Wind turbine pitch/yaw bearings are relatively big and have different operating conditions like very heavy load to support compared with widely used industrial bearings. Once pitch/yaw bearings failed, according to their special surroundings, serious damages like higher repair costs and additional costs by stopped electricity generation are occur. Therefore, pitch/yaw bearings must be designed to have enough strength and fatigue life under actual operating conditions. In this study, with finite element analysis, it was investigated that stress distribution between rolling elements and raceway and comparatively analyzed using widely used guideline (NREL DG03). Design parameters of wind turbine pitch/yaw bearings are also analyzed, and it could be used as reference for the large bearing design field.

Highly compressible Ni-Mo steels are attractive materials for PM due to high sinter density and ease of processing. Extra-fine Ni admixed PM steels have demonstrated improved mechanical properties and rolling contact fatigue resistance due to a more uniform microstructure and increased Ni diffusion during sintering. Sinter densities of single press single sinter XF Ni-Mo steels can approach $7.5\;g/cm^3$ at moderate compaction pressures. Leaner alloys based on extra-fine Ni powder are possible depending on the performance requirements of the PM steel part. Extra-fine Ni steels are particularly attractive for the growing market of high performance PM gears and sprockets.

Rail breaks and derailments can cause a huge loss to rail players due to loss of service, revenue, property or even life. Maintenance has huge impact on reliability and safety of railroads. It is important to identify factors behind rail degradation and their risks associated with rail breaks and derailments. Development of mathematical models is essential for prediction and prevention of risks due to rail and wheel set damages, rail breaks and derailments. This paper addresses identification of hazard modes, estimation of probability of those hazards under operating, curve and environmental condition, probability of detection of potential hazards before happening and severity of those hazards for informed strategic decisions. Emphasis is put on optimal maintenance and operational decisions. Real life data is used for illustration.

The temperature distribution of steady state rolling tires with detailed tread blocks is numerically predicted using the three dimensional full patterned tire model. A three dimensional periodic patterned tire model is constructed by copying 1-sector mesh in the circumferential direction. Using the static tire contact analysis, the strain cycles during one revolution are approximated with the strains at Guassian points of the elements which are sector-wise repeated within the same circular ring of elements, by neglecting the tire rolling effect. Based upon the multi-axial fatigue theory, the maximum principal strain is used to represent the combined effect of six strain components on the hysteretic loss. In the following, the deformation due to the inflation and vertical load is calculated using ABAQUS. Then heat generation rate in each element is calculated using an in-house code. Lastly, temperature distribution is calculated using ABAQUS again. Through the numerical experiments, the validity of the proposed prediction method is examined by comparing with the experiment and the temperature distribution of a patterned tire model is compared with those of the main-grooved simple tire model.

In long freight trains, there is a brake time delay in the neighboring freight cars that causes damage and fractures of couplers, especially the knuckle of them. If there is a problem for couplers in the cars, this could cause a derailment and lead to damage of human life and property damage. In this study, maximum forces on the couplers are studied when a long freight car brakes, with brake delay time and coupler gap. We have made a dynamic model of 50 freight cars and couplers, applying contact between couplers and a characteristic curve for expressing force and displacement of buffers with SIMPACK, a multi-body dynamics program. We use EN 14531-2 from the British Standards Institution, a standard of freight car brakes for the verification of the dynamic model. We also use a simplified method to analyze the dynamic model of 50 freight cars. With changing coupler gap and brake delay time, we do comparative analysis with AAR M-201 from the Association of American Railroads, a standard of AAR couplers. From this result, we find that the standard on fatigue limit is satisfied, such that the brake delay time is within 0.06 second if the coupler gap of the AAR coupler is within 20 millimeters.

The caster roll shells have the good thermal conductivity and the low thermal expansion and have to exhibit high enough strength and good ductility at temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$. Thermal stress in particular is very high due to the contact with the liquid aluminium. The main stresses are of thermal origin, which bring a plastic fatigue on surface. This paper will represent one survey about the investigation of the failure of roll shells for continuous casters and an analysis using the simulation of the temperature distribution and the state of stress during hot rolling. Moreover, there will be a discussion on the roll shell of Mod. HAR 5 which is developed by heat treatment process. Mod. HAR 5 has advantages of high strength, high toughness and increased thermal stress resistance while maintaining the same productivity as the conventional roll.

레일 피로 열화손상유형들은 크게 레일표면에서 발생하는 결함들과 레일내부에서 진전되어 발생하는 결함들로 구분되어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 연간 누적통과톤수가 가장 많은 도시철도의 운행조건을 고려하여 현장측정을 통해 레일표면 요철성장률을 분석하였으며, 연마 후 누적통과톤수에 따른 시험편을 현장에서 발췌하여 현미경을 이용한 조직검사, 화학성분검사, 마이크로 비커스 경도시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 신품레일의 경우 유효탈탄층 제거를 위해 약 0.3mm의 초기연마를 시행해야하며, 예방연마의 경우 전구간을 일괄적으로 연마할 경우와 특정 구간별로 구분하여 연마할 경우에 대하여 2가지 방안을 제시하여 레일표면에서 발생하는 RCF결함을 예방하거나 제거할 수 있도록 제시하였다.

철도 레일은 차륜과 레일의 접촉면인 레일 표면에서 구름 접촉 피로 균열이 상시 발생할 수 있는 조건이기 때문에 균열의 상태를 철저히 점검하고 절손을 방지하기 위한 정밀한 점검 및 진단이 필요하다. 최근 궤도 시설의 성능 평가에 대한 세부 지침에서는 궤도 성능평가를 위한 방법과 절차에 관한 필요사항을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 레일 표면 손상을 진단하고 등급을 산정하는 것은 주로 외관 조사(육안 조사)에 의존하며, 이는 점검자의 주관적인 판단에 따른 정성적인 평가에 의존할 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Fast R-CNN을 사용하여 레일 표면 결함 검출에 대한 딥러닝 모델 연구를 수행하였다. 레일 표면 결함 이미지의 데이터 세트를 구축한 후, 모델을 테스트하였다. 딥러닝 모델의 성능평가 결과에서 mAP가 94.9%로 나타났다. Fast R-CNN의 균열 검출 효과가 높기 때문에 이 모델을 사용하면 레일표면 결함을 효율적으로 식별할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
