The demand for silent bearing applications has resulted in the development of an effective damping layer between the outer ring of a rolling bearing and the surrounding structure. By means of numerical modeling using both FEM and BEM techniques an induction motor for household appliances is analyzed. A hybrid modeling approach combining measured structural velocities with a BEM formulation is u...

Growing rats and adult weight-stable mice bearing a transplantable methylcholanthrene-induced sarcoma were compared with animals with various states of malnutrition. Heart protein synthesis was measured in vivo. Myocardial RNA, myofibrillar protein composition and the Ca2+-activated ATPase activity in heavy chains of native myosin were measured. 'Fingerprints' were made from myosin by trypsin t...

Diameter and diametral clearance of the bearing surfaces of metal-on-metal hip implants and structural supports have been recognised as key factors to reduce the dry contact and hydrodynamic pressures and improve lubrication performance. On the other hand, application of aspherical bearing surfaces can also significantly affect the contact mechanics and lubrication performance by changing the r...

The paper report on the studies of effect severe plastic deformation structure and properties, including corrosion behavior, 110C-18Cr-Mo bearing steel. Various structural states were formed by methods (SPD) subsequent heat treatment. It is shown that SPD treatment lead to formation a homogeneous with uniform distribution carbides. In this case, leads reduction volume fraction carbides an incre...

The bearing characteristic frequencies (BCF) contain very little energy, and are usually overwhelmed by noise and higher levels of macro-structural vibrations. They are difficult to find in their frequency spectra when using the common technique of fast fourier transforms (FFT). Therefore, Envelope Detection (ED) has always been used with FFT to identify faults occurring at the BCF. However, th...

In reinforced concrete design, there are situations where transfer of shear across a specific plane needs to be considered. Examples of such situation include corbels, bearing shoes, ledger beam bearing, and a host of connection between precast concrete elements. In this study, the shear transfer behavior of reinforced concrete is investigated experimentally by conducting test on 6 precracked p...

To reduce the transmission of shafting longitudinal vibration in surface ships, a design thrust bearing integrated with internal disc springs is proposed and characteristics are studied. According to structural deformation springs, specific size combination forms designed, effective schemes achieved according static dynamic requirements. With integration into bearing, peak displacement response...
