  2. 1. Deformation and Fatigue Behaviour of Aluminium Alloys for High Specific Power IC Engine Applications

    Author : Elanghovan Natesan; 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; cylinder head; aluminium; constitutive models; thermo-mechanical fatigue; fatigue; ageing; mechanical behaviour; A356;

    Abstract : The development towards higher specific power and lower displacement engines in recent years has placed increasingly high thermal loads on the internal combustion engine materials. Further, the advent of hybrid power trains placing higher demands on quick starts and a rapid approach to maximum power necessitates the automotive industry to move towards a more robust computational thermo-mechanical fatigue life prediction methodology to develop reliable engines and reduce developmental costs.

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Railway wheel steel behaviour upon thermo-mechanical loadings

    Author : Erika Steyn; 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; residual stress; thermo-mechanical fatigue; railway wheel steel; pearlitic microstructure; severe block braking; repair welding;

    Abstract : Optimised railway maintenance techniques such as rail grinding and milling, or rail repair welding, are vital to more sustainable rail networks. As demands on the railway increases, the need to better understand the material behaviour during local heating events occurring during maintenance is amplified. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modeling and Testing of Insulation Degradation due to Dynamic Thermal Loading of Electrical Machines

    Author : Zhe Huang; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
    Keywords : thermal degradation; thermal cycle; dynamic temperature; thermal-mechanical; fatigue; electrical insulation system; accelerated testing; condition monitoring; electrical machine; electrified vehicles;

    Abstract : Electrical machines in electrified vehicles are subjected to dynamic loadings at different driving conditions, which results in dynamic temperatures. The aging of the Electrical Insulation System (EIS) in electrical machines is caused by these dynamic temperatures, namely high average temperatures and temperature cycles. READ MORE

  7. 5. Thermal Barrier Coatings for Diesel Engines

    Author : Anders Thibblin; Ulf Olofsson; Stefan Jonsson; Senad Dizdar; Uta Klement; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal barrier coatings; diesel engine; thermal cycling fatigue; heat flux; running-in; exhaust manifolds; yttria-stabilized zirconia; gadolinium zirconate; lanthanum zirconate; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Reducing the heat losses in heavy-duty diesel engines is of importance for improving engine efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Depositing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) onto engine components has been demonstrated to have great potential to reduce heat loss from the combustion chamber as well as from exhaust components.
