In this study, a segregated Finite Element Method (FEM) in the Petrov Galerkin framework with suitably defined Streamline Upwind Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) weight functions for a non-isothermal flow with temperature dependent density and viscosity in a high speed slider bearing has been proposed. The nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the mass, momentum and energy conservations in thermohydrodynamic lubrication (THDL) of a high speed slider bearing with injection effects has been numerically analyzed for temperature, velocity and pressure fields. To assess the influence of the injection boundary condition on load generation and frictional drag in a slider bearing results have been compared with those from a study devoid of injection effects. Further the influence of consideration of fore-region pressure, geometrical configuration of a slider bearing, Peclet Number and thermoviscosity co-efficient in conjunction with oil injection effect on the load carrying capacity has been investigated. Oil injection is observed to bring in not only a gain in load carrying capacity but also a reduction in frictional drag and a reduction in the temperature specially in the vicinity of pad.

Pesatnya perkembangan dalam bidang industri mempengaruhi para peneliti untuk melakukan berbagai macam inovasi. Salah satu penemuan yang menarik dalam bidang pelumasan hydrodynamic adalah desain tekstur pada bantalan thrust. Akan tetapi dengan adanya tekstur pada permukaan bantalan thrust terkadang justru dapat mengakibatkan efek negatif. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini membahas pengaruh inersia dan rekayasa permukaan slip dalam rangka meningatkan performa bantalan thrustt. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan computational fluid dynamic (CFD). Berdasarkan penelitian, diperoleh hasil bahwa slip dapat mengurangi efek kavitasi dengan mereduksi area kavitasi. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa slip mempunyai dampak yang positif terhadap peningkatan performa bantalan thrust salah satunya yaitu dengan meningkatkan load carrying capacity. Sedangkan inersia dikombinasikan dengan slip dapat meningkatkan load carrying capacity akan tetapi panjang daerah kavitasi juga semakin besar.

This paper presents recent progress in the knowledge concerning the stochastic theory of bio- hydrodynamic lubrication with a phospholipids bilayer. On the basis of experimental measurements and analytical solutions, the research concerns the determination of the random expectancy values of load carrying capacity, the friction coefficient, and synovial fluid dynamic variations. After numerous measurements, it directly follows that the random density function of the gap height in the human joint usually indicates a disorderly increases and decreases in the height. Such irregular gap height variations have an important influence on the random synovial bio-fluid dynamic viscosity. This finally leads to the friction coefficient and cartilage wear changes of cooperating bio- surfaces. The main topic of this paper relates to the expectancy values of the tribology parameters localized inside the variable stochastic standard deviation intervals of the human joint gap height. The results obtained finally indicate the influence of the random roughness and growth of living biological cartilage surfaces on the expectancy values of the synovial fluid dynamic viscosity, load carrying capacity and friction forces in human hip joints.

Authors of article analysed influence of variability of yield strength over cross-section of hot rolled steel member to its load-carrying capacity. In calculation models, the yield strength is usually taken as constant. But yield strength of a steel hot-rolled beam is generally a random quantity. Not only the whole beam but also its parts have slightly different material characteristics. According to the results of more accurate measurements, the statistical characteristics of the material taken from various cross-section points (e.g. from a web and a flange) are, however, more or less different. This variation is described by one dimensional random field. The load-carrying capacity of the beam IPE300 under bending moment at its ends with the lateral buckling influence included is analysed, nondimensional slenderness according to EC3 is λ¯ = 0.6. For this relatively low slender beam the influence of the yield strength on the load-carrying capacity is large. Also the influence of all the other imperfections as accurately as possible, the load-carrying capacity was determined by geometrically and materially nonlinear solution of very accurate FEM model by the ANSYS programme.

The load-carrying capacity of the member with imperfections under axial compression is analysed in the present paper. The study is divided into two parts: (i) in the first one, the input parameters are considered to be random numbers (with distribution of probability functions obtained from experimental results and/or tolerance standard), while (ii) in the other one, the input parameters are considered to be fuzzy numbers (with membership functions). The load-carrying capacity was calculated by geometrical nonlinear solution of a beam by means of the finite element method. In the case (ii), the membership function was determined by applying the fuzzy sets, whereas in the case (i), the distribution probability function of load-carrying capacity was determined. For (i) stochastic solution, the numerical simulation Monte Carlo method was applied, whereas for (ii) fuzzy solution, the method of the so-called α cuts was applied. The design load-carrying capacity was determined according to the EC3 and EN1990 standards. The results of the fuzzy, stochastic and deterministic analyses are compared in the concluding part of the paper.

Abstract The objective of this study was to quantify pavement damage due to a conventional (385/65R22.5) and a new generation of wide-base (445/50R22.5) tires using three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. The investigated new generation of wide-base tires has wider treads and greater load-carrying capacity than the conventional wide-base tire. In addition, the contact patch is less sensitive to loading and is especially designed to operate at 690kPa inflation pressure at 121km/hr speed for full load of 151kN tandem axle. The developed FE models simulated the tread sizes and applicable contact pressure for each tread and utilized laboratory-measured pavement material properties. In addition, the models were calibrated and properly validated using field-measured stresses and strains. Comparison was established between the two wide-base tire types and the dual-tire assembly. Results indicated that the 445/50R22.5 wide-base tire would cause more fatigue damage, approximately the same rutting damage and less surface-initiated top-down cracking than the conventional dual-tire assembly. On the other hand, the conventional 385/65R22.5 wide-base tire, which was introduced more than two decades ago, caused the most damage.
