Numerical determination and experimental validation of the fracture toughness of welded joints
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Most of the serious weldment failures lead to catastrophic consequences in terms of damage of other equipment, loss of production, and risks to workers' health and safety. Hence, there is motivation to find margin between ...
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 ...
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 ...
Numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation: A case study of defected steam pipeline
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In order to prevent the premature failure of steam pipeline produced of molybdenum-vanadium steel, the experimental tests were performed to measure fracture toughness and to determine the mechanical behaviour of cracked ...
Effect of LCF on behavior and microstructure of microalloyed HSLA steel and its simulated CGHAZ
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Numerous structural components made of high strength low-alloyed steels are often exposed to low-cycle fatigue loading during their exploitation life. In order to study the fatigue behavior of one grade of structural steels ...
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 ...
