Abstract: The influence of roughness lay directionality on scuffing failure is studied considering different roughness lay direction combinations of the contacting surfaces of a ballondisk contact. Using a recently developed scuffing ...

Abstract: A permeable crack model is proposed to analyze crack growth in a piezoelectric ceramic. In this model, a permeable crack is modeled as a vanishing thin, finite dimension, rectangular slit with dielectric medium inside. A ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of the microdimple texture on the friction and surface temperature performances of a ball-on-disk contact, operating under the speed and load ranges that cover typical gearing applications. ...

Abstract: The aim of this work is to enable a step towards a self-adapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. The approach includes the simultaneous definition of ...

Abstract: AbstractErosion of open channels has been a common and costly problem. It occurs when the free-surface flow in a channel exerts turbulent boundary shear stress (BSS) on the channel bed or sidewalls exceeds a certain ...

Abstract: In this study, the wear depths under different loads, speeds, lubricant temperatures, and surface roughness amplitudes are experimentally determined using a twindisk rolling contact setup. A point contact wear model combining ...

Abstract: A modeling methodology is proposed to predict loaddependent (mechanical) power loss of cylindrical roller bearings under combined radial and moment loading with focus on planetary gear set planet bearings. This methodology ...

Abstract: The considerably low female student enrollments in construction management (CM) undergraduate degree programs have continued to draw attention from academia. With a cohort of local and international female students in a ...

Abstract: The aim of this work is to enable a step towards a selfadapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. The approach includes the simultaneous definition of the ...

Abstract: Water generally leaves a supply reservoir through a narrow rectangular concrete channel and enters a large trapezoidal earthen channel. The two channels are connected by a transition. Among the most common types of ...
