Abstract: A type of modifiedhourglass worm gear drive, frequently called typeII worm gearing for short, has various favorable meshing features. Its sole shortcoming is the undercutting of the worm wheel. By adopting a slight ...

Abstract: The paper presents a computationally efficient method for system reliability analysis of mechanisms. The reliability is defined as the probability that the output error remains within a specified limit in the entire target ...

Abstract: The sweeping jet actuator (SJA), widely studied as a potential flow control method in compressors and turbines, results in unnecessary performance losses due to its requirement for additional energy and mass input. In this ...

Abstract: The axial piston pump (APP) is the core power component of hydraulic systems. Its friction pair wear can cause the degradation of piston pump performance until the function is completely lost or the service life is terminated. ...
