Crack growth micro-mechanisms in the IN718 alloy under the combined influence of fatigue, creep and oxidation - Leo Prakash (International Journal of Fatigue, 2009)
This is one of the rare papers, which provides the mechanisms of the combined influence of fatigue, creep and oxidation, and link them to lifing methods of an important aerospace metal. It is published in the top ranked journal within the research are of fatigue (International Journal of Fatigue, 5 year Impact factor: 1.974, citations: 13). Furthermore, interest generated by this paper resulted in the credit as ‘Top25 Hottest Articles’ ( for the period October to December 2009).
