This paper displays the usage of Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) in the prediction of high-cycle fatigue behaviour in machine parts and systems. It is possible to gain real overview of stresses of machine parts by Finite ...

The objective of this paper is to give a new viewpoint in contact fatigue prediction in the case of high-cycle fatigue. The presented research is based on up-to-date methods and multidisciplinary approach, and enables ...

The fracture surface appearances are slowly changed through decade’s side by advantages in technology of steel production. Basic requirements for cleaner steels and lower energy consumption during production induce that ...

Turbine and generator rotors and shafts undergo high stresses during regular working life and, from a safety and operational aspect, are the most significant components of a power generation system. Depending on the ...

The contact fatigue is a localized phenomenon that occurs in highly stressed local zone of the material under the loaded contact region and as such is highly nonlinear problem. This phenomenon exists in almost all real ...

Commercial gas cylinders are common type of pressure vessels in many health care and technical facilities. Unexpected failures of gas cylinders occur despite of fact that the design, manufacture route, quality control, ...

Researchers in the field of fracture mechanics, today predominantly developing appropriate solution algorithms for problems of solid bodies with cracks. Problems in mechanics generally, related with fracture and fatigue ...
