Friction influences the nature of transfer layer formed at the interface between tool and metal during sliding. In the present investigation, basic studies were conducted using “Inclined Scratch Test” to understand the mechanism of transfer layer formation during sliding of super pure aluminium pins on EN8 steel flats of different surface roughness under both dry and lubricated conditions. The ...

Theoretical study of non-Newtonian effects of second-order fluids on the performance characteristics of inclined slider bearings is presented. An approximate method is used for the solution of the highly nonlinear momentum equations for the second-order fluids. The closed form expressions for the fluid film pressure, load carrying capacity, frictional force, coefficient of friction, and centre ...

Laboratory model tests were performed to investigate the behavior of shallow and inclined skirted foundations placed on sandy soil with R.D%=30 extent impact positive negative eccentric-inclined loading effect them. To achieve experimental tests, it was used a box (600×600) mm cross-sectional 600mm in height square footing (50*50) 10 thickness attached skirt Ds=0.5B various an angle (10°, 20°, ...

Ordinary “loop joint” applied to precast prestressed concrete (PC) deck slab tends increase its thickness. By decreas-ing this thickness, the dead load of can be reduced. Hence, we have developed an “improved (inclined) loop that reduces This study presents results static bending test specimens confirm load-carrying behavior and wheel moving examine fatigue durability PC slabs with improved joi...
