... their overload capacity. This is a challenging task because of the following: first, multiple contacts occur between complex geometric parts. Second, the model has to be solved for many instances in order to determine the relative position of the planetary system members at which the maximum bending stress...

...Keiji Houjou; Koji Takahashi; Kotoji Ando Purpose – The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of overload (bending moment with plastic deformation: Mp) on three point bending specimen at the fatigue limit of high-tensile-strength steel containing a crack in the stress concentration...

... their reliability, can be substantially increased by tensile overloading prior to use. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of tensile overload on small cracks by applying a tensile overload to steel plates containing semicircular slits that simulate small surface cracks and by determining...

...Yasuaki Hashikura; Koji Takahashi; Yuji Miyazaki; Keiji Houjou; Kotoji Ando Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of overload on the threshold stress intensity factor range (ΔK_th) in SUS316. Design/methodology/approach The fatigue tests are carried out...
