Abstract: A novel approach to the interpretation of material behavior under cyclic loading is presented. In this approach a nondimensional criterion, featuring the dynamic severity of applied load, is put ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of both experimental and analytical investigations into the conditions of failure for lamellar-graphite case iron under various modes of loading. The orientation ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experiments conducted on lamellar graphite grey cast iron of rectangular section subjected to pure bending. Strain measurements confirm the traditional speculation ...

Abstract: In this paper the optimal disk spring is defined. Spring resilience is used as an objective function in order to attain maximum utilization of material. Various constraints on stress and/or ...

Abstract: A special apparatus is designed to measure the oil-film thickness between two stationary disks (simulating meshing gear teeth) by applying a-c or d-c potential across the film and measuring its ...

Abstract: A testing machine has been designed to investigate the performance of the lubricating oil film between two independently driven circular disks in line contact under conditions of combined rolling ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of isotropic rotors which are equally stressed in radial and tangential directions, the merit criteria being maximum inertia per unit mass, coupled with ...

Abstract: This paper deals with design configurations that would maximize energy stored per unit mass of flywheel and would also lead to more uniform stress distribution within yield limits. A “shape ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental investigations conducted on a disk machine specially designed and constructed to determine film behavior under elastohydrodynamic lubrication conditions. ...

Abstract: Performance characteristics for a complete journal bearing of finite axial length are obtained analytically using a new set of boundary conditions. The generalized Reynolds equation is transformed, ...
