The safety-risk pressurized thermal shock (PTS) have on a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is one of the most important studies for the lifetime ageing management of a reactor. Several studies have investigated PTS induced by postulated accidents and other anticipated transients. However, there is no study that analyzes the effect of PTS induced by one of

Since fan blades are exposed to fatigue, and in some cases harsh loading conditions, they may exhibit fracture failures due to crack propagation, resulting in significant losses. Previous studies of crack propagation in blades are mainly confined to either simplified blade geometry or loads, resulting in a significant discrepancy between the simulated ...

Study on Fatigue Mechanism of Main Bearings of Shield Machine based on FRANC3D
Taking the main bearing of the shield machine as the research object, and a finite element analysis on the contact fatigue mechanism of the main thrust raceway is carried out. Considering the size of the main bearing of the shield machine is too large, a simplified main thrust raceway contact model is used for finite element analysis, and the validity ...
