Marine main engine crankshaft failure analysis: A case study

M. Fonte, +1 more
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of a catastrophic failure of a web marine crankshaft and a failure analysis under bending and torsion applied to crankshhafts is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

New approach for analysis of complex multiaxial loading paths

Vitor Anes, +4 more
- 01 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a series of multiaxial fatigue tests on a high-strength steel was performed to determine the multial fatigue strength under proportional and non-proportional loading conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the assessment of fatigue life of marine diesel engine crankshafts

M. Fonte, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview on the assessment of fatigue life of marine engine crankshafts and its maintenance taking into account the design improving in the last decades, considering that accurate estimation of the fatigue life is very important to ensure safety of components and its reliability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semi‐elliptical fatigue crack growth under rotating or reversed bending combined with steady torsion

M. Fonte, +1 more
- 01 Jun 1997 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the influence of steady torsion loading on fatigue crack growth rates under rotating or reversed bending is presented, where the growth and shape evolution of semi-elliptical surface cracks, starting from a chordal notch on the cylindrical specimen surface, was measured for several Mode III/mode I ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of steady torsion on fatigue crack growth in shafts

M. Fonte, +4 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of steady torsion loading on fatigue crack growth rates in power rotor shafts is analyzed for short and long cracks, and a 3D finite element analysis has also shown that stress intensity factor values at the corner crack surface depend on the steady-torsion value and the direction of applied torque.
