Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...

Abstract The main purpose of this paper consists in improving the rigidity gear tooth by applying various root fillet forms that differ from classical 0.38m radius circle arc. During research necessity re-formulation undercut appeared. It appears much later case rounded addendum edge planing comb as using a classic generating profile tool. Therefore, limits shifting can be significantly extende...

Rotational molding constitutes a promising manufacturing technology for rotationally symmetric components made of thermoset matrix with continuous fiber reinforcement. The present study deals the numerical analysis molded composite tie rod metallic load introduction elements. For this purpose, adhesive joint between carbon reinforced plastic and element was investigated in more detail. Differen...

Meat and fish serve as important protein sources in the companion animal diet; however, limited protein digestibility data are available for assessing protein digestibility differences among good-quality protein sources. Beef loin, pork loin, chicken breast, pollock fillet, and salmon fillet were evaluated for composition, protein digestibility, and AA bioavailability using the immobilized dige...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of chilling method on broiler carcass skin color, moisture retention, breast fillet quality, and functionality. One hundred fifty eviscerated broiler carcasses were removed from a commercial processing line before chilling, transported to the laboratory, weighed, and chilled by dry air or immersion in ice water. Postchill carcasses were weighed fo...

AQUI-S is a fish anesthetic/sedative that is approved for use in a number of countries throughout the world and has the potential for use in the United States. The active ingredient in AQUI-S is isoeugenol. A method for determining isoeugenol concentrations in edible fillet tissue is needed for regulatory purposes, including surveillance and potential use in studies fulfilling human food safety...

Cracking of laser hybrid welding of eccentric fillet joints has been studied for stainless steel. Laser hybrid welding enables narrow deep welds with freedom for shaping the upper weld geometry. The significance of geometrical aspects like weld toe radius, weld surface topography and lack of fusion on fatigue cracking is discussed. Constant amplitude four point bending tests, S/N-curve, topogra...

BACKGROUND We aimed to develop a simple structural model of aortic aneurysms using computer-assisted drafting (CAD) in order to create a basis of definition for saccular aortic aneurysms. METHODS AND RESULTS We constructed a simple aortic aneurysm model with 2 components: a tube similar to an aorta and an ellipse analogous to a bulging aneurysm. Three parameters, including the vertical and ho...

The objective of this paper was to investigate the performance of recessed single-lap joints with dissimilar adherends through the finite element method. The influence of material and geometric nonlinearity of the adhesive as well as the impact of the recess length was examined in terms of maximum principal stresses. The strength of the joint was obtained as the load to initiate the crack propa...
