Second-order reliability methods are commonly used for the computation of reliability,
defined as the probability of satisfying an intended function in the presence of uncertainties …

Surface integrity is critical for gear contact fatigue performance. The relation between gear
surface integrity and contact fatigue remains unclear, which is a challenge for gear anti …

Progress in developing digital quality assurance systems for welded joints has made it
possible to accurately measure the local geometry and its variation, making it possible to …

Digital weld quality assurance systems are increasingly used to capture local geometrical
variations that can be detrimental for the fatigue strength of welded components. In this …

Ice abrasive water jet (IAWJ) technology uses ice particles instead of the mineral abrasives
used in abrasive water jet (AWJ) technology. Since the thermal conditions are extremely …

In the present study, statistical analysis for previously reported cut edge fatigue test results is
performed. Experimental fatigue tests are conducted for machined, plasma, and fiber laser …

Purpose This study aims to obtain the lowest surface roughness (Ra) and drill bit adhesion
values (AV) depending on the change in control factors (cutting speed-Vc, feed rate-f and …

For a typical pipeline-lifting deep-sea mining system, marine mining pipelines have higher
requirements for steel welding. After the pipeline steel is welded, a large amount of residual …

Experimental fatigue tests were performed for the S960 and S1100 steel grades laser cut
notched geometries in this study. Fatigue test results were analyzed with the conventional …

A probabilistic framework is developed utilizing a two-scale modeling approach to efficiently
consider the material variability that is typical for composite materials. The modeling …
