Abstract

The scatter in the fatigue life of the metallic structures seems to be mainly caused by internal defects of the material (porosity, inclusions as oxide films and carbon layers, grain boundaries, etc.). As discontinuities in geometry, defects cause stress concentration and are therefore [...]

Abstract

The bearing was a key component of the mining machine tire unloader machine and was subjected to random multiaxial stress during operation. Therefore, the life prediction of bearing was of safety guidance. In this paper, a bearing life prediction method based on the critical plane [...]
