Role of Fatigue and Creep in Structural Damage: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Fatigue and creep are two critical degradation mechanisms that significantly influence the structural integrity and longevity of engineering materials. These phenomena arise due to different loading and environmental conditions but often coexist in various industrial applications, leading to severe material degradation over time. Fatigue primarily results from cyclic loading, where repeated stress variations induce microstructural damage and crack initiation, ultimately causing catastrophic failure. Conversely, creep occurs under sustained stress at …

Design and Development of Experimental Test Rig for Fatigue Life Estimation of Freewheel One-Way Clutch Used in Switchgear Applications at High Overrunning Speeds
Abstract: Freewheel one-way clutch (OWC) is a critical component used in industrial circuit breakers/switchgear to facilitate quick disengagement of the drive when an electrical circuit trips under overcurrent. The clutch acts as a safety device to endure high overrunning speeds and allows the drive shaft to rotate at normal operating speeds during each tripping cycle. The trip mechanism utilizes the stored potential energy of the helical compression spring, which is the …
