Shafts are core mechanical components of equipment. These play a key role in supporting
the rotating device and transmitting motion, torque, or bending moment. The quality and …

A bulk-ship was not working normally when anchoring to wait for entering port. Inspection in
site found that the intermediate shaft fractured. The intermediate shaft had accumulatively …

Fretting wear and gear contact fatigue belong to adhesive wear. They have similar causes,
failure mechanisms, and failure appearance. Drawing inspiration from the gear contact …

Compacted graphite cast iron is widely used in the field of diesel engines, and the fretting
wear phenomenon of the joint surface will produce fatigue cracks, wear pits, etc., which will …

Mode I fatigue crack growth with a superimposed static torque was investigated in bainitic
steel. The torque had little effect on crack growth kinetics and path. However, the non …

This study investigates the failure of an industrial cooling water pump which experienced a
drive shaft failure. As per the fail-safe design, during adverse loading of the shaft, key should …
