Industrial Scalable Rolling Element Bearing Diagnostic and Prognostic Modelling
Rolling element bearings are a critical component in nearly any rotating system. They operate at significant loads and speeds and must withstand various forms of harsh environmental factors. Due to this, they can be prone to rolling contact fatigue failure, especially in industrial applications …

Investigations into Flange Surface Friction Effects on Shear Stud Load Transfer in Composite Bridge Girders
… demands on shear studs during service-level loading consider only bearing load transfer, neglecting adhesion bonding and friction load transfer between the concrete deck and girder flange. Quantifying alternative load transfer mechanisms across the steel-concrete interface may result in …

A Multi-Point Measurement Technique for the Enhancement of Force Measurement with Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB)
Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have the ability to act concurrently as support bearings and as load sensing measurement tools. Previous work in the area of AMB force measurement has relied upon basic magnetic equations requiring knowledge of coil currents and air gap lengths. Some researchers have …

The Development of Sustainable Lime-Based Building Wall Components
… especially in certain applications such as low-bearing load situations. From the environmental and sustainability analysis results, the unfired LOC-PFA bricks showed energy-efficiency and suggested viable economical alternatives to the traditionally fired building components. Using a five-tool …

Molecularly thin rheological and contact interfaces
… 1-2 nanometers thick) has been shown to provide bearing forces at the interface between contacting solid surfaces under light loads and high shear rates. This phenomenon is important, for example, in the head-disk contact in magnetic storage hard disk drives to ensure that some of the contact is …

Design of an internally pressurized aerostatic journal bearing for thermoacoustic engines
In this study an aerostatic journal bearing for reciprocating free pistons was designed for application with thermoacoustic engines. By taking advantage of the maxima and minima of the oscillating pressures inside the engine's cavity, the bearing does not rely on external pressurization by a pump, …

Thermal Gradients in Southwestern United States and the Effect on Bridge Bearing Loads
… has been done investigating the effect on bearing loads. The climate condition of the southwestern portion of the United States may cause larger thermal gradients than recommended by AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of …
