The Design, Generation, and Simulation of Meshing of Worm-Gear Drive With Longitudinally Localized Contacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design and simulation of meshing of a single enveloping worm-gear drive with a localized bearing contact is considered. The bearing contact has a longitudinal direction and two branches of ...
Schlieren Observation of Spark-Ignited Premixed Charge Combustion Phenomena Using a Transparent Collimating Cylinder Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The schlieren photographs of in-cylinder processes in a spark-ignited premixed charge gasoline engine were observed via a transparent collimating cylinder and were presented in comparison with a ...
Design Modification for Reducing Silent Chain Annoying Noise
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the design of driving systems, silent chains have extensively replaced roller chains thanks to annoying noise problems. For some types of cab-motorcycles, especially sheet-frame cabs, however, ...
Force Equilibrium Approach for Linearization of Constrained Mechanical System Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to derive a linearized form of dynamic equations for constrained mechanical systems. The governing equations for constrained mechanical systems are generally expressed ...
On the Criterion for the Determination Transition Onset and Breakdown to Turbulence in Wall-Bounded Flows1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Starting from the basic conservation laws of fluid flow, we investigated transition and breakdown to turbulence of a laminar flat plate boundary layer exposed to small, statistically stationary, ...
A Design Method of an Automotive Wheel-Bearing Unit With Discrete Design Variables Using Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency of the design process and the quality of the resulting design, this study proposes a design method for determining design variables of an automotive wheel-bearing ...
An Overset Finite-Element Large-Eddy Simulation Method With Applications to Turbomachinery and Aeroacoustics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical method for the prediction of an unsteady fluid flow in a complex geometry that involves moving boundary interfaces is presented in this paper. The method is also applicable to the ...
The Motion of a Rolling Polygon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Galileo was the first to analyze the motion of spheres rolling down an inclined surface. Since then, Coulomb’s law of dry friction has covered the case of sliding particles. However, a particle ...
Reduced Weight Design of a Flexible Rotor with Ball Bearing Stiffness Characteristics Varying with Rotational Speed and Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an effective design approach for reducing the weight of a flexible rotor in ball bearings with rotational speed and load dependent stiffness characteristics under constraints ...
Transverse-Isotropic Elastic and Viscoelastic Solids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A set of invariants are presented for transverse-isotropic materials whose gradients produce strain fields, instead of deformation fields as is typically the case. Finite-strain theories for elastic ...
