Vorträge des sechsten LBF-Kolloquiums

This report contains 14 papers which have been presented at the sixth Colloquium of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Betriebsfestigkeit (LBF) on March 1st and 2nd, 1994 as well as 12 posters. The papers refer to the contact fatigue and surface damage of sintered steels under constant and variable Hertzian pressure, the optimization of the strength of thermically sprayed components, the determination of the increase of the fatigue strength by surface treatment, the fatigue life prediction of elastomere components, standardized load sequences as an instrument for the optimization of components under operational loads, methods for an efficient strenght evaluation of suspension components in the design stage, load data for the dimensioning of truck components under operational conditions in mainland of China, strength behaviour of cast iron under multiaxial stochastic stress conditions, fatigue behaviour of welds under multiaxial loading, application of the electron microscope for the damage an alysis, fatigue life prediction of integral-cast turbine wheels, reliability of fatigue strength data obtained on component-like specimens for the fatigue life prediction demonstrated on truck con-rods and wheel spindles, stress analysis of components by combining computer simulation and experiments, and computer aided optimal dimensioning of spot-welded components.
