Purpose The properties of materials under impact load are introduced in terms of metal,
nonmetallic materials and composite materials. And the application of impact load research …

With the material degradation of gear over its service lifespan, the gearbox is prone to
fatigue, especially under harsh working environments. The interaction between gear fatigue …

Purpose The multisource uncertainties, including material dispersion, load fluctuation and
geometrical tolerance, have crucial effects on fatigue performance of turbine bladed disks. In …

In order to solve the problems such as lack of fault information, sample variation with time
and expensive calculation in the estimation of the vibration fatigue reliability of the turbine …

All kinds of uncertainties influence the reliability of the engineering system. Thus, uncertainty
quantification is significant to the system reliability analysis. Polynomial chaos expansion …

Corrosion fatigue is identified as the main failure mechanism for structures working in severe
corrosive medium subjected to cyclic rotating bending fatigue, for example crude oil storage …

Microstructural inhomogeneity in additively manufactured (AM) components leads to
uncertainty in their fatigue performance. While purely data-driven methods can only provide …

Composite materials are widely used in the automobile industry, compared with traditional
mechanical connection, in terms of efficiency and manufacture cost structure, adhesively …

The failures of mechatronic systems, such as wear, fatigue, and aging, result in energy
dissipation. This paper develops a reliability model from the perspective of fault energy …

Traditionally, the reliability of a gravity dam-foundation system is evaluated using several
typical dam sections. However, the performance of different dam sections may vary greatly …
