Thermal Stress During Separation for Ceramics Sleeve and Shaft Connected by Shrink Fitting

Thermal Diffusivity of Ceramics During Neutron Irradiation

Reverse Engineering for Designing the Coupling of a 32 MW Rotor-generator by Shrink Fitting Method (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor formed after a machining process on a mono block forged rotor. In some areas imposed damages caused the breaking off and detachment of some parts in the coupling flange. Becau...

Thermal-stress resistance and fracture toughness of two tool ceramics

The thermal-stress resistance and fracture strength behaviour of two oxide ceramics (a hot-pressed pure AI203 and a composite ceramic NTK-HC2) subjected to severe thermal shocks have been investigated. The damage resistance parameter (Kic/of)2 for both ceramics is also determined for a wide range of temperatures (25 ~ to 800 ~ C) and cross-head rates (10 -2 cm min -1 ~ 2.5 m sec -1 ). Fracture ...

Optimization of rotor shaft shrink fit method for motor using “Robust design”

This research is collaborative investigation with the general-purpose motor manufacturer. To review construction method in production process, we applied the parameter design method of quality engineering and tried to approach the optimization of construction method. Conventionally, press-fitting method has been adopted in process of fitting rotor core and shaft which is main component of motor...

Features of the stress field at the surface of a flush shrink - fit shaft

The state of stress induced by a shrink-fitted circular shaft in an elastically similar half-space, positioned so that the end of the shaft is flush with the remainder of the free surface, is studied. At deep interior points the classical plane strain (Lamé) solution obtains, and the transition to the free surface state is found. It is found that a residual interfacial axial shear develops and ...
