context functional humeral bracing remains the gold standard for treatment of humeral shaft fractures. there is an increasing trend in the literature to perform operative fixation of these fractures. evidence acquisition the aim of this systematic review was to compare the level one evidence for the outcome of non-operative with operative management of humeral shaft fractures in adults. a compr...

This paper presents a gain-scheduling wind-turbine control strategy to mitigate the effects of adverse weather conditions on degradation drive-train. By choosing suitable gain according wind class, it is possible establish trade-off between generated energy and drive-train degradation. The dissipated in mechanical transmission used as an indicator modeled flexible shaft using nonlinear dynamics...

This paper inspects the misaligned of shaft by using diagnostic medium such as current and vibration. Misalignments in machines can cause decrease in efficiency and in the long-run it may cause failure because of unnecessary vibration, stress on motor, bearings and short-circuiting in stator and rotor windings. In this study, authors investigate the onset of instability on a shaft mounted on jo...

Floating hip injuries and ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare. Additionally, the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries is extremely rare, and only one case report of the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries has been published. Here, we report the case of a patient with ipsilateral acetabular and femoral neck and shaft fractures following a suicide attempt. The patient...

This paper proposes a numerical method to investigate the frictional characteristics of fluid film journal bearing considering elastohydrodynamic lubrication and asperity contact force. We solved average Reynolds equation by utilizing FEM determine hydrodynamic force developed lubricant bearing. also used modified GT model (Greenwood–Tripp model) Greenwood Tripp decompose into normal tangential...

This paper presents a failure analysis on a failed intake valve in a gasoline engine. During an endurance test, an intake valve was broken and caused some damages on the piston. Material examinations (by a light microscope and also a scanning electron microscope) were conducted on the fracture surface of the intake valve shaft. Results showed that no pores or defects could be observed and the m...

in this paper, the finite element analysis of stability problem of vehicle composite drive shafts subjected to torsional loading is studied. first, using the minimum total potential energy principle, the governing equations are derived and then they are solved by finite element method. the initial geometrical imperfection which is usually in the form of radial displacement, is taken into consid...

Details of 93 roll shaft breakages which have occurred at eight selected sugar mills in Natal since 1979 have been collated and analysed to determine the most likely causes of failure. Theoretical analyses of shaft stresses and fatigue stress concentration factors have been carried out to determine whether present shaft design, machining practices, material specifications and shell assembly tec...

The last phase of the proton transfer cycle of bacteriorhodopsin calls for a passage of a proton from D38 to D96. This reaction utilizes a narrow shaft approximately 10-A long that connects the two carboxylates that cross through a very hydrophobic domain. As the shaft is too narrow to be permanently hydrated, there are two alternatives for the proton propagation into the channel. The proton ma...
