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 ...
Explicit parametric method for optimal spur gear tooth profile definition
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2013)
The gear tooth profile has an immense effect on the main operating parameters of gear pairs (load capacity, working life, efficiency, vibrations, etc). In current engineering research and practice, there is a strong need ...
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 ...
Set-up of a pre-test mock-up experiment in preparation for the HCPB Breeder Unit mock-up experimental campaign
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
The complexity of the experimental set-up for testing a full-scaled Breeder Unit (BU) mock-up for the European Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB-TBM) has motivated to build a pre-test mock-up experiment ...
The Influence of Modifying Methods on the Quality of Eutectic and Hypereutectic Silumine for Diesel Engine Pistons
(International Journal of Cast Metals Research, 2013)
The results of the investigation of the influence of different modifiers (sodium, phosphorus, antimony and strontium) on the quality of AlSi12CuMgNi and AlSi18CuMgNi alloys, which are used for the production of pistons, ...
Application of Chromite in the Production of Refractory Coatings
(InterCeram: International Ceramic Review, 2013)
This work investigated the possibility of developing new chromite-based refractory coatings for hot metal casting applications. The coating composition and rheological properties were optimized by careful choice of binding ...
Synthesizing a new type of mullite lining
(Materials and Technology, 2013)
Various possibilities for developing new mullite-based refractory linings that can be applied in a casting process were investigated and are presented in this paper. An optimization of the refractory-lining composition ...
