In this study, a novel dynamic cold expansion (DCE) method based on electromagnetic load
was developed to enhance the fatigue life of open hole structures. The experiments were …

In this review, for the first time, cold working methods established in engineering practice, as
well as new methods that increase the fatigue life of metal components with fastener holes …

Cold Expansion (CE) techniques are extensively used in the aeronautical industry to
enhance the fatigue life of open-hole plates. However, the availability of accurate Finite …

In this study, residual stress distributions and fatigue performances of electromagnetic
driving dynamic cold expansion (DCE) open-holed sheets were investigated. Fatigue …

This study aims to explore the upper limit of expansion size in dynamic cold expansion
(DCE) and discuss the fatigue life enhancement mechanisms of this process. To achieve …

The article presents a new technology for joint bar holes processing. Joint bars are
components of rail bolted joints, which are a critical place for nucleation and propagation of …

In this study, a novel method stress wave strengthening (SWS) process based on
electromagnetic force was proposed to improve the fatigue life of holed structures …

The effects of vertical dynamic wheel loading and bolt conditions on rail-end joint bar by
using the finite element method (FEM) in terms of vertical displacement, principal and shear …

One of the major causes of railway accidents is reported to be unfavourable rail joint
conditions. These have resulted in a number of human and financial losses for passengers …

The rail joint is typically considered to be one of the weakest part of the rail way track
superstructure. There are a number of defects and failures around rail end joint including …
