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 ...
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 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 ...
FEM based fatigue crack growth predictions for spar of light aircraft under variable amplitude loading
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
In the last decades, the assessment of the service durability of aerospace components and assemblies has become an important segment of design, mostly because of the growing needs for the light-weight structures which will ...
Technological heredity - A decisive factor for tribological features of regenerated gears
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The reparatory hardfacing of damaged contact surfaces is the most reliable method of renewing the tooth shape, dimensions and operating characteristics of failed gears. Proper selection of method suitable for reparatory ...
Analysis of the spreader track wheels premature damages
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The superstructure of the ARs 2000 spreader leans on three crawlers of identical length, width and height. Serious damage to the track wheels threads occurred already during the spreader's travel from the erection site to ...
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 ...
Failure analysis of hydraulic turbine shaft
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
This paper describes the analysis of major failure of 28 MW horizontal hydro turbine shaft. The analysis of load carrying capacity of critical radius and fractography analysis are presented. Special emphasize is on ...
Investigation into the causes of fracture in railway freight car axle
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Railway axles are vital parts of railway. Their failure in the form of dynamic fracture is commonly of disastrous outcomes for railway vehicles. Accordingly, railway axles are designed to be highly reliable, while the ...
