EFFECTIVNESS OF THE FATIGUE CRITERIA FOR COMBINED BENDING – TORSION LOADING
Journal Title: Materials Engineering - Materialove inzinierstvo (MEMI) - Year 2010, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Most of mechanical components in the engineering are frequently subjected to combined loading, which can lead to sudden fatigue failure. In present work the fatigue life of plasma-nitrided and virgin specimens is studied. Specimens made of low-alloy high-strength steel. Specimens were subjected to an in-phase combined bending-torsion loading. The plasma-nitrided specimens have significantly improved fatigue resistance. The most relevant goal of this paper is to verify the efficiency of classical and advanced stress based multiaxial criteria. The criterion proposed by McDiarmid was found to be the most precise in the fatigue life prediction for virgin specimens. On the other hand, the Matake criterion was the most successful for nitrided specimens.

The pseudoelasticity and the shape memory effect in CoNiAl alloys
The cobalt alloys (close to the CoNiAl stoichiometry) are the less known shape memory alloys. Such behavior is consequence of the martensitic transformation. The pseudoelasticity is caused by the stress-induced martensit...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF EROSIVE WEAR ON THE HIGH CHROME CAST IRON IMPELLER OF SLURRY DISPOSAL PUMP USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
Erosive wear occurs on the impeller and volute casing of the slurry disposal pump due to the impact of the ash particles on the impeller with a high velocity. Due to erosive wear, pump life become very short. The service...
