Cavitation has a potential effect on the performance of full circle journal bearings. This paper studied the effects of cavitation on steadily loaded journal bearings, with the purpose of analyzing the necessity of adopting a mass-conserving model for ordinary journal bearings. The Christopherson’s method and Elrod cavitation algorithm were implemented to represent the non-mass-conserving Reynolds model and the mass-conserving Jakobsson-Floberg-Olsson (JFO) theory, respectively. The difference in the oil film reformation boundaries predicted by the two methods was focused on. The typical performance parameters including oil film pressure, load-carrying capacity, attitude angle, friction force, and leakage were comprehensively compared. The results show that the load-carrying capacity is improved by the decrease in cavitation pressure, and the effect is significant in lightly loaded cavitated bearings. In non-cavitated cases and the cavitated cases with intermediate and heavy loads, the difference between the Reynolds model and the JFO theory can be effectively ignored, but the accuracy of the leakage predicted using the Reynolds model should be carefully evaluated.

The influence of dimples on the inner surface of big end bearing in internal combustion engine (ICE) on tribological performances of the bearing was investigated based on Navier-Strokes equation and other associated equations. In doing so, the CFD modulus in the software ANSYS12 version is used to analyze the dimple effect on the tribological performances of the bearing using two-way fluid-solid coupling algorithm. Some mechanisms are revealed about the dimple effect on the load-carrying capacity and friction coefficient of oil film, and the deformation and stress for the textured big end bearing.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the behavior of normal strength reinforce concret (RC) circular short column strengthned with “carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets”. Three series comprising totally of (15) specimens loaded until failure under concentric compresion load. Strengthening was varied by changing the number of CFRP strips, spacing and wrapping methods. The findings of this research can be summarized as follows: for the columns without CFRP, the influence of the tie spacing was significant: compared with 130 mm tie spacing, dropping the spacing to 100 mm and 70 mm increased the load carrying capacity by 18% and 26%, respectively. The columns with less internal confinement (lesser amount of ties) were strengthened more significantly by the CFRP than the ones with greater amount of internal ties. As an example of the varying effectiveness of the fully wrapped CFRP, the column with ties at 130 mm was strengthened by 90% with the CFRP. In contrast, the ones with 70 mm spaced ties only increased in strength with CFRP by 66%. Compared with the control specimen (no CFRP), the same amount of CFRP when used as hoop strips led to more strengthening than using CFRP as a spiral strip- the former led to nearly 9% more strengthening than the latter in the case of 130 mm spaced internal steel ties. In the case of 100 mm internal steel ties, the difference (between the hoops & spiral CFRP strengthening) is close to 4%. In contrast, there is no difference between the two methods of strengthening in the heavily tied columns (70 mm tied spacing).

In this study, an optimization methodology is proposed to systematically define the optimal tooth modifications introduced by head-cutter geometry and machine-tool settings to minimize the influence of misalignments on the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication characteristics in face-hobbed spiral bevel gears. The goal is to simultaneously maximize the EHD load-carrying capacity of the oil film and to minimize power losses in the oil film when different misalignments are inherent in the gear pair. The proposed optimization procedure relies heavily on the EHD lubrication analysis developed in this paper. The core algorithm of the proposed nonlinear programming procedure is based on a direct search method. Effectiveness of this optimization was demonstrated on a face-hobbed spiral bevel gear example. A drastic increase in the EHD load-carrying capacity of the oil film and a reduction in the power losses in the oil film were obtained.

Using the results shown in some previous papers, the overall characteristics of bearings lubricated with ferrofluids are calculated. First, the load carrying capacity of infinitely long sliding and journal bearings is considered. The pressure center and the attitude angle are also determined. Then, similar characteristics of finite bearings are obtained. In both cases, the new boundary conditions and the actual film extent under magnetic stresses are taken into account. It is shown that friction forces are mainly affected by the change in viscosity due to magnetic particle suspensions, while magnetic stresses modify friction only under special conditions which usually are not met in lubrication. In addition, the flow rates and the side flow coefficients are calculated. It is shown that the lubricant leakage can be reduced and even avoided when proper measures are taken. For short bearings, diagrams are given for the film extent, the film boundaries, the load carrying capacity, and the attitude of the journal center.

The failure modes and load-carrying capacity of timber connection can be predicted using European Yield Model (EYM). In the load-carrying capacity formula, an unknown parameter for Mengkulang Glulam with the bolt as a fastener, is the withdrawal capacity, Fax,Rk (kN). In this research, the withdrawal capacity tests were conducted with respect to the difference in bolt diameter and glue line existences. The results showed the larger diameter 18 mm parallel with the glue line giving the highest withdrawal capacity and resistance when compared to the same diameter without glue line and 14 mm diameter with and without the glue line.
