Abstract: In this study, the behavior and scale effect of shallow circular anchors in two-layered sand is evaluated by comparing the results of a conventional

Abstract: The effects of surface kinematic conditions on micro-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (micro-EHL) are investigated under rolling and/or sliding point contact conditions using the optical interferometry ...

Abstract: In this study, three-dimensional finite-element models incorporating a Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic material model were validated for the evaluation of the shape effect of square and circular surface footings under vertical ...

Abstract: As a result of examining a relationship between inlet and inside flow patterns in the pure conical mixed-flow diffuser, it was disclosed that a comparatively uniform flow in the diffuser would ...

Abstract: A new type of hourglass worm gearing is developed by the authors’ own theories [1], [2]. This hourlgass worm gearing has the good points of Hindley’s one and also covers the weak points of ...

Abstract: To examine the statistical fatigue life properties of welded joints, fatigue tests were performed on a number of butt-welded specimens, in parallel with similar tests conducted on small specimens ...

Abstract: Using the optical interferometry technique the film profile in circular elastohydrodynamic contacts is examined with several kinds of fluid under wide ranges of loads and speeds. It is found ...

Abstract: The authors developed a new type of hourglass worm gearing based on the authors’ own theories [1, 2]. The worm having the developable tooth surface can be ground precisely. The pair of the ...

Abstract: Using a series of straight mineral oils with a variety of molecular weight distributions failure loads of spur gears with gear ratios 27:25 and 1:1 were investigated. The failure loads in the ...
