The fatigue and wear characteristics of four different steel wheel materials are investigated in detail by using rolling contact fatigue and wear bench tests on a JD-1 apparatus, analyzing chemical composition and hardness, and performing profile analysis and micro-morphology analysis. The wear and fatigue behavior of one of the materials under different operation speeds is also investigated. The results show that the wear resistance of the materials has a positive correlation with their carbon content, while fatigue resistance has a negative correlation. Based on hardness analysis as a function of depth into the specimen, the thickness of layers with a steep hardness gradient has a negative correlation with the initial surface hardness in the tests using different materials. The hardness increments, however, have a positive correlation with initial surface hardness. The rolling tests on one material using different rotation speeds show that the hardness increments and the thickness of layers with a steep hardness gradient increase with the rotation speed. The analyses and experimental results demonstrate that two of the four materials exhibit good wear resistance and rolling contact fatigue resistance, making them suitable for either highspeed or heavy axle railroad operations.
Based on many inquiries, analyses and researches, alternate measures of science and social science are taken in this paper, considering series of geo-environmental effect, and the harmfulness of geological effects in Chongqing main city are analysed. The basic counter measures and managing measures are suggested to treat geo-environmental problems in Chongqing main city so that a long-term plan of city-developing and the objective of a struggle based on real situation are set up. The analytic results are helpful to solve the serious geo-environmental effects, and push forward the study of urban geo-environmental problems of underground engineering in Chongqing.
Taken the Houchuangzi slope debris flow along Kunming- -Songming highway as instance, analyzed the mineral composition of provenance on the slope debris flow adopted the polycrystal X ray diffractometer, which was rich in hydrophilic clay mineralssuch as kaolinite and montmorillnite; analyzed the fornation mechanism of the HouChuangzi slope debris flow by the laboratory model test, compartmentalized the fornation process of the HouChuangzi slope debris flow in to five stages from the aspects of slope debris flow morphology and crack extension mechanism.The results provide certain reference value for further research of the formation mechanical mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
