The authors have experience with the gravitational wave detector SCHENBERG, which is a resonant mass developed by the Brazilian GRAVITON. Its spherical antenna weighs 1150 kg and is monitored by six parametric ultralow noise transducers and is connected to the external environment by a suspension system designed to attenuate local, seismic and non-seismic noise, operating at a temperature of 4 K. the recognition has acquired the idea of ​​doing an experiment to measure the speed of gravity. Using monocrystalline sapphire with very high mechanical and electrical Qs, microwave sources with ultra-low phase noise, suspensions designed by Finite Element Modeling, parametric microwave transducers, excellent noise filtering properties of resonant mass and the development of high-speed rotation machines guided the authors to design the experiment. The experiment will measure the oscillations caused by the gravitational interaction with an amplitude of the order of 0.1 am 10^-19m).

In the present paper, the algorithm proposed by Giacopini et. al. [1], based on a mass-conserving formulation of the Reynolds equation using the concept of complementarity is suitably extended to include the effects of compressibility, piezoviscosity and shear-thinning on the lubricant properties. This improved algorithm is employed to analyse the performance of the lubricated small end and big end bearings of a connecting rod of a high performance motorbike engine. The application of the algorithm proposed to both the small end and the big end of a con-rod is challenging because of the different causes that sustain the hydrodynamic lubrication in the two cases. In the con-rod big end, the fluid film is mainly generated by the relative high speed rotation between the rod and the crankshaft. The relative speed between the two races forms a wedge of fluid that assures appropriate lubrication and avoids undesired direct contacts. On the contrary, at the con-rod small end the relative rotational speed is low and a complete rotation between the mating surfaces does not occurs since the con-rod only oscillates around its vertical axis. Thus, at every revolution of the crankshaft, there are two different moments in which the relative rotational speed between the con-rod and the piston pin is null. Therefore, the dominant effect in the lubrication is the squeeze caused by the high loads transmitted through the piston pin. In particular both combustion forces and inertial forces contribute to the squeeze effect. This work shows how the formulation developed by the authors is capable of predicting the performance of journal bearings in the unsteady regime, where cavitation and reformation occur several times. Moreover, the effects of the pressure and the shear rate on the density and on the viscosity of the lubricant are taken into account.

Tire dynamic balance detection plays an important part in tire quality detection area. This paper uses the two-sided balance method to obtain the unbalance of the tire. According to the engineering practice, builds kinetic model and then introduces the calculating principle and operating procedures. In order to accurately determine the influence coefficient, a calibration method without tire is put forward. Further more, this new method is able to eliminate the unbalance caused by non-quality factors to some extent. But this method is presented based on the relative position invariance of the upper rim and lower rim, even both of them are under high-speed rotation situation. Finally, the experimental data acquired from both of the two methods are compared. The calibration method without tire is proved to be more feasible, efficient and accurate.
