Air bubbles in working oil affect the stiffness and efficiency of hydraulic systems; thus it is important for technical issues that air bubbles be actively eliminated from the hydraulic oil. A bubble eliminator is a device that uses a swirl flow to remove air bubbles. The shape of the device affects bubble elimination performance, so the selection of shape is the most important parameter in increasing the performance of the device. The purpose of this study is to design a bubble eliminator with an optimal shape. This paper discusses the validity of numerical simulation by comparing, using various diameters of the vent port, the numerical results with the results of the experimental flow visualization. Moreover, we focus on the length of the inlet tube and tapered tube of the bubble eliminator and establish a method of selecting them.

With a view to environmental compatibility, energy saving, cost reduction, and high performance and efficiency, one trend in hydraulic systems, particularly in mobile markets, is to design them to be more compact, require less hydraulic fluid in the reservoir, and use their working hydraulic fluid longer. Air bubbles entrained in working hydraulic fluids have greatly detrimental effects on the function and lifetime of hydraulic fluids, components, and systems. A bubble eliminator using a swirl flow that can eliminate air bubbles from working hydraulic fluid has been proposed and developed by our smart and clean hydraulic project. This paper focuses on technical issues related to air bubbles, the aging process of hydraulic oil, and a field test of the performance of the bubble eliminator.

The selection of a rubber compound has a determining influence on the final characteristics of rubber-metal springs. Therefore, the correct selection of a rubber compound is a key factor for development of rubber-metal vibration isolation springs with required characteristics. The procedure for the selection of the rubber compound for vibration isolation of rubber-metal springs has been proposed, so that the rubber-metal elements have the necessary characteristics, especially in terms of deflection. The procedure is based on numerical simulation of spring deflection with Bergström-Boyce constitutive model in virtual experiment, with a goal to determine which parameters of the constitutive model will lead to spring required deflection. The procedure was verified by case study defined to select rubber compound for a rubber–metal spring used in railway engineering.

AbstractIn this paper,a numerical simulation of thermal process in the SMT laser microsoldering joint has been developed, in which, the influence on thermal process of the factors such as the thermal conductivity variation of solder with temperature, light reflection coefficient of the lead wire surface, and heat exchange on the surface of SMT materials all have been considered. In order to carry this numerical calculation practice and prove it's results,the reflexive characteristic of light wave to the SMT materials has been gauged,and the dynamic temperature process of laser microjoint has been measured by a new experimental method which was invented by the authors.The results of numerical simulation have been borne out by the tests, and the influences of heating parameters on thermal process has been analysed in this paper.The conclusions will be advantageous to the further study of the microjoint quality control in the SMT laser microsoldering.
