..., and the influence of factors such as vehicle weight, speed, and road surface conditions. Design/methodology/approach Tire wear is caused by three different mechanisms: Cut and chip (abrasion), fatigue, and chemical wear. Each mechanism appears differently, thus each of them is described separately...

...Chunxing Gu; Xiaoli Sheng; Di Zhang Purpose This paper aims to investigate the gear performance during meshing. The effects of line load, velocity and rough surfaces (kurtosis and skewness) on the lubrication characteristics and fatigue life of gears were analyzed. Design/methodology/approach...

... wear caused by misalignment. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images examine chuck, spherical and flat platelet particles, and confirm the presence of fatigue (pitting) and adhesion (scuffing) wear mechanism. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis of SEM particles traces carbon (C) and iron...

... be applied to real field applications in condition monitoring systems. Up to now, no reasonable on‐line measurement is in use determining sub surface fatigue phenomena. The paper hence, reveals the possibility to raise condition monitoring into a new perspective. Originality/value The use of Barkhausen...

... to fatigue and tensile samples prepared by machining. Process temperature was 550°C and treatment time period 24 and 60 h. Then, tensile, fatigue, notch‐impact, hardness tests were applied and metallographic examinations were performed. Findings High temperature and longer treatment by ion nitriding...
