Abstract: For a stationary crack of an initially finite root radius in plane-strain tension, the strain fields around the smoothly blunted crack-tip are calculated for each deformation stage using the ...

Abstract: The drift torque produced in a spherical ball bearing supporting a directional gyro is obtained. The analysis is based on static load balance and Coulomb friction. The effects of preload and ...

Abstract: A transfer matrix-direct integration combined method is proposed, which employs the transfer matrix method to derive the equations of motion of a “characteristic disk,” and uses the direct ...

Abstract: A criterion is suggested for the application of the steady state elastohydrodynamic theories to the analysis of involute gear contacts. The criterion is based on a comparison of two physical ...

Abstract: This paper draws attention to pin gearing for its antibacklash gear property. The gear tooth curve derived from a cycloidal curve furnishes the pin gearing with kinematic antibacklash, low ...
