This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in [Engineering Failure Analysis, Volume 16 (2009) 2235–2244. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfailanal.2009.03.014]. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process. © 2022 Elsevier Ltden10.1016/j.engfailanal.2022.106586info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessErratum1402-s2.0-85134625637WOS:000834530700003Q1Q1
