RESIDUAL LIFE PREDICTION AND CRACK GROWTH PROPERTY ANALYSIS FOR NO.17 GORGER COUPLER YOKE WITH SHALLOW SURFACE CRACK by JING ZhiMing, LIU YuJie, ZHANG Juan, KANG GuoZheng

“…The results show that the shape of the elliptical surface crack of the coupler yoke changes and tends to be narrow and long during the propagation process. In the case of 0.5 mm and 1 mm initial crack depth, the residual lives of the coupler yokes were simulated for various crack lengths, and simulated results show that the forged coupler yoke has high anti-fracture resistance. …”
