In recent years, the use of digital image correlation (DIC) in fatigue experiments has become
widespread. It is estimated that~ 1000 published works exist that outline fatigue experiments …

Under the development trend of high-strength and high-load diesel engines, the reliability
problem of its cylinder block is becoming more and more serious. Aiming at the problem that …

This paper experimentally evaluates the fretting fatigue properties of cast Al-Si-Cu-T6 alloys
against nodular cast irons with two surface roughnesses. A softening phenomenon contrary …

This paper evaluates the influence of contact pressure on the surface contact state, fretting
damage degradation mechanism, crack initiation and propagation characteristics, and …

Since its inception, isogeometric analysis (IGA) has shown significant advantages over
Lagrange polynomials-based finite element analysis (FEA), especially for contact problems …

Many components made of cast iron (eg, in combustion engines) and aluminium (eg, in
aircraft construction) are subject to fretting fatigue. This results in a need for a method for …

Fretting failure mode is commonly observed at the contact interface of mating parts, held
together under normal load and subjected to vibratory and/or imbalanced system forces …

Fretting is a surface damage phenomenon and is typically observed at the contact interfaces
such as bolted, gasketed joints, and the like. It occurs due to the combined effect of normal …

The shape memory effect and superelasticity of nickel-titanium shape memory alloys offer
substantial benefits for anti-loose devices. This study presents the design of an anti-loose …

Valve seat inserts (VSI) are installed in cylinder heads to provide a seating surface for
poppet valves. Insert material is more heat and wear resistant than the base cylinder head …
