  1. 6. Crack propagation calculations in non-elastic metals

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Material- och solidmekanik

    Author : Máren Ingá Baer; [2018]
    Keywords : crack propagation; fracture mechanics;

    Abstract : It is important to know the lifespan of a component, thus services can be planed. At Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB (SIT AB) develop and produce gas and steam turbines, the turbines are heavily strained by thermal and centrifugal forces during their life span which lead to cracking.

  3. 7. Influence of Nitrocarburization on Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Properties : Material Characterization of Ductile Cast Iron for Exhaust Components

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Wännman Sofia; [2018]
    Keywords : Ductile cast iron; Nitrocarburizing; Thermo-mechanical fatigue;

    Abstract : The large number of vehicles operating on the roads cause high emissions and consequently a negative effect on the environment. When developing and optimizing internal combustion engines, certain requirements must be considered, which are environmental regulations, reduced fuel consumption and increased specific power.

  4. 8. Software Benchmark and Material Selection in an Exhaust Manifold : Thermo-mechanical fatigue simulation of an exhaust manifold in AVL Fire M

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Oskar Rombo; [2018]
    Keywords : thermomechanical fatigue; TMF; simulation; viscoplastic;

    Abstract : Today, there is a great focus on downsizing the engines, this means that the engines are made smaller in size but retain the same power. This in combination with the drive to increase the power of the engines has led to the engine components being exposed to high thermal loads. Today’s engines also use very high cylinder pressure.

  5. 9. Simulation of fatigue crack growth in coated cemented carbide milling inserts

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

    Author : André Tengstrand; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to create a nite element model that simulates fatigue crack growth in coated cemented carbide milling inserts. A typical fatigue wear of coated milling tools are comb crack formation on the cutting edges of the tool inserts. Comb cracks initiate from pre-existent cooling cracks in the coating layers.

  6. 10. Thermo-mechanical Fatigue of Electrical Insulation System in Electrical machine

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

    Author : Ahmed Elschich; [2017]
    Keywords : Thermal mechanical fatigue; Thermo-mechanical stress; electrical machine windings; electrical insulation system; slot insulation; slot liner; groundwall insulation; conductor insulation; turn insulation; stator;

    Abstract : Electrical machines in electrified heavy-duty vehicles are subjected to dynamic temperature loadings during normal operation due to the different driving conditions. The Electrical Insulation System (EIS) in a stator winding is aged as an effect of these dynamic thermal loads. READ MORE
