Abstract:A drive from a diesel engine of a truck was broken into four parts during normal use. Damaged bolt caused longitudinal and transverse cracks. They started from the surface of the hole and stretched outward. The appearance of marginal signs and striations on the surfaces of all regions of origin of the crack indicate that fatigue breakage is the dominant damaging mechanism of the bolt. The surface of the hole and the outer surface are indicated to be cemented. Microstructure and microstructure profiles at the b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
