Interference fit joints have been widely used in many engineering constructions, in particular in electric motors. It is of particular importance to calculate the load capacity of press-fit joints, especially in the overload ranges of construction to estimate the safety factor. The article presents a FEM numerical simulation of pressing the shaft into the hub, taking into account various types of fits. The results of numerical simulations presented in the article were positively verified with the MTS measuring device, which confirmed the correctness of the numerical model. So far, the load-bearing capacity of press-fit joints has been calculated from Lame’s formulas. The results of the load capacity of the joints obtained by the FEM simulation were compared with the results obtained from Lame’s formula. The comparison shows that when designing interference fit joints, attention should be paid to the fact that the press-in process, depending on the type of fit, may be elastic-plastic. Plastic deformations in the contact zone of the joint affect its load-bearing capacity. Therefore, the design of press-fit joints should not be based on Lame’s formulas, which do not take into account the range of plastic work of the material.

Load-bearing capacity and characteristic forms of destruction of furniture joints made with rastex 15 and P-10 clamex fasteners. The study tested the relationship between the load and angular deflection in furniture joints. The tests were carried out for two types of fasteners and five types of materials: chipboard, MDF, hardwood plywood, glued pine boards and glued oak boards. The furniture joint samples contained two fasteners preloaded only with a bending moment (without application of shear forces). The results were converted per single fastener specifying: its maximal load capacity, 50 mrad (2.9°) limit deflection and rigidity coefficient. It was found that rigidity is a better structural property of the tested joint types than their load capacity. As far as rigidity is concerned, the most durable is the combination of oak glued board – rastex 15 fastener (13.2 Nm bending moment per fastener), while the least durable combination is chipboard – clamex P-10 fastener (4.8 Nm bending moment per fastener). Photographic documentation of damaged furniture joint samples was prepared and analysed. In case of chipboard and MDF combinations (where the load is determined by the combined material), the combined boards suffer a disastrous damage, while in combinations of plywood boards and pine or oak glued boards, (where the capacity is determined by the fastener), both clamex P10 and rastex 15 fasteners are damaged.

A preliminary examination of the bearing indicates that it is not capable of hydrodynamic action as the fluid film is parallel in the direction of motion. However, in practice it has been found that the bearing can support considerable loads. Earlier papers by the authors have examined the proposal of Shaw and Strang that the inertia of the lubricant could account for the load capacity of the bearing. This contention was rejected by the authors, and after other possible explanations had been investigated it was concluded that thermal distortion was the most likely cause of the load-bearing capacity. In this paper recent work will be reported which supports this proposal. The analysis of fluid inertia effects is summarized for a continuous hemispherical seat whose surface is disturbed only by the central lubricant supply hole (the grooveless case). The paper also presents experimental results and an approximate analysis of the thermal distortion for a hydrosphere seat with four lubricant grooves running from the supply hole to the equator along longitudinal lines.

The oil film have many excellences such as bigger load bearing capacity, longer life, wider velocity range, lower friction etc. The traditional design method is experience test. Even the design parameters could meet the application requirements, but they can not exert the best performance of the oil film bearing. The relationship between load bearing capacity and materials, lubricants, design parameters and structural characteristics of oil film bearing was analysed. To improve the load capacity and run at the optimal state, the objective function was built to optimize the main parameters. Optimization results showed that the load bearing capacity has been greatly improved.

Priority directions and measures among the main branches of urban electric transport are resource saving in the subway transportation system during its operation. First of all, this problem must be solved by scientific support, that is, at the stage of designing parts and components of vehicles. One of the main tasks that are solved at the design stage is to increase the load-bearing capacity of the parts by analyzing their stress-strain state. The article is devoted to the calculation of the load capacity reserve of the longitudinal beam of the front subway trolley under the action of evenly distributed over the entire length of the load without taking into account the transverse forces. The priority of the research topic is substantiated, the purpose and tasks are formulated. Two approaches to the power calculation of the bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam are introduced: the calculation of the permissible stresses and the limit state. In both cases elastic models of beams are considered. In the case of calculation on the limit state, the mechanics of the occurrence of plastic hinges at the places of rigid fixing of the ends of the beam are first substantiated. The beam still retains its load capacity. With the further growth of the external load, the emergence of a plastic hinge is justified even in the middle of the beam with the simultaneous loss of the beam of the bearing capacity. To simulate the behavior of the beam according to its characteristics, including the stress and the degradation condition of its load capacity, the mathematical formulation of the problem of calculating the load capacity of the longitudinal beam when calculating the permissible stresses and the limit state without taking into account the transverse force. The load-bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam in the calculation of permissible stresses and the limit state is analyzed. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to judge the effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model as a whole. The obtained equations for the maximum allowable load when calculating the limit state and the allowable stresses allow us to reliably estimate the bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam in both cases. The increase in the bearing capacity of the beam in the case of calculation on the limit is three times. The conclusions about the adequacy of the analysis of the bearing capacity of the longitudinal beam bearing capacity were made. Keywords: resource saving, beam, bearing capacity, allowable stresses, limit state.

This study intents to scrutinize the impact of ferrofluid in the presence of couple stress for longitudinally rough porous circular stepped plates. The influence of longitudinal surface roughness is developed using the stochastic model of Christensen and Tonder for nonzero mean, variance and skewness. Neuringer-Roseinweig model is adopted for the influence of ferrofluid. The couple stress effect is characterized by Stoke’s micro continuum theory. The modified Reynolds’ type equation is stochastically averaged and solved by no-slip boundary conditions. The closed form solutions for load bearing capacity and film pressure are obtained as a function of different parameters and plotted graphically. It is perceived that the load capacity gets elevated owing to the combined influence of magnetization and couple stress when the proper choice of roughness parameters (negatively skewed, standard deviation) is in place. Porosity and roughness (positively skewed) adversely affect bearing’s performance. The graphical and tabular analysis shows that there is a significant growth in load bearing capacity compared to the conventional lubricant case.

In the article, the compressive strength of steel-concrete structures defined as CFST (Concrete Filled Steel Tubular) has been checked. The steel elements used in CFST columns have high tensile strength and ductility while the concrete elements have high compressive strength and stiffness. Therefore, CFST elements have a large range of applications in construction. The analysis included 8 examples of elements consisting of a steel tube filled with a concrete core. The examples differed in the thickness of the steel coating and the compressive strength of the concrete core. Analytical calculations and experimental studies for them were carried out. The analytical calculations were based on the author’s method of assessing the load-bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubes. In experimental verification, CFST samples were subjected to a static compression test. The calculation method was also used to calculate the load capacity when composites reinforcement is the outer coating for the concrete core. Three types of composites were analysed. The obtained results show a large influence of the steel coating thickness on the compressive strength for the CFST elements. The load-bearing capacity of the elements depends on the appropriate ratio of the surface of the steel coating to the concrete coating.

This paper deals with experimental investigations and numerical simulations of HELICOIL® inserts in ABS-M30 plastic. The aim is to explore the possibilities of modelling HELICOIL® inserts using Finite Element Method (FEM) and thus predict the load-bearing capacity of these inserts. The motivation was based on a previously published article that dealt with the topological design of the robot manipulator arm shape. During the mechanical tests, the structure of the arm did not collapse, but the HELICOIL® inserts were torn out. To determine the load-bearing capacity of HELICOIL® inserts, the necessary experimental tests were designed and carried out. FEM calculations of the inserts were adjusted to the obtained data. The results from the FEM were verified in an experimental validation test.

<p>Virtually all structural piles are installed on the top of groundwater level, and these piles are located on unsaturated soils. In this case, the negative orifice water pressure caused by capillarity significantly influences the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. Consequently, structural suction is highly important to load-bearing capacity of loads. In this paper, an evaluation was drawn between the Mohr-Coulomb, modified Cam-Clay, and Barcelona behavioral models using the finite-difference method, and results of studies conducted to estimate load-bearing capacity in the static state were provided. The behavioral model guidelines matched the laboratory models. To estimate soil vividness on the suction level of concern, the water-soil curve (showing suction patterns in relation to moisture) utilized. The general tendencies of settlement gotten by the numerical examination are reliable with pile insert test results. Results suggest that the Barcelona personality model (BBM) yields more realistic estimates of load capacity as it looks at the effect of unsaturated soil suction.</p>

Thin-walled cold-rolled sections are used in the construction industry, especially in the roofing of large-span halls. The load-bearing capacity of a thin-walled structure depends to a large extent on the load-bearing capacity of the details at the point of attachment to the structure and the interconnection of the individual thin-walled elements. Therefore, in the case of thin-walled structures, it is necessary to use additional structural elements such as local reinforcement, stabilising elements, supports, and other structural measures such as the doubling of profiles. This paper focused on the behaviour of tall Z300 and Z350 mm thin-walled trusses at the connection to the superstructure regarding upward loading (e.g., wind suction and so on). Two section thicknesses, 1.89 mm and 2.85 mm, were experimentally analysed. Furthermore, two types of connections were prepared, more precisely without and with a reinforced buckle. The experiments aimed to investigate the behaviour and load-carrying capacity of the detail of the roof truss connections to the supporting structure. The resulting load capacity values were compared with normative approaches. Analyses of the details of the bolt in the connection are also presented. The paper presents a practical evaluation of the physical test on real structural members.
