanced ultra-supercritical power plants, by increasing steam operating temperature up to 700?, can be achieved, at reduced cost, by using novel engineering design concepts, such as coated steam pipe systems manufa...

Modelling the effectiveness of oil lubrication in reducing both friction and wear in a fretting contact (2019)
Journal Article
Sun, W., Shipway, P., Wenjie, Q., Wang, M., & Li, X. (2019). Modelling the effectiveness of oil lubrication in reducing both friction and wear in a fretting contact. Wear, 426-427(Part A), 770-777. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2019.02.029

Lubrication is often employed in fretting contacts to reduce wear and stresses associated with high friction. Owing to the very small displacements associated with fretting, penetration of lubricating oils into the contact may not be effective. The e...

Experimental characterisation and computational modelling of cyclic viscoplastic behaviour of turbine steel (2019)
Journal Article
Hughes, J., Rae, Y., Benaarbia, A., Hughes, J., & Sun, W. (2019). Experimental characterisation and computational modelling of cyclic viscoplastic behaviour of turbine steel. International Journal of Fatigue, 124, 581-594. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2019.01.022

Fully reversed strain controlled low cycle fatigue and creep-fatigue interaction tests have been performed at ±0.7% strain amplitude and at three different temperatures (400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C) to investigate the cyclic behaviour of a FV566 marten...
