the premature breakage in some four cylinder diesel engine crankshafts was reported. all crankshafts were failed from the same region. failures had occurred in the first crankpin, the nearest crankpin to the flywheel. dynamic analysis and finite element modelling were carried out to determine the state of stress in the crankshaft. fem results revealed that the first crankpin fillet is the most ...

abstract background: although studies have demonstrated significant negative relationships between quality of life (qol), fatigue, and the most common psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress), the main ambiguity of previous studies on qol is in the relative importance of these predictors. also, there is lack of adequate knowledge about the actual contribution of each of them in the ...

multiple sclerosis (m.s) is one of the prevalent diseases of the central nervous system which cause disability in young adults. this appears as neural signs in different parts and various times. the main defect is local deterioration or destruction of myelin tissue in the brain and spinal cord. profound fatigue is one the most common symptoms of this disease. because ms is prevalent in middle a...

Background. This study aimed to analyze core muscle fatigue effects on the kinematic parameters change during volleyball jump serve. Methods. The participants were sixteen experienced male volleyball players with average age, height, and body weight of 24.6 ± 1.8 years, 1.85 ± 1.6 m, and 79.5 ± 3.5 kg, respectively. This study utilized two high-resolution video cameras, a drone video, a lactat...

‌‌‌Fatigue behavior of a vanadium microalloy steel has been studied in this research. Here, microstructure constituents were considered which essentially are dependent on the heat treatment conditions. The results of high cycle fatigue tests revealed that heat treatment procedure and cooling rates have significant effects on fatigue properties. Optimal heat treatment cycle of the microalloyed s...

In this paper, low cycle fatigue life of CK45 steel and SS316 stainless steel under strain-controlled loading are experimentally investigated. In addition, the impact of mean strain and strain amplitude on the fatigue life and cyclic behavior of the materials are studied. Furthermore, it is attempted to predict fatigue life using energy and SWT damage parameters. The experimental results demons...

in the present study, the effect of various weight fractions of graphene nanoplatelet (gpl) on flexural fatigue behavior of epoxy polymer has been investigated at room temperature and generally the temperature was monitored on the surface of specimen during each test. the flexural stiffness of grapheme nano-platelet/epoxy nanocomposites at 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 wt. % as a main effective parameter o...

abstract – aluminium 7075- t651 alloys are widely used in the production of light weight structures requiring a high strength to weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. the effect of processing parameters on fatigue life of 7075- t651 aluminium joints produced by friction stir welding was investigated in the present study. welding samples were made by employing rotating tool speed of 770, 9...

microalloyed s355n steel plates are extensively used in bridge and high-rise building structures. one ofthe factors affecting the mechanical properties is the size and morphology of inclusions. in this research,microalloyed s355n steel plates with different sizes of inclusions were examined. one contained longmanganese sulfide inclusions (li material) and the other had short ones (si material)....
