Test rolling is a quality assessment technique performed on road construction materials to verify consistency prior to paving. In this test, the depth to which the wheels of a heavy vehicle penetrate the material is used as a measure of quality. Current test rolling specifications are based largely on empirical data. In this paper, theoretical models are presented for the case of a test roller ...

The fault diagnosis precision for rolling bearings under variable conditions has always been unsatisfactory. For solving this problem, a feature extraction method combing the Hilbert-Huang transform with singular value decomposition was proposed in this paper. The method includes three steps. Firstly, instantaneous amplitude matrices were obtained by Hilbert-Huang transform from rolling bearing...

In practical engineering, quality control of mechanical components or parts of rotational machinery is quite important. As for rolling bearings, the defects from rolling bodies, internal ring, external ring, and retainer are more focused on. Therefore, in this work, a vibration and noise test system is developed for the defect diagnosis of mechanical components above-mentioned. The key point of...

Abstract: Thin-walled integrated flexible support structures are the major trend in the development of current rolling bearing technology. A thin-walled, integrated, squirrel-cage flexible support roller bearing, quasi-dynamic iterative finite element analysis (FEA) model is established in this paper. The FEA model is used to calculate the structural deformation of the thin-wall rings and suppo...

Magnetic bearings use magnetic forces to support various machine components. Because of the non-contact nature of this type of suspension, magnetic bearing technology offers a number of significant advantages over conventional bearings such as rolling element and fluid film bearings. An active magnetic bearing basically consists of an electromagnetic actuator, position sensors, power amplifiers...

OBJECTIVES P-selectin binding to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL)-1 mediates leukocyte rolling under conditions of inflammation and injury. The aims of this study were to develop an efficient, high temporal resolution model for direct simulation of leukocyte rolling and conduct a study of load-bearing bonds using the model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A stochastic pi-calculus-driven event-tr...

A K-means clustering approach is proposed for the automated diagnosis of defective rolling element bearings. Since K-means clustering is an unsupervised learning procedure, the method can be directly implemented to measured vibration data. Thus, the need for training the method with data measured on the specific machine under defective bearing conditions is eliminated. This fact consists the ma...

surface stresses, is not the limiting factor and probably accounts for less than 3% of failures in service. Unfortunately though, many bearings fail prematurely in service because of contamination, poor lubrication, temperature extremes, poor fitting/fits, unbalance and misalignment. All these factors lead to an increase in bearing vibration and condition monitoring has been used for many years...
