REMAINING USEFUL LIFE FOR HEAVY-DUTY RAILWAY CAST STEEL KNUCKLES BASED ON CRACK GROWTH BEHAVIOR WITH HYPOTHETICAL DISTRIBUTIONS

Remaining Useful Life for Heavy-Duty Railway Cast Steel Knuckles Based on Crack Growth Behavior with Hypothetical Distributions

Abstract The current research on the integrity of critical structures of rail vehicles mainly focuses on the design stage, which needs an effective method for assessing the service state.This paper proposes a framework for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of in-service structures with and without visible cracks.The hypothetical distributi

The Effect of MQL on Tool Wear Progression in Low-Frequency Vibration-Assisted Drilling of CFRP/Ti6Al4V Stack Material

In this paper, the tool wear mechanisms for low-frequency vibration-assisted drilling (LF-VAD) of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)/Ti6Al4V stacks are investigated at various machining parameters.Based on the kinematics analysis, the effect of vibration amplitude on the chip formation, uncut chip thickness, chip radian, and axial velocity are
