The PhD concerns the characterization of vibration fatigue in electrical steels under resonant loading conditions. This is a study that investigates how electrical steels used in equipment such as transformers and motors suffer from fatigue by vibration at resonant frequencies. The research analyzes how repeated vibration loads cause cracking and fractures, and includes experiments and models to improve the durability of these materials.
