An Experimental Study of Self-Loosening of Bolted Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The self-loosening process of a bolted joint consists of two distinct stages. The early stage of self-loosening is due to the cyclic plastic deformation of the materials. The second stage of ...
Estimation of Dynamic Contact Force Between a Pantograph and Catenary Using the Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a model of the catenary and pantograph and an analysis of their dynamic interaction, using the finite element method. An analytical procedure to calculate the length of ...
