  2. 1. The Influence of Residual Stresses on Constant and Variable Amplitude Fatigue Behaviour of Steel

    Author : Kamellia Dalaei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel; Relaxation; Residual stress; Variable Amplitude; Shot peening; Fatigue;

    Abstract : Subjected to dynamic loading, truck components are exposed to variable amplitude fatigue. The fatigue life of components is to a large degree controlled by the behaviour of the surface zones. READ MORE

  4. 2. QCM-D with focus on variations in oscillation amplitude

    Author : Malin Edvardsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : shear oscillation; actuator; Quartz crystal microbalance; amplitude; streptavidin; lipid vesicles; biosensor; colloidal particles; size distribution; QCM-D; protein binding; DNA hybridization; dual harmonic; lipid bilayer formation;

    Abstract : The QCM-D (quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring) technique is an increasingly popular tool in studies of molecular interactions at interfaces, e.g. binding/unbinding reactions at surfaces, studies of thin film properties, and conformational changes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fatigue crack growth experiments and analyses - from small scale to large scale yielding at constant and variable amplitude loading

    Author : Pär Ljustell; Fred L. Nilsson; Bo Alfredsson; Gunnar Härkegård; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fracture mechanics; fatigue crack growth; finite elements analysis; small scale yielding SSY ; large scale yielding LSY ; low cycle fatigue LCF ; crack tip opening displacement CTOD ; crack closure; potential drop method; constant amplitude load; variable amplitude load; inconel 718; stainless steel 316L;

    Abstract : This thesis is on fatigue crack growth experiments and assessments of fatigue crack growth rates. Both constant and variable amplitude loads in two different materials are considered; a nickel based super-alloy Inconel 718 and a stainless steel 316L. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling of cavity partial discharges at variable applied frequency

    Author : Cecilia Forssén; Roland Eriksson; Hans Edin; Peter H.F. Morshuis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; partial discharges; measurements; modelling; variable frequency; cavities; disc-shaped; polycarbonate; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Abstract : The presence of partial discharges (PD) in high voltage components is generally a sign of defects and degradation in the electrical insulation. To diagnose the condition of high voltage insulation, PD measurements is commonly used. READ MORE

  7. 5. Rolling Contact Fatigue of Railway Rails with Emphasis on Crack Initiation

    Author : Jonas Ringsberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; variable amplitude; crack closure; rolling contact fatigue; crack propagation; railway rails; damage accumulation; critical plane approach; crack initiation; plasticity; multiaxial fatigue;

    Abstract : Increased traffic density and the heavier axle loads of modern trains have led to severe problems with rolling contact fatigue (RCF) which cause initiation of surface cracks in railheads. In this thesis, a specific type of surface crack, the head check, is studied numerically with emphasis on fatigue crack initiation. READ MORE
