Railway axle reliability is paramount to ensuring the safe operation of modern trains. Recent studies have focussed on understanding fatigue behaviour and crack propagation mechanisms in axle ...

Crack propagation analysis is a critical area in structural engineering that addresses the prediction and management of crack growth in materials under diverse load conditions. This field combines ...

Researchers have developed a simplified mathematical model (step-loading model, SLM) that unifies two earlier mechanisms to describe the velocity jump in crack propagation. Through SLM, they showed ...

Some results of the supersonic transport materials research conducted by Douglas-McDonnell in the areas of fracture toughness, and by Douglas in the area of crack propagation, are presented. The ...

(a) An illustrative map for Crack-Net, including the initial features, looping solver for data generation, model training, and prediction performance. (b) The Crack-Net architecture, which utilizes ...

Research physicists have developed large-scale computer simulations to analyze how cracks form and grow in materials including steel, glass, nanostructures, and human bone. Crack-propagation analysis ...
