The fracture of coil springs occasionally appears in rail vehicles, which may severely
jeopardise the train running safety. In this study, the fracture phenomenon of the locomotive …

This article focuses on a thorough review of the utilisation of the wavelet transform in the
analysis of durability and structural health monitoring in automotive components. The …

As it is known, the suspension helical or coil spring contributes to the vehicle's driving
comfort and protects the vehicle parts by softening the impacts depending on the road …

This study presents the characterisation of multifractality of road excitation time series under
different road conditions for prediction of the durability of a suspension coil spring. Road …

Failure analysis of a coil spring which failed prematurely during service was carried out
using optical and scanning electron microscopy, hardness testing, metallography and …

A spring is a component which is designed to have relatively low stiffness compared to
normal rigid rods, thereby making it possible to accept certain forces that are charged. A leaf …

Abstract Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) is a technique which can be used to
record the surface appearance of objects. It can capture a surface's interaction with incident …

This study investigates the fatigue failure behavior of coil compression springs and various
influencing factors. The intrinsic and induced causes of fatigue failure in metro steel springs …

The suspension coil spring is one of the most important components in a vehicle suspension
system. Its primary function is to absorb the vibrational shocks that are occasioned by …

The geometry of a space curve, including its curvature and torsion, can be uniquely defined
in terms of only one parameter which can be the arc length parameter. Using the differential …
