Digital image correlation (DIC) is a full field three dimensional measurement technique that can quantify displacements and strains of a surface. In this paper, digital image correlation is used as a slip measurement technique during coupon scale fretting fatigue experiments. Slip measured with the novel DIC technique is compared to conventional slip measurement techniques as clip gauges and modified...
Industrial fishing (e.g. bottom trawling) uses shackle chains as a sea soil rake to increase the catch. Serving in such extreme conditions (seawater, sand) results in limited lifetimes less than 6 months. To increase the lifetime, hardened ‘wear resistant’ chains could be a possible alternative but quantitative data on their lifetime is unclear. In this study we quantified the wear rate and wear mechanism...
During industrial fishing are link chains used to drag the trawls and churning of the seabed. The latter application wears off the steel chain in less than 6 months. However, there has been no tribological research concerning full scale testing of shackle chains in presence of seawater and sand. We therefore designed a new test rig at Ghent University, Soete Laboratory. The test rig generates wear...
