On the fatigue resistance of endodontic files subjected to electrochemical polishing and an autoclave’s sterilisation cycle

Pedro Santos, Rui F. Martins, António Ginjeira

The purpose of this paper is to improve the surface finish and, therefore, the fatigue resistance of some endodontic files by electrochemical polishing; the influence of applying…

Multi-objective optimization design of anti-rolling torsion bar based on modified NSGA-III algorithm

Yong-Hua Li, Ziqiang Sheng, Pengpeng Zhi, Dongming Li

How to get a lighter and stronger anti-rolling torsion bar has become a barrier for the development of high-speed railway vehicles. The purpose of this paper is to realize the…

Fatigue assessment based on hot-spot stresses obtained from the global dynamic analysis and local static sub-model

Cristiane Oliveira Viana, Hermes Carvalho, José Correia, Pedro Aires Montenegro, Raphael Pedrosa Heleno, Guilherme Santana Alencar, Abilio M.P. de Jesus, Rui Calçada

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the fatigue process through the dynamic analysis of the global structural model and local static sub-modelling in a critical detail using…

Alternative steel lattice structures for wind energy converters

Slobodanka Jovasevic, José Correia, Marko Pavlovic, Rita Dantas, Carlos Rebelo, Milan Veljkovic, Abilio M.P. de Jesus

In the last decades, the demand and use of renewable energies have been increasing. The increase in renewable energies, particularly wind energy, leads to the development and…

Fracture behaviour of engineering stone material

Michał Smolnicki, Mateusz Cieciura, Grzegorz Lesiuk, José Correia, Paweł Stabla

Engineered stone is a material which can be described as an artificial stone. The exemplary application area is sink production. There are very few research projects about this…

Magnetoelectric effect in hybrid composite material

Rafal Mech

Investigations over new types of materials as a potential power source for different types of devices were raised dramatically in the last few years. It is connected especially…

Fatigue failure analysis of express freight sliding side covered wagon based on the rigid-flexibility model

Xiaoxue Liu, Yahui Zhang, Suming Xie, Qiang Zhang, Hanfei Guo

The car body stiffness of express freight sliding side covered wagon decreased for the sliding and the resonance vibration based on the flexible car body has affected the dynamics…

Research on stress state level evaluation method of complex steel welded structures

Chunliang Niu, Suming Xie, Xiangwei Li, Wen Wang

Study on welded joints’ stress state grade of aluminum alloy EMU body

Suming Xie, Chunyun Li, Jian Wang, Wanpeng Li, Chunliang Niu

Based on the DVS1608-2011 and IIW-2008 and BS EN15085-3 standards, the stress state grade of welded joints of aluminum alloy EMU (Electric Multiple Units) body was studied.

FE simulation of sealing ability for premium connection based on ISO 13679 CAL IV tests

Yihua Dou, Yufei Li, Yinping Cao, Yang Yu, Jiantao Zhang, Lin Zhang

To maintain the well integrity, the strength and sealing ability of premium connection should be in the safe scope. ISO 13679 is widely used for evaluating the ability of tubing…

Numerical study of fatigue damage under random loading using rainflow cycle counting

Tayeb Kebir, José Correia, Mohamed Benguediab, Abilio M.P. de Jesus

The purpose of this scientific work is to simulate the fatigue damage under random loading taking into account the mean stress effect on fatigue lifetime and using the rainflow…
