A paper published in « Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis« , october 2014.

24” pipeline carrying oil was failed in the form of longitudinal crack at the 6 O’clock position resulting in oil spill. The failed pipe was investigated to reveal the main cause of its failure. The procedure of investigation was built on studying the intact pipe, rupture area, parent material, and intact weld. Cracks were originated from weld defected sites, initiated by grooving corrosion, propagated by inertia at the normal designed pressure condition, and stopped when stress relief is attained.

fasternerA paper presented at « International Conference on Electromechanical Control Technology and Transportation » (ICECTT 2015).

The paper deals with the bending tests of new designed joints for bus skeletons. The frames of buses have to satisfy various demands, but the safety of the passengers is the priority. The actual welded joints should be replaced by new type of profiles connections in the future. Finite elements method was used for the bending test simulation and for the stress investigation; the real experiments were done using the universal test equipment ZD10/90. Obtained results are comparable, so authors aim to realize next experiments in next days at which other shapes of the joints will be tested. Read more
