This paper studied the air film pressure field (AFPF) characteristics of aerostatic thrust bearing, in which we proposed the measurement equipment for the 2D AFPF and successfully verified the theoretical simulation results. The experimental results agreed well with the theoretical results. However, in the area between the distribution circle of orifice to the air film outlet boundary, the experimental air film pressure (AFP) was slightly higher than the theoretical one. While for the area between the distribution circle of orifice and the center of the bearing, it showed the opposite law. Besides, the increase ratio of the AFP was close to that of the external load with its increase.

Results are provided for an investigation of a compliant-surface, tilting-shoe bearing, when operating in oil. Two values of elastomer durometer were used on shoes as well as seven different pivot locations. The investigation included measurements of lubricant film pressure fields and film-thickness profiles under the shoes during operation. Friction and overall stiffness were also recorded for a typical range of speeds, loads, and pivot positions.

The Cologne-egg fastening systems applied in metro lines, which can be subjected to rail corrugation, are considered in this paper. To understand the mechanism of the formation and development of rail corrugation, dynamic models of the wheel and the track with Cologne-egg fastening system in the frequency domain are developed to analyse the wheel and track vibration behaviour. A field test is also analysed to verify the validity of the mechanism. Using these experimental and theoretical results, the vibration mode of the rail that is responsible for rail corrugation is determined. Based on the results, a novel rail damper that can suppress the track pinned-pinned resonance and smooth the track receptance is presented to minimize short-pitch rail corrugation. It is ultimately found from theoretical simulation and experimental investigation that the application of the rail damper is a long-term and effective method of controlling short-pitch rail corrugation in metro lines.

This work describes a simulation research concerning dynamic effect of multi-pad hydrostatic thrust bearing having rectangular recess, sector recess, ellipse recess and I-shaped recess in order to solve the loading capacity of the hydrostatic thrust bearing. Three-dimensional pressure field of gap fluid between the rotation worktable and the base has been computed by using the Finite Volume Method. This study theoretically analyzes the influence of recess shape on dynamic effect of the bearing according to computational fluid dynamics and lubricating theory, and the simulation results indicate that an improved characteristic will be affected by recess shape easily. Through this method, the safety of a multi-pad hydrostatic thrust bearing having different cavities can be forecasted, and the optimal loading capacity of such products can be achieved, so it can provide reasonable data for design, lubrication, experience and thermal deformation computation for hydrostatic thrust bearing.

PurposeThis paper aims to improve the bearing capacity of hydrostatic thrust bearing under working conditions of high speed and heavy load; a new wedge-shaped structure opened on an edge of oil seal is put forward, the loss and insufficiency for hydrostatic bearing capacity are made up by using dynamic pressure, and then, hydrostatic hydrodynamic lubrication is realized.Design/methodology/approachOil film three-dimensional models of unidirectional and bi-directional hydrostatic hydrodynamic oil pad are established by using UG. The oil film pressure fields of two kinds of oil pad are simulated by using ANSYS ICEM CFD and ANSYS CFX; the pressure fields distribution characteristics are obtained, and the effects of workbench rotary speed and bearing weight on pressure field are analyzed. Also, the experimental verification is made.FindingsThe results demonstrate that with an increase in workbench rotary speed, the oil film pressure of two kinds of hybrid oil pad increases gradually, and the maximum pressure of the bi-directional one accounts for 95 per cent of the unidirectional one when the load is constant. With an increase in load, the oil film pressure of two kinds of hybrid oil pad increases gradually, the difference between them is 9.4 per cent under the condition of load of 25twhen the rotary speed is constant.Originality/valueThe paper can provide theoretical basis for a structure design of hybrid thrust bearing under different rotary speed and load conditions, and compensate the shortage of static pressure-bearing capacity by using dynamic pressure, improve the stability of vertical CNC machining equipment.

AbstractIn this paper, theoretical/simulation study of specific absorption rate (SAR) and/or temperature distributions in a bi-layered bio-media (fat and muscle)/realistic tri-layered bio-media (skin, fat, and muscle layers) in direct contact with water-loaded metal diagonal horn (MDH) designed at 915 MHz are investigated. The effects of fat thickness on the input reflection coefficient, reflection coefficient at the interface between the MDH and the bi-layered bio-media, and the SAR distribution in the bi-layered bio-media are also studied through simulation and theoretically at 915 MHz. Further, the SAR parameters such as penetration depth and effective field size inside the bi-layered bio-media due to the MDH are evaluated theoretically and the theoretical results are compared with the corresponding simulation results. Finally, SAR and temperature distributions in tri-layered bio-media without and with embedded irregular/oval-shaped tumor are provided for demonstrating the hyperthermia performance of the MDH applicator.

A comparative study on pressure field of hydrostatic thrust bearing with sector recess, rectangular recess, ellipse recess and I-shaped recess is carried out in order to solve the deformation of the hydrostatic thrust bearing. The Finite Volume Method has been used to compute three-dimensional pressure field of gap oil film between the rotation worktable and the base. This study theoretically analyzes the influence of recess shape on the bearing pressure characteristic according to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and lubricating theory. It has revealed its pressure field distribution law. The simulation results indicate that an improved characteristic will be affected by recess shape easily. Through this method, the safety of a hydrostatic thrust bearing with different recesses can be forecasted, and the optimal design of such products can be achieved, so it can provide reasonable data for design, lubrication, and experiment and deformation computation for hydrostatic thrust bearing.

In this paper, we present a convergent collocation method with which to find the numerical solution of a generalized fractional integro-differential equation (GFIDE). The presented approach is based on the collocation method using Jacobi poly-fractonomials. The GFIDE is defined in terms of the B-operator introduced recently, and it reduces to Caputo fractional derivative and other fractional derivatives in special cases. The convergence and error analysis of the proposed method are also established. Linear and nonlinear cases of the considered GFIDEs are numerically solved and simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical results.

This paper presents the effects of rough surface air-soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of rollers for soft material under the effect of air molecular slip. The time independent modified Reynolds equation and elasticity equation were solved numerically using finite different method, Newton-Raphson method and multigrid multilevel methods were used to obtain the film pressure profiles and film thickness in the contact region. The effects of amplitude of surface roughness, modulus of elasticity and air inlet temperature are examined. The simulation results showed surface roughness has effect on film thickness but it little effect to air film pressure. When the amplitude of surface roughness and modulus of elasticity increased, the air film thickness decreased but air film pressure increased. However, the air inlet temperature increased when the air film thickness increased.
