Fretting fatigue is a fatigue damage process that occurs when two surfaces in contact with
each other are subjected to relative micro-slip, causing a reduced fatigue life with respect to …

The laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) method, more commonly known as selective laser
melting (SLM), is one of the most common metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes. It is …

This work is based on a comparison between experimental data and finite element analysis
for many configurations of interference fits in rotating bending and alternated torsion …

Two numerical methodologies, developed based on the original Modified Wöhler Curve
Method (O-MWCM) and its further modified version (FM-MWCM), were used to predict the …

Hybrid-adhesive joints are an alternative stress reduction technique for adhesively bonded
joints. The joints have two types of adhesives in the overlap region. The stiff adhesive should …

Fretting accelerates damage of mechanical joint; however, the interference-fit technology
which makes an oversized fastener installed into a hole has been a method for durability …

The technique of assembly by shrink fit is increasingly used today. However, the
methodology of parts sizing has not changed in 50 years. Assembled parts are assumed to …

Finite element simulation is a powerful tool to study and predict the wear behavior of
different mechanical systems. However, the high computational cost required to obtain …

The vehicle under investigation is an articulated bus characterized by a length of 18 m,
realised by the joining of two chassis (Fig. 1), capable of carrying up to 160 passengers and …

Interference fit is an important contact mode used for torque transmission existing widely in
engineering design. To prevent trackslip, a certain magnitude of interference has to be …
