Elevated temperature data for powder metallurgy alloy René 95 generated in vacuum are presented to demonstrate that the life differences observed between surface and internally initiated failures are due to an environmental effect. The transition in behavior from a mode at low stress dominated by internal initiations to a surface dominated mode at high stress is quantitatively described in terms of both a weakest-link model and a local strain relationship. A fatigue failure mechanism is provided that explains that the natural selection of initiation site is based upon the concept that the site displaying the highest local cyclic plastic strain is the location where fatigue initiates.

Sample allocation and selection technology is of great significance in the test plan design of prognostics validation. Considering the existing researches, the importance of prognostics samples of different moments is not considered in the degradation process of a single failure. Normally, prognostics samples are generated under the same time interval mechanism. However, a prognostics system may have low prognostics accuracy because of the small quantity of failure degradation and measurement randomness in the early stage of a failure degradation process. Historical degradation data onto equipment failure modes are collected, and the degradation process model based on the multi-stage Wiener process is established. Based on the multi-stage Wiener process model, we choose four parameters to describe different degradation stages in a degradation process. According to four parameters, the sample selection weight of each degradation stage is calculated and the weight of each degradation stage is used to select prognostics samples. Taking a bearing wear fault of a helicopter transmission device as an example, its degradation process is established and sample selection weights are calculated. According to the sample selection weight of each degradation process, we accomplish the prognostics sample selection of the bearing wear fault. The results show that the prognostics sample selection method proposed in this article has good applicability.

The article deals with the issues of renovation (renewal) of the agricultural machinery and tractor fleet by developing models for developing an optimal strategy for its technical re-equipment. The optimal service life of machines in operation is considered as the most important prerequisite for the scientific management of such an update. The main criterion for the optimal strategy is the effectiveness of replacing a particular machine with a new one. The relevance of solving this problem is determined by the urgent need to plan the pace of technical re-equipment of the MTF, taking into account the presence of various economic restrictions.

In most national and international codes for durability design, service life is estimated after selection of one single and dominant deteriorating process such as carbonation, chloride penetration or frost attack. Application of existing codes has shown, however, that the predicted service life is not reached in practice in most cases. Early damage occurs and as a consequence expensive repair measures become frequently necessary, long before the design service life is reached. One reason for this discrepancy is certainly the fact that in practice each dominant deteriorating process is usually accompanied by other aggravating processes. In this contribution capillary absorption of different types of concrete is studied first. The influence of an increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles on capillary absorption of water is studied first, then chloride penetration before and after exposure to a certain number of freeze-thaw cycles was determined experimentally. It was found that an increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles increases chloride penetration significantly, and hence reduces service life in aggressive environment. It can be concluded that for realistic service life prediction the interaction between frost damage and chloride penetration has to be taken into consideration in regions with low temperatures.

Детали цилиндропоршневой группы (ЦПГ) определяют ресурс автомобильных двигателей, так как они являются наиболее нагруженными газовыми и инерционными силами, имеющими переменный и знакопеременный характер изменения. К тому же эти детали имеют контакт с горячими газами и атмосферным воздухом, содержащим абразивные частицы пыли, что интенсифицирует их износ. Достоверность диагностирования состояния деталей ЦПГ зависит от информативности выбранных параметров, которыми являются показатели качества работы двигателей. Проверка двигателей из эксплуатации с пробегами, близкими к их ресурсу, на тормозном стенде при работе на номинальном режиме, показала, что самым информативным является расход масла на долив (на угар). Он рекомендован как основной диагностический параметр деталей ЦПГ. Вспомогательными параметрами рекомендуются компрессия и расход картерных газов, которые целесообразно использовать при углублённом диагностировании указанных деталей с целью определения неисправных цилиндров двигателя. Parts of cylinder-piston group determine service life of automotive engines as they are the most loaded gas and inertial forces, having variable and sign-alternating character of change. In addition, these parts have contact with hot gases and atmospheric air containing abrasive dust particles which intensifies their wear. Reliability of diagnostics of CPG parts condition depends on information value of selected parameters which are indicators of engines operation quality. Check of engines out of service with runs close to their service life on the brake stand bench during operation at nominal conditions has showed that the most informative is oil consumption through burning. It is recommended as the main diagnostic parameter of CPG parts. The auxiliary parameters are recommended compression and flow rate of crankcase gases which are useful for deep diagnostics of the specified parts in order to determine faulty cylinders of the engine.

In earlier works, characterization and stress corrosion cracking of casings of brine recirculation pumps, used in desalination plants, had been investigated. These casings which were manufactured from two types of Ni resist ductile irons have been reported to show different service lives. Material selection of casings is believed to be one of possible factors to extend the service life of these pumps. Two types of stainless steels; UNS S31603 and UNS S32750 have been recommended as substitutes to Ni resist ductile irons. In this work, mechanical, metallurgical, and electrochemical tests have been conducted on as received samples, made of these two types of stainless steels. Results have shown considerable higher yield and tensile strengths and corrosion resistance for the UNS S32750 over the UNS S31603. Results have also shown reproduced pitting behavior illustrated by measured pitting potentials and visual observations for UNS S31603 samples. UNS S32750 samples have shown no signs of pitting.

Abstract Stepless vehicle drives will assume their place next to automatic switching units throughout the world if they meet their expected fuel-saving potential. This necessitates optimizing the individual components of the CVT as regards their efficiency. The main source of losses are the hydraulic supply units and the losses which result specifically from non-positive transmission. In the case of stepless chain conveners, these result mainly from friction disk deformation. These losses account for 50 to 70 % of total CVT losses. Both loss components are influenced by the lubricant to a significantly greater extent than it would appear at first sight: In the case of fully-hydraulic clamping and control systems, the viscosity and its long-term stability determines the degree of leakage losses and therefore the size of the pump or pump combinations. This applies to pressure levels between 20 and 40 bar. This in turn is directly proportional to the hydraulic losses on the CVT. The friction coefficient of the lubricant determines the level of the necessary clamping forces. These are responsible for friction-disk deformation. Also of importance as far as the selection of lubricant is concerned is its influence on the CVT service life. The critical service life limits for chain converters are chain breakage (not the subject of this report) and evidence of wear, i.e. grey staining, sheave-grooving, pitting, scoring and rocker pin wear. Standardized test methods exist at P.I.V. for both wear manifestations and for the friction coefficient, these tests allowing a targeted selection of lubricants.
