Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...

A recurrent neural network is studied in this paper. A multi–context–recurrent neural network is defined and trained with back propagation, and is then applied to the short–term energy load forecasting task. The idea is to predict a daily maximum load for an arbitrary month ahead. A multi–context–recurrent neural network model was simulated and trained with different training sets to predict th...

In order to solve the problems of ill-balanced task allocation, long response time, low throughput rate and poor performance when the cluster system is assigning tasks, we introduce the concept of entropy in thermodynamics into load balancing algorithms. This paper proposes a new load balancing algorithm for homogeneous clusters based on the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM). By calculating the entr...

This study is to evaluate the behavior of integral and segmental specimens through static and cyclic tests. Integral specimens were made with the same size to be compared with segmental specimens that were made by connected precast members. To evaluate its bending performance and serviceability, 1 integral and 3 segmental specimens were tested under static load. And 1 integral and 2 segmental s...
