Influence of Sodium Microalloying on Rolling Contact Endurance and Mechanical Properties of Hot-Deformed Powder Steels

Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals - Rolling bearing rings comprise a large reserve for expanding powder metallurgy production. This reserve is being incompletely implemented. The hot forging of...     

Structure–phase state of the surface layers in rails subjected to differential hardening

A layer-by-layer analysis of the structures, the phase compositions, and the defect substructures of differentially hardened rails has been carried by optical and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the material volume of the rail head fillet is cooled faster than the volume located along the central axis.     

Optimal Placement of Dampers on Multistorey Frames Using Dynamic Analysis

Strength of Materials - The use of a damping system is one of the seismic protection systems that improve the seismic response of structures. The proposed methodology estimates the location (which...     

Effect of Railcar Wheel Tire Profiles on the Contact Stress Level in Subway Rails

Strength of Materials - The statistical analysis performed on the defectiveness of rails in the Kiev subway railway shows that the main cause of the occurrence of most defects is the contact...
