A method of the wear prognosis of sliding bearings
Journal Title: Archive of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
The considerations presented in this paper include a computer analysis of slide bearing wear prognosis using the solutions of recurrence equations complemented with the experimental data values. On the ground of the results obtained from analytical and computational numerical calculations, and taking into account the experimental parameters of bearing material and operation boundary conditions, the control problems of slide bearing wear surfaces have been presented. The obtained results allow us to see a connection between roughness, material properties, the amplitude of vibrations, the kind of the friction forces, the hardness of materials, the sliding speed in one side and the wear increments in succeeding time units of the exploitation process in other side.

Implementation of a geometric constraint regularization for multibody system models
Redundant constraints in MBS models severely deteriorate the computational performance and accuracy of any numerical MBS dynamics simulation method. Classically this problem has been addressed by means of numerical decom...
Semi-analytical solution of functionally graded circular short hollow cylinder subject to transient thermal loading
In this paper, by using a semi-analytical solution based on multi-layered approach, the authors present the solutions of temperature, displacements, and transient thermal stresses in functionally graded circular hollow c...
Reliability assessment of a turbogenerator coil retaining ring based on low cycle fatigue data
Turbogenerator coil retaining rings are shrunk-fitted onto the rotor over the coils, in order to restrain them against the centrifugal force. They are typically subjected to low cycle fatigue, with a cycle being complete...
Application of the strip yield model to crack growth predictions for structural steel
A strip yield model implementation by the present authors is applied to predict fatigue crack growth observed in structural steel specimens under various constant and variable amplitude loading conditions. Attention is p...
A semi-analytical solution of thick truncated cones using matched asymptotic method and disk form multilayers
In this article, the thick truncated cone shell is divided into disk-layers form with their thickness corresponding to the thickness of the cone. Due to the existence of shear stress in the truncated cone, the equations...
