The surface roughness effects on the dynamic squeezing behavior of a finite length partial journal bearing under a time dependent oscillating load is studied. Use Christensen’s stochastic models to develop the stochastic Reynolds’ equation of the longitudinal, transverse and uniform isotropic roughness. According to the results obtained, the roughness pattern, the height of roughness and have s...

This paper presents an investigation on the undesirable vibration of an oblique-stud stator frame in a large hydropower generator by means of experimental and finite element (FE) analysis. First, field experimental tests were performed, and the results indicate that the main vibration component comes from electromagnetic factors. Then, a 2D-magnetic and 3D-mechanical FE model was developed to i...

The Zagreb eccentricity indices are the eccentricity reformulation of the Zagreb indices. Let H be a simple graph. The first Zagreb eccentricity index (E1(H)) is defined to be the summation of squares of the eccentricity of vertices, i.e., E1(H) = ∑u∈V(H) Symmetry 2016, 9, 7; doi: 10.3390/sym9010007 www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry Article First and Second Zagreb Eccentricity Indices of Thorny Gra...

Cell shape influences function, and the current model suggests that such shape effect is transient. However, cells dynamically change their shapes, thus, the critical question is whether shape information remains influential on future cell function even after the original shape is lost. We address this question by integrating experimental and computational approaches. Quantitative live imaging ...

introducing three principal methods of determining the solar orbital eccentricity in the ancient and medieval astronomy (i.e., the method of seasons, of mid-signs, of three–points), the accuracy of the results obtained from each is being investigated. in doing so, two main goals have been targeted: (1) to determine the accuracy and the intrinsic limitation of each method with regard to their st...

We consider particles with low free or proper eccentricity that are orbiting near planets on eccentric orbits. Via collisionless particle integration we numerically find the location of the boundary of the chaotic zone in the planet’s corotation region. We find that the distance in semi-major axis between the planet and boundary depends on the planet mass to the 2/7 power and is independent of ...

Factors underlying Weber's law for position were investigated by measuring spatial interval discrimination accuracy for spectrally narrow-band stimuli. These stimuli were positioned around an iso-eccentric arc in order to allow separation and eccentricity to be varied independently. We find that Weber's law occurs at individual spatial scales, and holds true not just for stimuli positioned eith...

In the condition monitoring of induction machines operating in various industry sectors, assessment eccentricity is as important windings, bearings, mechanical vibrations or noise. The reasons for can be various; example, rotor imbalance, damage wear improper alignment and load machine finally, assembly errors after overhaul. Disregard this phenomenon during routine tests may result development...

The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ is the maximum distance between $v$ and anyother vertex. A vertex with maximum eccentricity is called a peripheral vertex.The peripheral Wiener index $ PW(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum ofthe distances between all pairs of peripheral vertices of $G.$ In this paper, weinitiate the study of the peripheral Wiener index and we investigate its basicproperti...

The center (periphery) of a graph is the set of vertices with minimum (maximum) eccentricity. In this paper, the structure of centers and peripheries of some classes of composite graphs are determined. The relations between eccentricity, radius and diameter of such composite graphs are also investigated. As an application we determine the center and periphery of some chemical graphs such as nan...
