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 ...
Cracks, repair and reconstruction of bucket wheel excavator slewing platform
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
This paper discusses the results of the investigation of occurrence of cracks in the structure of bucket wheel excavator (BWE) slewing platform, the repair procedure and the reconstruction of the slewing platform. The ...
Failure analysis of the end eye connection of the bucket wheel excavator portal tie-rod support
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
This paper describes the failure analysis results of the bucket wheel excavator (BWE) portal tie-rod support. The results of finite elements analysis (FEA) point out the occurrence of pronounced stress concentration, whereby ...
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. ...
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 ...
Failure resistance of drilling rig casing pipes with an axial crack
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Working conditions of casing pipes in drilling rigs can significantly influence the initiation and development of damage in the material, and therefore also the safe service of the entire system. In this work, an integrity ...
Failure analysis of an aircraft engine cylinder head
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The piston engine of the training aircraft malfunctioned during the flight due to the cracking of its cylinder head (CH), which is manufactured from an aluminum casting alloy. Based on the fractographic examination of the ...
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 ...
An investigation of the repetitive failure in an aircraft engine cylinder head
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Cylinder head (CH) failures in aircraft piston engine may have serious or fatal consequences to the safety of the crew and the aircraft. Moreover, when failure becomes undoubtedly repetitive and critical resulting in loss ...
