Abstract:
A probabilistic estimation of fatigue crack life of a component is provided. A plurality of representations of the component is defined from material property scatter data and flaw-size scatter data, wherein each representation is defined by one possible material condition and flaw-size condition associated with the component. For each representation, a component location is selected and a determination is made whether said individual representation fails after a given number of cycles N, based on the calculation of a crack growth in the selected location. The crack growth is calculated on the basis of the material condition and the flaw-size condition in the selected location. Failure of the individual representation is determined if the crack growth is determined to be unstable. The sum total of the number of the representations that failed after N cycles is determined. A probability of failure of the component after N cycles is then determined.

Abstract:
A size inspection device includes an inspection frame, a transferring belt, a positioning assembly, an inspection assembly, a suction assembly, and a controller. The transferring belt is slidably mounted on the inspection frame. The positioning assembly, the inspection assembly, the suction assembly, and the controller are mounted on the inspection frame. The controller is electrically connected to the inspection assembly and the suction assembly. When the positioning assembly positions the workpiece on the transferring belt below the inspection assembly, the inspection assembly obtains size value of the workpiece and transfers it to the controller, the controller compares the size value to a preset standard range to determine whether or not the workpiece has passed quality inspection, and controls the suction assembly to handle the workpiece which is not of passing quality away from the transferring belt.
Abstract:
A device for measuring and marking lines and points on a steel I-beam includes a rib for contacting the outside of an I-beam flange along a line opposite the center of the beam web, a measuring blade that rests on the beam web and measures distances from the outside of the flange, and a bridge for connecting the measuring blade to the rib in a way in which the measuring blade is held perpendicular to the flange. The device marks I-beams faster and more accurately that was possible using prior art tools and techniques.

Abstract:
Apparatus is provided for the lineal measurement of continuous or stranded materials, such as cloth, otherwise transported past such apparatus. A gravity operated contact wheel is used to bias the materials into engagement with a measuring wheel, the rotation of which generates incremental distance pulses which are summed in a counter. An electric eye is used to detect the presence of materials to be measured so that a measurement count is held as a trailing edge of such materials departs from between the measuring roll and contact roll. The entire device may be supported on a support base which is in turn adapted to fit into a preformed opening or slot in the top surface of a work area such as a cloth cutting table. In such instance, the measuring device operates to measure cloth drawn across the table and in between the measuring and contact rolls. A display is provided to show the amount of cloth transported between the two rolls, with the entire device being bidirectional so that a user may advance or retract the cloth so as to obtain a selected or given length of cloth to be cut or otherwise processed. The counter operates in conjunction with cloth sensing to hold an accumulated measurement for a given segment of cloth whenever a trailing edge of such cloth segment is detected leaving from between the measuring and contact rolls.
