Comportamento a fatica dei giunti saldati in funzione della densità di energia di deformazione locale: influenza dei campi di tensione singolari e non singolari by Paolo Lazzarin

“…The volume becomes a circular sector under plane strain conditions, with the radius being about 0.3 mm for welded joints made of structural steel. The mean value of the SED mainly depends on the singular stress fields when the main plate thickness is large enough, whereas the influence of the T-stress component cannot be neglected in the case of thin-walled welded joints. …”

Occurrence of Vanadium in Belgian and European Alluvial Soils by V. Cappuyns, E. Slabbinck

“…Vanadium (V) is a naturally occurring trace element, but total concentrations in soils and sediments are also dependent on the parent material and might be influenced by anthropogenic activities (e.g., steel industry). Despite the fact that threshold values for V in soils and/or sediments exist in various European countries, in Belgium, V is not taken into account when the environmental quality of soils and sediments has to be evaluated, despite the existence of several (diffuse) sources for V. …”
