A contact stress capacity expression is derived for cylindrical worm sets by considering the as a helical rack mating with gear. The concept of equivalent spur gear defined instantaneous radius curvature in virtual plane utilized model formulation. All basic design parameters and are incorporated which explicitly shows influence base nominal helix angles on stress. By geometry engagement, activ...

BACKGROUND Biomechanical parameters of the hip have been suggested to have an important influence on the development of osteoarthritis. We aimed to find out whether higher stress is generated in a hip that subsequently results in earlier hip arthroplasty compared to the contralateral hip in the same subject. METHODS Standard anterior-posterior pelvic radiographs with no or subtle radiological...

This paper reports on spatially resolved measurements of the shear stress distribution at a frictional interface between a flat rubber substrate and a glass lens. Silicone rubber specimens marked close to their surface by a colored pattern have been prepared in order to measure the surface displacement field induced by the steady-state friction of the spherical probe. The deconvolution of this ...

Various stresses add to the railway rails and accumulate fatigue damage due to daily use. Fracture mechanics clarification concerning the growth behavior of cracks is needed, in order to decide the inspection period and the cycle [1], . Though the crack progression and influence of residual stress on fatigue strength has been researched [3] for many years, they are not clear now. The aims of th...
