We have proposed a new cold processing method to enlarge the diameter of a short section of a metal shaft using a combination of a cyclic bending load and an axial compressive load that is lower than the yield stress of the sample material. We call this cold processing method the diameter-enlargement working method, and refer to the enlarged section of the processed shaft as the diameter-enlargement section. The processing method produces large plastic deformation, and its key features are as follows: the diameter-enlargement deformation progresses easily under a low axial compressive load at room temperature and the processed part exhibits little temperature increase. However, a crack is generated in the notch near the diameter-enlargement section during processing, and the cause is not yet clearly understood. Therefore, we conducted processing experiments to clarify the crack generation conditions, and simulated the working process using the finite element method to investigate the behaviors of stress and strain during processing. Furthermore, we calculated the low-cycle fatigue damage in the processed shaft using the Manson–Coffin expression. This study clarifies the mechanism of crack generation during processing and evaluates the fatigue strength of the processed part.

AbstractDemands on modern gearboxes are constantly increasing, for example to comply with lightweight design goals or new CO2 thresholds. Normally, to increase performance requires making gearboxes and powertrains more robust. However, this increases the weight of a standard gearbox. The two trends therefore seem contradictory. To satisfy both of these goals, gears in gearboxes can be shot-peened to introduce high compressive residual stresses and improve their bending fatigue strength. To determine a gear’s tooth root bending fatigue strength, experiments are conducted up to a defined number of load cycles in the high cycle fatigue range. However, investigations of shot-peened gears have revealed tooth root fracture damage initiated at non-metallic inclusions in and above the very high cycle fatigue range. This means that a further reduction in bending load carrying capacity has to be expected at higher load cycles, something which is not covered under current standard testing conditions. The question is whether there is a significant decrease in the bending load carrying capacity and, also, if pulsating tests conducted at higher load cycles—or even tests on the FZG back-to-back test rig—are necessary to determine a proper endurance fatigue limit for shot-peened gears. This paper examines these questions.

The evolution of a sustainable green composite in various loadbearing structural applications tends to reduce pollution, which in turn enhances environmental sustainability. This work is an attempt to promote a sustainable green composite in buckling loadbearing structural applications. In order to use the green composite in various structural applications, the knowledge on its structural stability is a must. As the structural instability leads to the buckling of the composite structure when it is under an axial compressive load, the work on its buckling characteristics is important. In this work, the buckling characteristics of a woven flax/bio epoxy (WFBE) laminated composite plate are investigated experimentally and numerically when subjected to an axial compressive load. In order to accomplish the optimization study on the buckling characteristics of the composite plate among various structural criterions such as number of layers, the width of the plate and the ply orientation, the optimization tool “response surface methodology” (RSM) is used in this work. The validation of the developed finite element model in Analysis System (ANSYS) version 16 is carried out by comparing the critical buckling loads obtained from the experimental test and numerical simulation for three out of twenty samples. A comparison is then made between the numerical results obtained through ANSYS16 and the results generated using the regression equation. It is concluded that the buckling strength of the composite escalates with the number of layers, the change in width and the ply orientation. It is also noted that the weaving model of the fabric powers the buckling behavior of the composite. This work explores the feasibility of the use of the developed green composite in various buckling loadbearing structural applications. Due to the compromised buckling characteristics of the green composite with the synthetic composite, it has the capability of replacing many synthetic composites, which in turn enhances the sustainability of the environment.

Abstract Timoshenko has applied plate theory to each leg of an angle-section bar to determine the critical compressive load needed to cause sinusoidal torsional buckling. In this paper his idea is used to calculate the critical bending load needed to cause sinusoidal torsional buckling of an angle bar. The bending is assumed to be applied so that the extreme fibers of the angle are in compression, the vertex in tension. Approximate results are first obtained by means of the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The approximate deflection functions from which the energy terms are computed are based upon certain infinite-series solutions. After having obtained approximate results, exact values are obtained, using the approximate values as a guide to limit the amount of calculation. The results of this calculation are shown in Fig. 5, where they are compared with those predicted by bar theory. Differences between the two theories become more noticeable as the bar becomes short compared to its flange width. It is found that the critical bending load becomes larger very rapidly as the ratio of length to width of the flanges decreases. Bar theory predicts no such increase. The reason for this difference is explained.

A method is developed for predicting crush behavior of multicorner prismatic columns subjected to an axial compressive load. The corner element of an arbitrary angle is analyzed first using rigorous methods of structural plasticity with finite deformations and rotations. On that basis, crush predictions are made for multicorner columns with an even number of corners. Static crush tests on square, hexagonal, and rhomboidal thin-walled columns are also reported here. Good correlation between the theory and experiments was obtained for the magnitude of a mean crushing force and kinematic parameters describing the process of progressive folding.
