A simple methodology to predict crack initiation life is described in the fatigue damage assessment of metallic structures typically used in ground vehicle industry. A phenomenological constitutive model is integrated with ...

In this investigation, thermal and structure finite element analysis has been employed to analyse the thermal stresses developed in Al2O3-SG, ZrO2-12%Si + Al and ZrO2-SG coatings subjected to thermal loading. Systems with ...

In automotive engineering, the wheels are one of the most critical components and their function is of vital importance n human safety. The cornering fatigue test is one of the traditional durability tests for wheel prototype ...
