Abstract: There is direct interaction between crankshaft and bearing in an internal combustion engine. The effect of lubrication status of bearing was not considered in the present calculation of crankshaft ...

Abstract: In this paper, the analyses of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of crankshaft bearings considering the deformation of the whole cylinder block and crankshaft under load were carried out for ...

Abstract: A general computer model to investigate the ultimate strength behavior of regularly and irregularly shaped reinforced concrete columns subjected to axial load and biaxial bendings based on the Chinese Code GBJ 10‐89 and ...

Abstract: Journal bearing friction pair system is one of the most general and essential parts used in various mechanical devices. A special test bench is developed for the study on lubrication performance ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the influence of aggregate homogeneity on the indirect tensile (IDT) strength of asphalt mixtures using imaging and discrete-element method. An aggregate homogeneity index, which was used to ...

Abstract: Journal misalignment exists generally in journal bearings. When severe journal misalignment takes place, the minimum film thickness of journal bearings reduces greatly. In this condition, the ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the shear fatigue performance of asphalt mixture and factors influencing performance using a three-dimensional (3D) discrete element method (DEM) incorporated with the Burgers model. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate a leader-follower spacecraft formation flying (SFF) mission, which is comprised of two identical spacecraft carrying large-scale antenna arrays. The mission requires spaced antenna arrays and ...

Abstract: The urban form and transportation cycle are common yet crucial factors for urban managers and transportation planners to devise effective transportation management strategies. This paper considers the effects of transit ...
