Knowledge of fatigue crack growth under typical loading conditions of axles and shafts with rotating bending and steady torsion is therefore essential for design and maintenance purposes.
Thin-walled tubes are widely used as energy absorption components in vehicle crashworthiness design where axial crushing is one of the most typical loading conditions.
In this study a general methodology for life prediction of elastomeric components under these typical loading conditions was developed and illustrated for a passenger vehicle cradle mount.
Recently, the knowledge of fatigue crack growth under typical loading conditions of axles and shafts with rotating bending and steady torsion has been object of research in order to apply damage tolerance concepts, mainly for maintenance and failure analysis purposes.
A practical Ship Inner Shell Optimization Method (SISOM), the purpose of which is to improve the safety of the seagoing transport ship by decreasing the maximum Still Water Bending Moment (SWBM) of the hull girder under all typical loading conditions, is presented in this paper.
The presented results refer to a nominal pinion torque of 30 Nm and a nominal pinion speed of 1200 rpm (20 Hz), which is, in industrial applications, a very typical load condition for this type of gear units.
Finally, SCF formulae corresponding to typical load conditions are established for fatigue design of CHS-CFSHS T-joints.
Computational analyses were conducted to examine the stiffness and buckling onset load of the overall structure and the strengths of individual components (laminates, adhesive bondlines and rivets) under three typical load conditions, namely in-plane shear, axial compression and transverse compression.
Most fatigue loaded components or structures experience a variety of stress histories under typical operating loading conditions.
Simulation tests for typical thermal loading conditions, i.e., thermal high cycle fatigue (HCF) and thermal shock (or thermal low cycle fatigue, LCF) were carried out.
