  2. 1. A study on contact fatigue mechanisms

    Author : Bo Alfredsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : contact fatigue mechanism; spall; spalling; surface crakc; sub-surface crack; elesto-plastic indentation; contact compliance measurement; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Surfaces subjected to rolling and sliding contacts maysuffer from contact fatigue. This thesisdeals with solidmechanic aspects of contact fatigue including the descriptionand verificationof explaining mechanisms. The new mechanism forsurface initiated contact fatigue is basedon tensile surfacestresses from local asperity contacts. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the asperity point load mechanism for rolling contact fatigue

    Author : Johan Dahlberg; Bo Alfredsson; Sören Sjöström; KTH; []
    Keywords : Rolling contact fatigue; Spalling; Asperity contact; Point load; Micro-cracks; Traction; Applied slip; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Rolling contact fatigue is a damage process that may arise in mechanical applications with repeated rolling contacts. Some examples are: gears; cams; bearings; rail/wheel contacts. The resulting damage is often visible with the naked eye as millimeter sized surface craters. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermal impact on rolling contact fatigue of railway wheels

    Author : Sara Caprioli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway wheels; Thermomechanical finite element analysis; Frictional rolling contact; Thermal fracture; Tread braking; Rolling contact fatigue;

    Abstract : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a very common and costly damage mechanism for rails and wheels. This thesis investigates the influence of combined thermal and mechanical loading on RCF of railway wheels on the basis of numerical predictions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of manufacturing chain on mechanical performance : Study on heat treatment of powertrain components

    Author : Johan Fahlkrans; Arne Melander; Bengt Lindberg; Stefan Jonsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heat treatment; case hardening; carburising; induction hardening; gas quenching; tempering; straightening; fatigue strength; contact fatigue; fracture mechanics; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Economics and Management; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : The increasing demands for lightweight designs with high strength call for improved manufacturing processes regarding heat treatment of steel. The manufacturing process has considerable potential to improve the mechanical performance and to obtain more reliable results with less variation. READ MORE
