Failure analysis and redesign of the bucket wheel excavator two-wheel bogie
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
This paper discusses the cause of the failure in the vital part of the crawler travel gear of the bucket wheel excavator (BWE) - two-wheel bogie (TWB). The results of the finite element analysis (FEA) point out that the ...
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. ...
Research of rail traction shafts and axles fractures towards impact of service conditions and fatigue damage accumulation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
Traction shafts and axles of railway vehicles are designed to be safe and reliable in normal service conditions Accidental and unpredictable conditions including bad exploitation (rail tracks, maintenance and extreme long ...
Investigation of causes of fan shaft failure
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
Energy efficiency of thermal power plants depends on the vital plant elements' reliability levels. In order to preserve high level of energy efficiency, the vital elements' operational capability is continually monitored ...
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 ...
Analysis of the stress state of multilayer pressed joints
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
This paper presents the results of analytical, numerical and experimental research of the stress-strain states of multilayer pressed joints in the field of elastic deformations. Suitable numerical (FEM) and analytical ...
Calculated and experimental analysis of cause of the appearance of cracks in the running bogie frame of diesel multiple units of Serbian railways
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
In this paper an analysis of possible causes of crack occurrence on reconstructed diesel multiple units (DMU) exploited on sideline in Serbia was performed. Analyzed DMU were designed in the sixties of the last century in ...
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 ...
Condition and behaviour diagnostics of drive groups on belt conveyors
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Belt conveyors are complex systems with drive groups as functionally very important components. Their proper and reliable operational life is directly related to durability of the load-bearing steel structures. Drive units ...
