This study concerns the infrared measurement of steady-state and transient temperatures of microscopic areas within the contact region formed by a magnetic tape passing over a simulated recording head. This research demonstrates that the tape surface temperature can be measured within specific limits of response time and sensitivity. Due to its high tranmissivity in the relevant infrared band, sapphire was chosen as the material to be used in the fabrication of a simulated recording head. A Barnes RM2A infrared microscope was the principle radiometer used, while a best effort was made in scanning with an AGA Thermovision 750. The friction force versus load characteristics of the head-magnetic tape interface were also observed. The high speed measurements were divided into two regimes; non-contact hydrodynamic film region, and tape-head contact regime. The temperature measurements displayed a strong correlation with the measured friction force versus load curve. Almost no temperature rise was found in the noncontact hydrodynamic film region while a temperature rise of a few degrees Celsius was found when there was tape-head contact. The results with the AGA Thermovision 750 were consistent with the measurements obtained with the Barnes RM2A.

Background: Angular contact ball bearing is an important component of many high-speed rotating mechanical systems. Oil-air lubrication makes it possible for angular contact ball bearing to operate at high speed. So the lubrication state of angular contact ball bearing directly affects the performance of the mechanical systems. However, as bearing rotation speed increases, the temperature rise is still the dominant limiting factor for improving the performance and service life of angular contact ball bearings. Therefore, it is very necessary to predict the temperature rise of angular contact ball bearings lubricated with oil-air. Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of temperature calculation of bearing from many studies and patents, and propose a new prediction method for temperature rise of angular contact ball bearing. Methods: Based on the artificial neural network and genetic algorithm, a new prediction methodology for bearings temperature rise was proposed which capitalizes on the notion that the temperature rise of oil-air lubricated angular contact ball bearing is generally coupling. The influence factors of temperature rise in high-speed angular contact ball bearings were analyzed through grey relational analysis, and the key influence factors are determined. Combined with Genetic Algorithm (GA), the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model based on these key influence factors was built up, two groups of experimental data were used to train and validate the ANN model. Results: Compared with the ANN model, the ANN-GA model has shorter training time, higher accuracy and better stability, the output of ANN-GA model shows a good agreement with the experimental data, above 92% of bearing temperature rise under varying conditions can be predicted using the ANNGA model. Conclusion: A new method was proposed to predict the temperature rise of oil-air lubricated angular contact ball bearings based on the artificial neural network and genetic algorithm. The results show that the prediction model has good accuracy, stability and robustness.

In a special boiling cell, vapor bubbles are generated at single nucleation sites on top of a 20μm thick stainless steel heating foil. An infrared camera captures the rear side of the heating foil for analyzing the temperature distribution. The bubble shape is recorded through side windows with a high-speed camera. Global measurements were conducted, with the pure fluids FC-84 and FC-3284 and with its binary mixtures of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75mole fraction. The heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in a binary mixture is less than the HTC in either of the single component fluid alone. Applying the correlation of Schlünder showed good agreement with the measurements (1982, “Über den Wärmeübergang bei der Blasenverdampfung von Gemischen,” Verfahrenstechnik, 16(9), pp. 692–698). Furthermore, local measurements were arranged with high lateral and temporal resolution for single bubble events. The wall heat flux was computed and analyzed, especially at the three-phase-contact line between liquid, vapor, and heated wall. The bubble volume and the vapor production rate were also investigated. For pure fluids, up to 50–60% of the latent heat flows through the three-phase-contact region. For mixtures, this ratio is clearly reduced and is about 35%.

Purpose Thermal performances are key factors impacting the operation of angular contact ball bearings. Heat generation and transfer about angular contact ball bearings, however, have not been addressed thoroughly. So far, most researchers only considered the convection effect between bearing housings and air, whereas the cooling/lubrication operation parameters and configuration effect were not taken into account when analyzing the thermal behaviors of bearings. This paper aims to analyze the structural constraints of high-speed spindle, structural features of bearing, heat conduction and convection to study the heat generation and transfer of high-speed angular contact ball bearings. Design/methodology/approach Based on the generalized Ohm’s law, the thermal grid model of angular contact ball bearing of high-speed spindle was first established. Next Gauss–Seidel method was used to solve the equations group by Matlab, and the nodes temperature was calculated. Finally, the bearing temperature rise was tested, and the comparative analysis was made with the simulation results. Findings The results indicate that the simulation results of bearing temperature rise for the proposed model are in better agreement with the test values. So, the thermal grid model established is verified. Originality/value This paper shows an improved model on forecasting temperature rise of high-speed angular contact ball bearings. In modeling, the cooling/lubrication operation parameters and structural constraints are integrated. As a result, the bearing temperature variation can be forecasted more accurately, which may be beneficial to improve bearing operating accuracy and bearing service life.

Super-high speed polishing of diamond film is a newly proposed method due to its outstanding features such as low cost and simple apparatus. The interface temperature rise is due to the friction force and the relative sliding velocity between the CVD diamond film and the polishing metal plate surface. In this paper, the interface temperature rise in super-high speed polishing of CVD diamond film was investigated by using the single-point temperature measurement method. Additionally, the influence of polishing plate material on the characteristics of super-high speed polishing has been studied. The results showed that cast iron is not suitable for super-high polishing, while both 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel and pure titanium can be used for the super-high polishing of CVD diamond film. The quality and efficiency of polishing with 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel plate is much higher than those of pure titanium, and the material removal rate could reach to 36-51 m/h when the polishing speed and pressure are 100 m/s and 0.17-0.31 MPa, respectively.

Abstract A variable pressure damper (VPD) is used here to adjusted the friction force on the valve spring to investigate the relation between the friction force and the valve bouncing phenomenon. The friction force on the valve spring is found experimentally, and the corresponding friction coefficient is also determined. Dynamic valve displacements at different speeds with different friction forces are calibrated. Bouncing and floating of the valve are observed when the camshaft reaches high speed. From the measured valve displacement, the VPD is shown to have significant improvement in reducing valve bouncing distance and eliminating floating. However, experimental results indicate that the valve bouncing can not be eliminated completely when the camshaft speed is at 2985 rpm.

The piezoelectrically-actuated stick-slip nanopositioning stage (PASSNS) has been applied extensively, and many designs of PASSNSs have been developed. The friction force between the stick-slip surfaces plays a critical role in successful movement of the stage, which influences the load capacity, dynamic performance, and positioning accuracy of the PASSNS. Toward solving the influence problems of friction force, this paper presents a novel stick-slip nanopositioning stage where the flexure hinge-based friction force adjusting unit was employed. Numerical analysis was conducted to estimate the static performance of the stage, a dynamic model was established, and simulation analysis was performed to study the dynamic performance of the stage. Further, a prototype was manufactured and a series of experiments were carried out to test the performance of the stage. The results show that the maximum forward and backward movement speeds of the stage are 1 and 0.7 mm/s, respectively, and the minimum forward and backward step displacements are approximately 11 and 12 nm, respectively. Compared to the step displacement under no working load, the forward and backward step displacements only increase by 6% and 8% with a working load of 20 g, respectively. And the load capacity of the PASSNS in the vertical direction is about 72 g. The experimental results confirm the feasibility of the proposed stage, and high accuracy, high speed, and good robustness to varying loads were achieved. These results demonstrate the great potential of the developed stage in many nanopositioning applications.

Investigation into behaviors of aluminum alloy to be metal formed at the room temperature is conducted in this study. An index is used to evaluate the sensitivity of temperature, that is, index of relative normalized temperature rise to steel called normalized temperature rise index per steel which helps researchers to obtain some insight on new materials based on experiences of steel forging. An investigation to an aluminum alloy shows that the index is quite high, implying that temperature effect as well as rate-dependence effect on the forming processes of aluminum alloy at the room temperature cannot be neglected. Some details of thermomechanical predictions of a relatively high-speed automatic multi-stage forging process of a yoke with highly deformed region are given to reveal the importance of temperature and/or strain rate even in cold forging of aluminum alloy parts with high speed and high strain.

For a give air flux, the higher speed the fanner is running, the smaller the fanner’s size is. It is also well known that for a given power, the higher the machine’s running speed, the smaller the machine’s size has. If the fanner is geared to a high speed machine directly, the fan set’s volume will be sharply decreased. However, the heat dissipation of the high speed machine becomes a serious problem also due to the small size and high power loss density. Therefore, how to estimate accurately the power losses and temperature rise is a key issue for the high speed machine design. In this paper, the power losses and temperature of high speed PM machine for a fanner application are thoroughly investigated. And the test results of a prototype fan set partly shown the validity of the calculation method.
