Abstract: The stress distributions associated with frictionless and smooth surfaces in contact are rarely experienced in practice. Factors such as layers, friction, surface roughness, lubricant films, and ...

Abstract: A streamline curvature method for calculating S1 surface flow in turbines is presented. The authors propose a simple method in which a domain of calculation can be changed into an orderly ...

Abstract: A design of a four square gear test rig that allows the wear of polymer and composite gears to be monitored continuously during operation is described. The wear behavior of three typical ...
