Numerical analysis of hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue of wind turbine bearings [PDF]
Offshore wind parks at locations further from the shore often involve serious difficulties, e.g. the maintenance. The bearings of offshore wind turbines are prone to suffer hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue (HA-RCF).

Evaluation of Fatigue and Fracture Characteristics of High-Speed Rail Material [PDF]
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear caused by rolling contact between the wheel and rail are inevitable problems in railway systems. An increase in axle load or the slip ratio causes excessive wear.

Atomic mechanism of near threshold fatigue crack growth in vacuum
It is challenging to understand failure mechanisms under a prolonged low-amplitude loading. Here the authors perform large-scale simulations to better understand the fatigue crack growth mechanism in vacuum, providing an atomic-scale origin for a ...

Impact-induced damage accumulation at micro- and nanostructural scale levels in sintered powders SiO2, SiC, and Al2O3 and in their single crystal counterparts [PDF]
The acoustic emission (AE) and fractoluminescence (FL) techniques were applied to study the impact damage in sintered powders of SiO2, SiC and Al2O3 and their single crystal counterparts.
