Aiming at the fracture issue of the gear shift arm in commercial vehicles equipped with the 8GS46B transmission, this study identified the root cause of the fracture and proposed engineering solutions to improve its reliability through the analysis of dynamic gear shift forces and failure mechanisms. A force model of the gear shift system was established based on gear shift synchronization performance; the dynamic loads borne by the gear shift arm were determined by integrating GSA (Gear Shift Analysis) tests, and the comparison between transient structural and static structural simulations revealed that transient structural simulation is more consistent with actual operating conditions. Under a load of 540 N, the directional change of the gear shift force caused a change in the stress state: the maximum stress at the welding center was 237 MPa without deflection, while after a 10° deflection, the stress at the welding center increased to 258 MPa and the stress at the bending position reached 222 MPa. Judged based on the strength design criteria and the fourth strength theory, these stress values exceeded the yield strength of Q235 steel (235 MPa), which is the fundamental cause of the fracture. This study proposed three improvement schemes: Scheme 1 involves increasing the width to 42 mm, which reduces the maximum equivalent stress to 171 MPa (before deflection) and 195 MPa (after deflection), respectively; Scheme 2 is replacing Q235 steel with Q355 steel, resulting in maximum equivalent stresses of 240 MPa and 280 MPa (before and after deflection, respectively); Scheme 3 adopts local optimization (fillet at the welding end and thickening at the bending position), which decreases the maximum equivalent stress to 111 MPa (before deflection) and 123 MPa (after deflection)—representing a reduction of 53.1 % and 52.3 % compared with the original structure. The safety factor of all three schemes reaches above 1.2, meeting the strength requirements; after a comprehensive evaluation, Scheme 1 is identified as the preferred scheme because it requires no process modification and balances economic efficiency. This study not only resolves the fracture problem of the gear shift arm, but its methodological framework also provides important reference for improving the reliability of similar structural components.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11677,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Failure Analysis","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 110113"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145095977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strain level at pore defects increases significantly with pore size, accompanied by a rise in hydrogen concentration at trap sites.

This study addresses the limited understanding of joints in large-scale trusses where the chord depth changes along the span and different web-member shapes converge at a single joint, referred to herein as a large-scale truss complex-chord (LSTCC) joint. Three full-scale LSTCC specimens were tested under the most adverse in-service loading condition, namely synchronous axial compression in all connected members, using a multi-axis loading frame capable of applying load vectors in three dimensions. The influences of chord-transition details and web-member cross-sections (H-section versus box-section) were investigated. The experiments revealed that (i) when an I-section web delivers load through its flanges, shear-dominated failure initiates in the joint at around 1.10 times full-section yield strength; (ii) replacing the web by a box section postpones joint failure to 1.30 times full-section yield strength; and (iii) adopting a smoother chord-transition detail further raises the capacity to 1.33 times full-section yield strength and markedly delays plasticity in the joint plates. A refined finite element model reproduced the observed failure modes and stress histories with high fidelity and was subsequently used for a parametric study. Numerical results demonstrate that gentler transition angles reduce stress concentrations, but eliminating the transition segment shifts plasticity to the chord with no net benefit. Besides, a slight thickness of joint area plates over chord members is sufficient to guarantee joint area integrity.

Firstly, variable and constant HCF loads were applied to two specimens, respectively. For the third one, local corrosion causing 15 % mass loss was imposed on the single-sided cutout of the diaphragm before constant HCF loading. For all above specimens with HCF damage, monotonic extreme loading was further applied until 15 % bending capacity loss. The results showed that with the local corrosion, fatigue cracks no longer occurred at the weld toe but the midpoint of the arc-shaped steel plate, not only accelerating the HCF damage but also decreasing the maximum bending capacity of the diaphragm component by 10 %, and leading to a 14.9 % reduction of residual bending capacity due to buckling compared with the uncorroded component.

Real-time crack lengths and structural stiffness degradation were obtained, within 10 % deviation from the test measurements.
