A New Terrain Sensing System ( TSS ) based on fatigue damage spectra
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a new ‘Terrain Sensing System’ (TSS) that is able to record the cumulative damage seen by a ground vehicle over its entire operational life. Used within a HUMS IT process, this information can be calibrated to represent directly the residual life of onboard equipment such as electronic control systems, instrumentation, radios, brackets, refrigeration plants and weapons systems, thus enabling field staff to rapidly prioritize vehicles for deployment, increase their operational effectiveness and improve through-life management of the fleet using ‘Condition Based Maintenance’ (CBM).

Cumulative Fatigue Damage Under stepwise Tension-Compression Loading
Rock structures are subjected to cyclic tension-compression loading due to a blasting, earthquake, traffic and injection-production in underground storage case. Therefore study the fatigue behavior of rock samples under this type of loading is required. In this study, the accumulated fatigue damage for a Green Onyx rock sample which consisted of only one mineral composition with two-step high-l...
متن کاملFatigue Failure and Damage Analysis of an Anti-roll Bar Subjected to Fatigue Experiments
The available fatigue theories have been examined using simple specimens subjected to bending or tension-compression loads. Therefore, the stress fields have been generally one or two dimensional. Anti-roll bar is a component belongs to the suspension system of the vehicles. In spite of having simple circular section, due to the having several curvatures, this component experiences a three-dime...
متن کاملEvaluation of continuum damage at different temperatures for aluminum-silicon alloy of engine piston within low-cycle fatigue regime
In this article, the isothermal low-cycle fatigue continuum damage in the engine piston aluminum alloy has been evaluated at different temperatures. For this objective, experimental data of low-cycle fatigue tests on standard specimens were used at 280, 350 and 425°C. Based on the continuum damage mechanics method, the fatigue damage was calculated during cyclic loading. Obtained results, inclu...
