Abstract: This paper reports a theoretical and experimental investigation of the displacement and pressure responses of a closed loop hydraulic servo to a very large step input. The latter ensures that ...

Abstract: Approximate equations produced by Trachman |15| are used to predict the coefficient of sliding friction between the gear teeth. These equations apply when the lubrication regime is elastohydrodynamic; ...

Abstract: A sensing device is described which measures the magnitude, direction, and position of force in the plane of the sensor. The basic sensing method is by strain gauge bridges, the outputs of ...

Abstract: The use of surface treated high tensile carbon fibers as reinforcing in acrylic bone cement is discussed. This reinforcement is shown to have certain advantages over untreated high modulus ...
