In this paper, the calculation model and method of the lubrication performance of the thrust bearing, which considers the thermal bomb deformation, are constructed based on the working characteristics of the main pump thrust of the nuclear power plan...

Uneven inter-stage pressure drops of the common two-stage brush seal (CBS) lead to a problem that the second stage bristles bear excessive pressure load, and this problem leads to the premature failure of the brush seal. In this paper, a novel two-st...

Anisotropic microstructures and wear resistance are caused by large thermal gradients during selective laser melting (SLM). Investigating the wear resistance in different planes of SLM specimens is crucial. Hence, the effect of heat treatment on the...

The automotive industry faces increasing challenges due to fuel scarcity and pollutant emissions, necessitating the implementation of strategies that optimize engine performance while minimizing the environmental impact. This study aimed to analyze t...

Surface roughness plays a crucial role in determining surface quality, influencing factors such as vibration, noise, assembly precision, lubrication, and wear resistance in bearings. This research examines how surface roughness (Sa) affects the frict...

Squeal refers to a sustained high-intensity noise resulting from friction-induced vibrations. Although it is known that it originates from mode coupling, the conditions under which it occurs are still unclear, especially regarding the contact conditi...

This paper conducts wear tests of rotating shafts and bearings, and collects the wear amount, surface morphology, and friction force signals to study its tribological behaviors using the fractal and chaotic analysis. The rotation shaft surface fracta...

In a world where the incidence of non-specific lower back pain (LBP) is steadily increasing, researchers are still searching for effective solutions for patients. Hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplementation is commonly used to restore lubrication in os...

The key to exploring the behavior of bearings through dynamic methods lies in establishing an accurate model for calculating the contact load between the roller and the raceway. Based on the half-space theory of Boussinesq, this study developed a ful...

This paper addresses the unclear bearing force of an RV reducer shaft by establishing a transmission model and analyzing the force situation of each component. Three force models for the crank support bearing, swivel arm bearing, and main bearing are...
