Criteria for the fatigue design of highly stressed cast iron and cast aluminium components

摘要

Methods for assessment of fatigue strength. Dimensioning of cast iron hubs for utility vehicles(loading spectrum, dimensioning criteria, proof-out of fatigue strength in the biaxial wheel testequipment, further effects influencing the fatigue strength, consequences). Dimensioning of castaluminium gear-box housings for rail commuter vehicles (loading spectrum, component relatedmaterial behaviour, estimation of fatigue life, experiments, consequences).
