Carrying capacity is the most important performance index for slewing bearings. Maximizing the carrying capacity of slewing bearing is one pursuing goal for the bearing designer; this is usually realized by optimizing the design parameters. A method of analyzing the carrying capacity of double-row four-point contact ball slewing bearing by using dynamic carrying capacity surfaces was proposed in this paper. Based on the dynamic load carrying capacity surface of the slewing bearing, the effect of changes of the bearing design parameters, such as axial clearance, raceway groove radius coefficient, and contact angle, on the dynamic carrying capacity of the slewing bearing was researched; the trend and the degree of the effect of the micro changes of the bearing design parameters on the dynamic load carrying capacity of the bearing were discussed, and the results provide the basis for optimizing the design parameter of this type of slewing bearing.

A theoretical investigation is made to predict the performance of an externally pressurized air journal bearing having several pressure sources. The pressure distribution, which leads to the determination of load-carrying capacity and flow requirement, is obtained by solving Reynolds equation numerically. The load and flow, expressed in non-dimensional parameters, are presented for different bearing design parameters (dimensionless). The results predicted by this method are compared with others' experimental data.

Load Carrying

A new methodology using a direct method for obtaining the best found trajectory planning and maximum dynamic load-carrying capacity (DLCC) is presented for a 5-degree of freedom (DOF) hybrid robot manipulator. A nonlinear constrained multiobjective optimization problem is formulated with four objective functions, namely, travel time, total energy involved in the motion, joint jerks, and joint acceleration. The vector of decision variables is defined by the sequence of the time-interval lengths associated with each two consecutive via-points on the desired trajectory of the 5-DOF robot generalized coordinates. Then this vector of decision variables is computed in order to minimize the cost function (which is the weighted sum of these four objective functions) subject to constraints on joint positions, velocities, acceleration, jerks, forces/torques, and payload mass. Two separate approaches are proposed to deal with the trajectory planning problem and the maximum DLCC calculation for the 5-DOF robot manipulator using an evolutionary optimization technique. The adopted evolutionary algorithm is the elitist nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). A numerical application is performed for obtaining best found solutions of trajectory planning and maximum DLCC calculation for the 5-DOF hybrid robot manipulator.

The paper presents an analysis of the micromechanical properties of selected thin, hard anti-wear coatings of the type nc-TiN/a-C and nc-TiC/a-C, which were deposited by magnetron sputtering on a steel substrate. The load carrying capacity of the nanocomposite coatings was analysed in point contact with the use of indentation method, a scratch test, and friction test in contact with a ceramic ball. The hardness and modulus of elasticity of the coatings were determined by an instrumented indentation method using a Vickers indenter. The coating adhesion to the substrate was examined in a scratch test. Tribological tests in sliding contact with an Al2O3 ball were made at various loads to determine the limit load in which normal friction occurs. The results of tribological tests were compared with the resistance to plastic deformation index (H3/E2). It was found that the basic micromechanical parameters of coatings provide important information concerning durability and load carrying capacity. However, while predicting wear, it is also important to investigate the nature of the wear process during friction. The wear nature of the nc-TiN/a-C and nc-TiC/a-C coatings depends on the load value and the number of forced loads.

Two kinds of dynamic load-carrying capacity (DLCC) evaluation methods for free-floating space manipulators (FFSM) in two typical on-orbit operating missions are proposed in this paper. DLCC evaluation is transformed into nonlinear programming problem (NPP) by introducing load-carrying coefficient to measure DLCC: in point-to-point task, penalty function method is adopted to approach the boundary of feasible region rapidly, then DLCC can be obtained through following iterations; in trajectory tracking task, NPP is solved by using multiple one-dimensional search, the dynamic load-carrying coefficient in discontinuous feasible region can be quickly solved through adjusting the searching boundary constantly. The effectiveness of the mentioned methods is verified by simulations.
