Abstract: A physics-based fluid mechanics model is proposed to predict spin power losses of gear pairs due to oil churning and windage. While the model is intended to simulate oil churning losses in ...

Abstract: Plates resting on an elastic medium are normally analyzed in a simplified way using the linear Winkler foundation approach. Nevertheless, plates resting on layered medium with vast differences in their moduli exhibit ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on load-independent (spin) power losses of spur gear pairs operating under dip-lubricated conditions. The experiments were performed over ...

Abstract: Transmission line towers, though designed per code provisions, may fail during mandatory testing required in many countries. Different types of premature failures that were observed during full-scale testing of transmission ...
