ABSTRACT: An attempt has been made to study and analyze the performance of a magnetic fluid based squeeze film in a rough porous parallel plate slider bearing. The bearing surfaces are considered to be transversely rough. The random roughness of the bearing surfaces is characterized by a stochastic random variable with non-zero mean, variance and skewness. A magnetic fluid is taken as the lubri...

the problem of a footing on slope is encountered regularly in engineering practice, with some noteworthy examples being bridge abutments and basement excavations. in this paper, the bearing capacity of a footing replaced near a slope crest was studied. model tests were carried out using square model footing of 100 mm width. a tank 0.3 m deep, 0.6 m wide, and 0.9 m long was used for the model be...

The bearing capacity of a new double ring reducer increases with the increase of load because of the elastic deformation of the gear tooth. In order to solve the problem of its bearing capacity quantificationally, the concept of the maximal bearing capacity is put forward. Starting with that the single tooth bending stress is up to the bending fatigue strength, a mathematical model to determine...

Foundation design must satisfy limited values of settlement. Settlement is an essential criterion in the design process of shallow foundations. To calculate the settlement under different types of shallow foundations, 79 samples were taken from twenty-three sites distributed in three regions: Mosul, Baghdad and Basrah in the northern, central and southern parts of Iraq. Field and laboratory tes...

The hydroxylating activities of liver microsomes for proges terone and testosterone were markedly decreased in male and female rats bearing Walker carcinosarcoma 256. The decreases in the hydroxylating activities were greater in the male rats than in the female rats. The content of cytochrome P-450 in liver microsomes was decreased in the tumor-bearing male and female rats. Moreover, the bindin...

A high capacity aerodynamic air bearing (HCAB) has been developed for the laser scanning market. The need for increasing accuracies in the prepress and print plate-making market is causing a shift from ball bearing to air bearing scanners. Aerostatic air bearings are a good option to meet this demand for better performance however, these bearings tend to be expensive and require an additional a...

The structures of every kind rest on the soil under laying them. The stability of these structures depends upon the load carrying capacity of the soil. The bearing capacity of soil also depends upon the quantum of coarser particles presents in it. The plate load test is used for the design of footing. Therefore, in the present investigation, the plate load tests were conducted to study the sand...

In order to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground for the purpose of getting trafficability of construction vehicles, the reinforcement of geosynthetics for sand-mat layers on soft ground has often been used. As the strength of the geosynthetics increases, and the sand-mat system becomes stronger, the bearing capacity of sand-mat systems will be increased. The depths of geosynthetics, rei...
