In order to research the fatigue strength of gasket which is with new composite material in one plane, we designed and manufactured special testing equipment. The material of shaft of testing equipment is 30CrMnSi. In the experiment, the 30CrMnSi shaft was broken into two parts by suddenly. By structural analysis, static analysis and heat treatment analysis for shaft, we get the reason of fracture for shaft finally. The problem solved make the test goes well and can help design and manufacture testing equipment in the future.

The paper presents a failure analysis on a counterweight assembly installed on crank shaft which resulted in an in-flight shutdown of a piston aeroengine. The counterweight assembly failure includes counterweight block material loss and fractured washer which is the most crucial part for in-flight shutdown in this type of aeroengine. Macro observation, fractography analysis, metallography analysis and hardness test were conducted on the failed counterweight assembly. The result shows that failure mechanism of counterweight block and washer is fatigue. The washer failure is likely due to inappropriate heat treatment process and continuous impact in flight by slightly tilted roller. Counterweight material loss is attributed to stress concentration, low structure strength and impact came from the tilted roller. Finally some safety suggestion on design and maintenance is given.

Ultrasound Action

The influence of ultrasound on the main regularities of the formation and growth of the diffusion zone at the interlayer boundary of an explosion-welded layered composite material of Al-Cu systems is investigated. It is proved that the effect of ultrasound contributes to the reduction of the latent period of the nucleation of intermetallic phases at the interlayer boundary, lowers the temperature of the beginning of the eutectic transformation (by about 10 ° C), but at the same time does not affect the phase composition of the diffusion zone as a result of homogeneous reactions at the boundary of contact of solids. It has been established that the thickness of the diffusion zone, with the duration of the supplied acoustic vibrations, ensures the absence of cracks in the diffusion zone, leading to delamination of the material, increases by 30-40% at a fixed temperature of intense diffusion.

Abstract The object of this paper is to present a correlation between residual stresses, obtained by heat-treatment, with fatigue values, determined from an investigation of full-size railroad axles. The axles tested were of both solid and tubular design and represent members which could be used under a car in actual service. It was found from these tests that high axle fatigue strength is associated with high surface residual compressive stresses, and lowest axle strength values with surface residual tensile stresses.

This study presents experimental results of structural analysis, such as phase composition, grains size assessment, strength and hardness of Ni-SPAN-C alloy 902 after various heat treatment modes (hardening and aging for stress relaxation). A thermal treatment mode has been selected to obtain higher physical and mechanical properties of the elinvar alloy. It is shown that the improvement of the alloy structure in thermal treatment occurs due to the thermic stresses, as well as the formation and dissolution of intermetallides.

Abstract: The initial dimensions and weight for the vehicle is considered from the Audi A8 vehicle as a reference. The specifications for the motor and battery are considered for the Mahindra e2o electric vehicle of similar dimensions. The main objective of this paper is to model and perform static analysis on the chassis of a four-seater car. The initial design for the chassis was a space frame body which is very rigid and had very less deflection. The second and final chassis is a ladder type chassis which is most common chassis type being used in Nepal and India. The difference in deflection between both the chassis type is very less, which is about 0.3235 mm for a reasonable reduction in weight which is about 120 Kg. The simulation part is carried out in ANSYS software. The result is selection of best suitable material for chassis on the basis of ANSYS and theoretically calculated result.

A numerical procedure for the static analysis of arch-supported tensile structures with block and tackle suspension system is presented. The procedure, based on dynamic relaxation, is suitable for a structural analysis both in the prestressing process and in a final state under external loads. The friction between the pulley and its shaft is also taken into account in the analysis. After the introduction of the developed procedure, two structures are presented as examples. The analysis of a very simple structure validates the procedure, then the analysis of a more complex structure, an arch-supported cable net roof illustrates the stability and efficiency of the procedure.

Forging of ductile cast iron with pure iron by the Damascus technique, results in a new composite material. The combination of cast iron and pure iron is unusual because of its rather different properties. After forging these two materials a small diffusion zone of about 150 µm was observed. Various heat treatments at 900 °C for 2, 4 or 20 hours and 950 °C for 4 h were performed to increase the diffusion zone up to 2.4 mm. At 900 °C carbon solubility in austenite is about 1.2 wt. % and at 950 °C 1.4 wt. %. During the heat treatment carbon diffuses from cast iron into the pure iron and the diffusion gradient grows with time and temperature. Furthermore, the samples were air cooled or water quenched. In the ductile cast iron, graphite nodules are surrounded by ferrite. During the heat treatment graphite is dissolved and pores are observed. In the diffusion gradient layer, a broad range of microstructures observed in hyper- and hypoeutectoid steels could be found. The microstructures were revealed by different etchants and moreover, hardness measurements were performed.

Thermomechanical Processes

On the thermomechanical treatments of Cu-Ni-Si alloy, cold-rolling (CR) before solution heat treatment (SHT) is commonly conducted to eliminate defects in a casting slab. In addition, a rolling is applied to reduce/adjust the thickness of casting slab before SHT. In a heavily deformed microstructure by CR, on the other hand, grain growth during a heating in SHT is likely to occur as the result of recrystallization. In general, tensile strength and fatigue strength tend to decrease with an increase in the grain size. However, the effect of difference in grain sizes produced by with and without CR before SHT on the fatigue strength is unclear. In the present study, fatigue tests of Cu-6Ni-Si alloy smooth specimens with a grain fabricated through different thermomechanical processes were conducted. The fatigue behavior of Cu-Ni-Si alloy was discussed.
