Widely used in turbomachinery, the fluid film journal bearing is critical to a machine’s overall reliability level. Their design complexity and application severity continue to increase making it challenging for the plant machinery engineer to evaluate their reliability. This tutorial provides practical knowledge on their basic operation and what physical effects should be included in modeling ...

For over 15 years now, the efficiency and reliability of centrifugal compressors have been enhanced by the application of thermoplastic materials to the eye, shaft, and balance piston labyrinth seals. Traditionally these seals have been manufactured from metallic materials and have required relatively large clearances for reliability reasons. By upgrading to carefully selected engineered thermo...

Antifriction materials, such as silver, copper, Babbitt B83, and graphene oxide (GO), were used to prepare running-in coatings on the surface of bronze QSn10-1 by electro-spark deposition (ESD). The analyses mass transfer, roughness, thickness, morphology, composition, nanoindentation, tribological properties investigated. results showed that dense with refined grains uniformly distributed in a...

Titanium alloy and stainless steel (SS) had been widely used as dental implant materials because of their affinity with epithelial tissue and connective tissue, and good physical, chemical, biological, mechanical properties and processability. We compared the effects of titanium alloy and SS on macrophage cytokine expression as well as their biocompatibility. Mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells wer...

Ultrathin 2D metal alloy nanomaterials have great potential applications but their controlled syntheses are limited to few noble metal based systems. Herein Ni x Co1-x alloy nanosheets with ultrathin (sub-3 nm) single-crystalline 2D structure are synthesized through a topochemical reduction method. Moreover, the optimized composition Ni0.6Co0.4 alloy nanosheets array exhibits excellent performa...

the microleakage of cinaally amalgam, manufactured by dr faghihi co. which is a high copper alloy and fine-cut amalgam was evaluated by radioisotope agents. the microleakage of cinaally amalgam was compared with sybraloy amalgam, manufactured by sybron/kerr co. which is a high copper alloy and spherical shape amalgam and is known as a standard amalgam alloy. the results showed that there is no ...

An example of an object model is given in full in three languages: Alloy, a new notation; Z, a formal specification language; and UML, a modelling notation popular in industry. Basic features of Alloy are explained informally, and briefly justified by comparison of the Alloy version to the UML and Z versions.

This paper presents a compiler from expressive, relational specifications to logic programs. Specifically, the compiler translates the Imperative Alloy specification language to Prolog. Imperative Alloy is a declarative, relational specification language based on first-order logic and extended with imperative constructs; Alloy specifications are traditionally not executable. In spite of this th...
