The time-correlated leakage characteristic of nonmetallic gaskets was analyzed. Considering the effect of the gasket material deterioration on the sealing performance, a time-correlated leakage predication model of nonmetallic gasket sealing connections based on the porous medium theory was proposed. Some tests were performed on compressed non-asbestos fiber gaskets, the leakage behavior was investigated and the coefficients in the leakage model were obtained by regression analysis of experimental data. The predicted leakage rates according to the model were compared with the data reported in some literatures, and the prediction accuracy was also validated. The presented time-correlated leakage model provides an effective way to predict the leakage rate and evaluating the life of gasket sealing connections.

The leakage rates of bolted flanged connections change with service time due to the gasket contact stress relaxation and degradation of gasket material. The nonuniform distribution of gasket contact stress has significant influence on the leakage behavior of the connections. In order to predict the time-correlated leakage rates accurately, both appropriate approaches to dealing with the gasket residual contact stress and a corresponding time-correlated leakage model of sealing elements are needed. In this paper, an analytical model has been developed to determine the maximum contact stress at gasket outer diameter in consideration of creeps of flanges, bolts and gasket coupled to the axial deformation compatibility equation. The analysis was verified against the finite element numerical simulation considering the nonlinear behavior of gasket and material creep. The analytical results of the maximum contact stress of gasket and its change over time compared well with those obtained by finite element method. A time-correlated leakage model of nonmetallic gasket sealing connections based on the porous medium theory was established, in which the effects of the gasket material degradation and contact stress relaxation on the sealing performance were taken into consideration. Furthermore, a leakage rate prediction method was proposed. Some long-term sealing performance tests were performed on two types of gaskets to obtain the coefficients in the leakage model. The leakage rate prediction method proposed in this paper was also validated against the experimental data presented by other researchers, and the errors between the predicted values and the experimental results were within 18%.

The sealing characteristics of an annular power cylinder based on the Twin-rotor piston engine are studied, which provides a theoretical foundation for the sealing design of a new high-power density piston engine. In this paper, the basis thermodynamic realization process of an annular power cylinder is presented. The Runge Kutta equation is used to establish the coupled leakage model of adjacent working chambers under annular piston seal. And the sealing performance of the annular power cylinder is analyzed in detail. Moreover, the influence of rotor speed and compression ratio on the sealing characteristics and leakage is studied. Finally, some tests are carried out to verify the sealing principle and simulation results, which verifies the theoretical basis of simulation analysis. Results show that there are double pressure peaks in the leakage chamber between two working chambers, which is beneficial to reduce the leakage rate. Besides, increasing the speed and decreasing the compression ratio can help to reduce gas leakage. Furthermore, the effects of speed variation on the leakage are only significant when rotating at low speed. Changing the compression ratio has a greater effect on the slope of the leakage curve at a low compression ratio, and the lower the compression ratio, the better the sealing effect.

Various equations are being developed and applied to predict photovoltaic (PV) module generation. Currently, quite diverse methods for predicting module generation are available, with most equations showing accuracy with ≤5% error. However, the accuracy can be determined only when the module temperature and the value of irradiation that reaches the module surface are precisely known. The prediction accuracy of outdoor generation is actually extremely low, as the method for predicting outdoor module temperature has extremely low accuracy. The change in module temperature cannot be predicted accurately because of the real-time change of irradiation and air temperature outdoors. Calculations using conventional equations from other studies show a mean error of temperature difference of 4.23 °C. In this study, an equation was developed and verified that can predict the precise module temperature up to 1.64 °C, based on the experimental data obtained after installing an actual outdoor module.

The most important features of the self-lubricating bearings are the antifriction properties such as friction coefficient and wear resistence and some mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength and radial crushing strength. In order to improve these properties new antifriction materials based on iron-copper powders with several additional components (tin, lead and molybdenum disulphide) have been developed by PM techniques. To find the optimal relationship between chemical compositions, antifriction and mechanical properties, in this paper a mathematical model of the sintering process is developed, which highlighted the accordance of the model with data by regression analysis. For the statistical processing of the experimental data the VH5 hardness values of the studied materials were considered. The development of mathematical model includes the enunciation of the model, the establishment of the performance function (optimization) and the establishment of the model equations and verifying. The accordance of the model with experimental data has been highlighted by regression analysis

The elastohydrodynamic (EHD) traction coefficients of a lubricating grease LGLT2 were tested at various loads and rolling speeds on a self-made test rig. Traction coefficient versus slide-to-roll ratio curves were generated. Formulae which relate traction coefficient with normal load and rolling speed are put forth. The coefficients of the formulae may be computed by regression analysis of the experimental data. The results show that the calculated traction coefficients agree well with the experimental observation. The critical normal load exists when the traction coefficients change with the normal loads.

In response to concerns that some of the most methodologically rigorous predictive studies of criminal offender characteristics may yet be less generalizable and applicable than advertised or assumed, this research first tests how well seven regression analysis models (represented by 28 equations) predict characteristics across three conditions: familiar cases (used to create the regressions), less familiar cases (native to the sample used to create the regressions) and foreign cases (from a similar but novel sample). Here a linear trend shows overfitting of the models to their own sample: a drop-off in prediction accuracy relative to simple mean-based prediction as cases become more foreign (ηp 2 = .646). In response to hopes that subjective input from expert police investigators could be integrated into the models to correct for this overfitting bias, this research also tests an algorithm combining expert ratings with the regression equations. Here moderate and significant improvement in novel-case prediction is observed overall (p = .036, r = .44) and equations for all twelve expert participants are shown to improve prediction to varying degrees. These results suggest that current best methods would perform poorly in the field, but can be improved by expert insight.

Abstract The utilization of additively manufactured parts is gaining popularity in functional applications. Polymer-based additive manufacturing (AM) parts are utilized in a variety of engineering applications for automotive, aerospace, and energy. AM printed parts are however newer class of materials, and structural performance of these materials is not fully understood completely, and very limited exists currently on precisely performance of Polyjet printed parts and associated digital materials under fatigue loading. This paper investigates the stiffness degradation under tension-tension fatigue loading of digital polypropylene using homogenous 3-Dimensional test coupons formed using PolyJet printing. Homogeneous 3-Dimensional test configuration employed in the present study eliminates the process-induced limitations of traditional ASTM D638 2D fatigue test coupons for AM processed materials. Fatigue data is analyzed to present an empirical model of effective elastic modulus and an analytical model of the accumulated damage state, as defined on the basis of stiffness degradation during cyclic loading. Further, the actual damage accumulation due to cyclic loading with the predicted model is compared. Modeling of the S-N diagram provides a better estimation of fatigue life and fatigue life modeling of AM printed test coupons and is obtained via linear regression analysis of experimental data with high correlation coefficient R2 (0.9971). The analytical model of the accumulated damage state is based on the stiffness degradation and is derived from the regression analysis of experimental data of stiffness degradation at different loading percentages assuming a polynomial of degree 4. Present study provides insight into the fatigue damage state and cyclic performance of digital polypropylene from Polyjet printing.
