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: Models which can be used to calculate the internal stresses within wound rolls of web material have all been confirmed to the center winding technique to date. The mechanism by which a nip ...

Abstract: Linear quadratic regulator (LQR) formulation has been used extensively in many control systems designed for structural control applications due to its stability and robustness. However, recent results obtained from simulation, ...

Abstract: The problem of a circular cylindrical inclusion with uniform eigenstrain in an elastic half-space is studied by using the Green’s function technique. Explicit solutions are obtained for the ...

Abstract: Fuji film has been widely used in studies aimed at obtaining the contact mechanics of articular joints. Once sealed for practical use in biological joints, Fuji Pressensor film has a total ...

Abstract: The composition and amount of extracellular matrix produced by chondrocytes are thought to be influenced by the stress and strain states in the vicinity of the chondrocytes. During daily ...

Abstract: In our recent paper, we studied the joint contact mechanics between two symmetric, spherical, cortical bones covered with biphasic, linearly elastic cartilage layers. We analyzed the effects of ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present direct comparisons of experimental results on transition in wall-bounded flows obtained by flow visualizations, hot-film measurement, and particle-image velocimetry, along ...

Abstract: This paper extends the build–operate–transfer (BOT) concession model (BOTCcM) to establishing a risk concession model for BOT contract projects. The decision for a concession period is one of the most important decisions ...

Abstract: A method combining moiré interferometry, Twyman–Green interferometry, and blind hole drilling method is proposed for simple and accurate determination of residual stress. The relationship between ...
