Influence of Wear-Induced Turning on the Roll’s Fatigue Life by Francisko Lukša, Željko Domazet, Đorđe Dobrota, Branko Lalić

“…Friction-induced wear during the rolling process needs periodic remachining of caliber roll grooves, which increases operational costs and reduces roll fatigue life. Stress analysis showed that a regular reduction in the initial diameter by up to 3.5% results in a 12.2% increase in maximum stress amplitude, reducing the estimated fatigue life by a factor of 1.5. …”

Navigating pressure and connection: goal orientation, coach-athlete relationships, and burnout among Chinese collegiate athletes—a mixed-methods study by Le Wang, Hongye Lian

“…CAR commitment did not emerge as a unique predictive factor. Qualitative themes elaborated on these findings, highlighting how performance pressures were associated with goal orientation (e.g., ego orientation linked to cynicism via perceived system barriers) and the importance of specific functional CAR aspects (e.g., complementarity fostering competence, closeness associated with buffering life stress). …”
