Abstract: The modeling and analysis procedures with the dynamic stiffness matrix method described in Part 1 were applied to a crankshaft system, consisting of crankshaft, front pulley, flywheel, piston, ...

Abstract: A linear model was developed to obtain the relationships between the characteristic temperatures of the solar heat collector (e.g., the fluid outlet temperature) and the heat capacitance rate ...

Abstract: To simplify the analysis of the three-dimensional vibrations of automobile engine crankshafts under firing conditions, the crankshaft was idealized by a set of jointed structures consisting of ...

Abstract: Fracture tests for the verification of WPS (warm prestressing) effect were carried out by using large flat specimens and big compact specimens with low toughness. In the case of monotonical K ...

Abstract: A crack arrest test was carried out using a toughness gradient steel plate with three layers to study the concept of crack arrest toughness. Four-point bending load with thermal shock was ...

Abstract: Fracture tests for the verification of WPS (warm prestressing) effect were carried out by using large flat specimens with very low toughness. Tensile and bending loads and thermal shock were ...
