Abstract: The static and low cycle fatigue strength of an air plasma sprayed (APS) partially stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating (TBC) is experimentally evaluated. The shear testing utilized the ...

Abstract: This paper examines finite element models for studying the long time frictional heating of locomotive wheels. The aim is to obtain the temperature distribution and the thermal and residual ...

Abstract: A “two-body” elasto-plastic finite element model of two-dimensional rolling and rolling-plus-sliding has been developed to treat the effect of surface irregularities. The model consists of a smooth ...
