Abstract: The static characteristics of magnetized journal bearing, which is lubricated with ferrofluid, are investigated. The magnetic force acting on the ferrofluid is obtained using a solenoid model for ...

Abstract: The perturbation method is often used when calculating the oil film stiffness and damping coefficients of journal bearings. The oil pressure is divided into two parts, steady-state pressure and ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures inevitably experience variable mechanical loads and continuous degradation from aggressive environments such as deicing salts. In this study, several electrochemical measurements were performed ...

Abstract: A solar dynamic (SD) power system composed of a concentrating solar collector and an irreversible Brayton cycle system is set up, where the heat losses of the collector are dominated by the ...

Abstract: A quasi-three-dimensional numerical procedure is proposed to simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer in the shell-side of steam surface condensers. The proposed procedure is applied to an ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model for the analysis of transmission errors of helical gears under load. The model accommodates the modification of tooth surfaces, gear misalignments and the deformation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed investigation on the manufacturing, tooth geometry and contact characteristics of face gear drives with offset axes. In the paper, the tooth geometry of offset ...

Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate and understand the behavior of a wrinkled energy pipeline when subjected to sustained monotonic axial compressive deformation. This study involved both ...
