Abstract: Although gerotor pumps are used in a wide range of industrial applications, higher work pressure causes shock or collision among pump components, which leads to large stress fluctuations and shortened pump life expectancy. ...

Abstract: Removing heat from mass concrete at initial construction is important for assuring the quality of the concrete after curing. It serves two main purposes, preventing the excessive stress development within the concrete when ...

Abstract: Cycloidal speed reducers are composed primarily of an eccentric shaft, output parts, and a set comprising a cycloidal gear and pinwheel with pins or a cycloidal gear and cycloid internal gear. This paper investigates the ...

Abstract: Van der Waals force between neutral molecules is employed to characterize the interaction among molecules in asphalt cement. Several important consequences emerge from the consideration. The brittle strength of the asphalt ...

Abstract: Conventional approaches for deriving optimal production lot size are by using the differential calculus on the production-inventory cost function with the need to prove optimality first. Recent ...

Abstract: An Airy stress function has been used to formulate the internal stresses in an isotropic body in terms of the distribution of inelastic strains under the conditions of plane stress and plane ...

Abstract: Rotating beam fatigue test has been performed at room temperature for two types of advanced hot-pressed silicon nitrides. The test completion modes consist of fast fracture, fatigue fracture, ...
