Determining the condition of material for tension bar bucket wheel excavator operating under dynamic working conditions
(European Conference on Fracture, ECF, 2012)
Since the bucket wheel excavator SRs 1200 had crashed with bucket wheel boom heavily damaged, there was an opportunity to analyze the real structure that was in operation for past 40 years. As there are 4 more SRs 1200 ...
The failure analysis of the star-separator of an aircraft cannon
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
This paper analyzes the causes of fracture of the double pipe aerial cannon stellate starseparator, which occurred during the fighting plane mission. The linear finite element method (FEM) is used to determine the stresses ...
Assessment of the effect of pitting corrosion on fatigue crack initiation in hydro turbine shaft
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2013)
Energy efficiency is a key issue worldwide, and not confined solely to the realm of engineers. Past failures of mechanical power system components must be examined carefully in order to minimise future occurrences and ...
XFEM simulation of fatigue crack growth in a welded joint of a pressure vessel with a reinforcement ring
(Springer, New York, 2019)
The numerical analysis of the behaviour of a pressure vessel with a reinforcement ring subjected to both static and dynamic load is presented in this paper. This research was based on a previous analysis which involved ...
The renewed TC12/ESIS technical committee - Risk analysis and safety of large structures and components
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The ESIS Executive Committee decided to nominate a new team for the leadership and management of the TC12/ESIS technical committee (TC), as well as update the TC name as "Risk Analysis and Safety of Large Structures and ...
CFD Calculation of Helicopter Tail Rotor Airloads for Fatigue Strength Experiments
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, Reston, 2017)
This work focuses on defining loads and fatigue life estimation of helicopter tail rotor blades. The original metal construction of these blades was replaced with a new construction of blades made from composite materials. ...
