Failure analysis of the combat jet aircraft rudder shaft
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
This paper analyzes failure causes of the combat jet aircraft rudder shaft (RS) which occurred during the flight mission. A finite element method (FEM), utilized to determine the stress state of the RS subjected to hinge ...
Bucket chain excavator: Failure analysis and redesign of the counterweight boom supporting truss columns
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The supporting truss of the counterweight boom is a vital part of the bucket chain excavator's (BCE) superstructure. The occurrence and propagation of cracks in the supporting truss columns' heads may lead to BCE collapse. ...
Load-bearing steel structure diagnostics on bucket wheel excavator, for the purpose of failure prevention
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
The appearance of cracks on load-bearing steel structure of compact, hydraulic bucket wheel excavator was a perennial problem. Unfavourable stress concentration, inadequate geometry and structure of materials, inadequate ...
Model analysis of bucket wheel excavator SchRs 630 strength
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2021)
The possibilities of testing real constructions are often limited, especially in case of large constructions. The idea of model testing is to create a sub-scaled model in order to anticipate the behavior of the real ...
Failure investigation of the bucket wheel excavator crawler chain link
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The high mobility of open pit machines in heavy duty conditions provides fertile ground for the occurrence of various failures of the traveling mechanisms' vital parts such as chain links. The goal of the study presented ...
Influence of welded joint microstructures on fatigue behaviour of specimens with a notch in the heat affected zone
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In this paper, the results of determining the Paris law coefficients, C and m, are presented, based on the experimental data obtained by three-point bending testing of 8 welded joint specimens. The specimens were taken ...
Fracture mechanics and fatigue crack propagation in armor steel welds
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The welding process of armor steel is a complex process due to possible welding faults appearing in all zones of weld metal joint in the form of cracks and pores, as results of high percentage of carbon in the base metal. ...
Editorial - Damage, cracks and failure analysis
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2021)
The 1st Virtual European Conference on Fracture (VECF1) has gathered more than 300 researchers from all over the world. They have presented more 320 papers, including 9 plenary lectures in the scope of the main VECF1 topics. ...
Butt welded joints assessment after fire exposure
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The need of in service life of a steel structure after being exposed to fire raises the problem of strengthening or replacement of some structural elements. In many cases, after structural safety assessment, fire exposed ...
Effect of laser beam welded reinforcement on integral skin panel fatigue life
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In this paper, numerical analyses of fatigue crack growth in integral skin-stringer panel produced by means of laser beam welding (LBW) are presented along with fatigue results verified by previously conducted experiments. ...
