Abstract: For manufacturing personnel there exist two major tasks: determination of the quality of the build, and locating build errors if the quality is inferior. To serve this purpose a coordinate ...

Abstract: This paper is focused on the real area of contact for paper-based wet friction materials during the engagement of wet clutches. The deformation of the wet friction material is identified as ...

Abstract: The engagement of a wet clutch with skewed surface roughness was investigated. A Weibull asperity height distribution rather than a Gaussian one was utilized in the asperity contact pressure ...

Abstract: In this investigation, three materials and several surface finishes on cylinder walls were compared in laboratory tests that simulate the running-in behavior of fired engines. The three materials ...

Abstract: An experimental procedure is proposed for studying the underhead and thread friction in fasteners. The effective bearing friction radius, the underhead friction coefficient, and the thread friction ...

Abstract: The effective radius is a very important factor in determining frictional torque under the bolt head and nut in bolted joints. Since the effective radius is hard to be precisely determined ...
