This paper reports an investigation into the failure of a passenger coach axle due to fatigue crack propagation, emphasizing the importance of reliable NDT inspection methods to prevent future accidents. Calculations indicated the crucial need for upfront detection of potentially critical cracks. Investigating crack propagation simulation supported the determination of reliable axle NDT inspection intervals.
Railway axles are designed to be highly reliable so as to ensure even more than 30 years of service. Even though they are periodically inspected by scheduled Non Destructive Testing (NDT) inspections to detect the potential initiation of cracks, failures with disastrous consequences for railway vehicles and human beings can occur. This paper reports an investigation concerning the failure of an axle of a passenger coach due to fatigue crack propagation. Calculations indicated that the need for reliable NDT inspection methods is of crucial importance for the upfront detection of potentially critical cracks. The presented investigation was useful to support the application of the crack propagation simulation for the determination of reliable axle NDT inspection intervals so as to prevent future accidents.

Mechanical behavior of chemically-treated hemp fibers reinforced composites subjected to moisture absorption

Flavia Bollino, Venanzio Giannella, Enrico Armentani, Raffaele Sepe

Summary: Natural Fibers Reinforced Composites (NFRC) are lightweight, easy to handle, process, and recycle, making them attractive alternatives to glass or carbon composites. However, their polarity causes compatibility issues with hydrophobic thermoplastic matrices, leading to moisture absorption and debonding between fibers and matrix, affecting the mechanical properties. Chemically treated hemp fibers were used to manufacture NFRCs and were tested for moisture absorption and tensile strength based on different treatments, temperatures, and concentrations of reagents. The results showed that treatments with 5 wt% NaOH and GPTMS were the most effective in reducing water uptake and stiffness decrease in the composites. The specimen treated with 5 wt% GPTMS was particularly effective in preventing composite failure induced by water uptake.

Fatigue behaviour of additive manufactured Nb-48Ti alloy parts from powders produced by Plasma Atomization (PA) and Hydride-Dehydride (HDH) process

Willy Ank de Morais, Railson Bolsoni Falcao, Mario Boccalini Jr, Fernando Jose Gomes Landgraf

Summary: This study compares the fatigue behavior of bcc Nb-48 wt%Ti (Ti-36at%Nb) alloy parts processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) using two different types of powders (spherical powder produced by Plasma Atomization and irregularly shaped powder produced by Hydride-Dehydride). The results show that the fatigue behavior is similar for both powders, but the specimens produced from the Hydride-Dehydride powder have higher dispersed results. Fracture primarily occurs in the porosities near the machined sample surface, and the fatigue cracks propagate in a zigzag mode parallel to the L-PBF building direction.

Experimental investigation of the failure of conical picks under thermal and abrasive effects

Xin Zhang, Xu Li, Weipeng Xu, Kuidong Gao, Kao Jiang, Xinyu Wang, Hongxin Wei

Summary: Conical picks are commonly used in tunnel excavation and often experience high temperatures during the cutting process. This study investigated the influence of temperature on the wear of conical picks and proposed a method for measuring rock abrasiveness that takes into account the thermal effect. The experimental results showed that cooling liquid reduced the maximum temperature and the mean mass loss of the conical pick. Additionally, the study examined the characteristics of oxygen and found evidence of peeling, cracking, and oxidation on the grinding rod used for rock abrasiveness measurement.

Root cause analysis of flywheel gear failure in a marine diesel engine

Vivek Srivastava, Deependra Singh, A. G. Rao, V. P. Deshmukh

Summary: Engine gear failures are a significant concern in various industries. Investigating each gear failure and determining the root cause is important for preventing future failures. This study used experimental and numerical analysis techniques to investigate the premature failure of a flywheel gear in a marine diesel engine. The findings revealed that the gear failed due to overload stresses caused by overload torque generated from sudden inertial thrust in the internal combustionengine.

Crack cause analysis of a third stage stator vane of the low-pressure compressor in an aeroengine

Jun Zhang, Weidong Liu, Feilong Liu, Zhiqiang Yang, Jinfang Peng, Minhao Zhu

Summary: During a major overhaul of an aeroengine, a cracked stator vane of the low-pressure compressor was discovered, with the crack originating from a corrosion pit located on the arc transition between the leading edge and the upper edge plate. The fracture surface exhibited signs of fatigue cracks, indicating a pit-related fatigue crack. Metallographic examination revealed that most corrosion pits were distributed beneath the bulging or peeling paint layer on the leading edge and the concave side. Identification of the corrosion products showed the presence of sulfate and alumina, suggesting atmospheric corrosion as a likely cause for the cracked stator vane.

Tube-to-tube impact wear damage mechanism and nonlinear ultrasonic detection method of alloy 690 tubes

Lijia Luo, Yincheng Wang, Wei Chen, Zuming Zhao, Wenfei Chen, Shiyi Bao

Summary: Tube-to-tube impact wear is a significant factor in the failure of alloy 690 tubes in nuclear steam generators. This paper investigates the wear damage mechanism and detection method of alloy 690 tubes under tube-to-tube impact loads. The results reveal the wear damage mechanism through analysis of macro and micro morphologies as well as metallographic structures. A nonlinear ultrasonic wave mixing method is proposed for damage detection and a detection device is developed to implement this method. Experimental results indicate that the damage mode of tube-to-tube impact wear varies with impact load and cycle number, and the nonlinear modulation index is effective in assessing the damage degree of alloy 690 tubes.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel method of improving the progressive collapse resistance of RC frame structures by adding locally debonded kinked steel plates (KPs). Experimental tests and finite element analysis reveal that the addition of KPs significantly enhances the ultimate resistance and deformability of the beam-slab substructures. The mechanism of resistance improvement is explained, and an analytical model is developed for predicting the ultimate resistance of the structures.

Investigation on the mechanism and measures of derailment of empty freight train passing a turnout in the diverging route

Yiping Jiang, Maoru Chi, Jungang Yang, Liangcheng Dai, Yuchen Xie, Zhaotuan Guo

Summary: This article investigates and simulates the derailment of empty freight trains at the switch section of a turnout in the diverging route, and proposes preventive measures. The results show that the derailment is caused by the combined effect of various factors, and reducing the longitudinal coupler force and the wheel rail friction coefficient can decrease the possibility of derailment. Additionally, installing a guard rail in front of the turnout can effectively prevent derailment.
