2. 1. Fatigue Assessment of Cast Components : Influence of Cast Defects

   Author : Anders Björkblad; Jack Samuelsson; Gary Marquis; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cast nodular iron; fatigue; design rules; fracture mechanics; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract :  This thesis is on the fatigue assessment of cast components with special attention to defects. The primary material in view is nodular cast iron, but also cast steel is considered. However, the fatigue behaviour is in principle valid for general use on other cast metals. READ MORE

4. 2. Fatigue of Heavy-Vehicle Engine Materials : Damage Mechanisms, Laboratory Experiments and Life Estimation

   Author : Viktor Norman; Johan Moverare; Peter Skoglund; Daniel Leidermark; Tilmann Beck; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Due to increasing demands on sustainability exerted by end-costumers and policy makers, heavyvehicle manufacturers are urged to increase the engine efficiency in order to reduce the exhaust gas emission. However, increasing the efficiency is also associated with an elevated fatigue rate of the materials constituting the engine parts, which consequently reduces the engine service life. READ MORE
