A new, general and consistent mathematical model of highly modular character is presented for calculation of the equilibrium and associated load distribution in rolling element bearings. The bearings may be loaded and displaced in five degrees of freedom. High speed rolling element loading is considered, internal friction is neglected, the material is assumed linearly elastic and the bearing rings are modelled as rigid except for local contact deformation. Either classical Hertzian contact analysis or modern non-Hertzian contact analysis of sophisticated or approximate character is used as applicable. The bearing stiffness matrix is computed analytically and used internally in the iterative bearing equilibrium calculation; its final values may be used for other purposes such as (rotor) dynamics analysis. In Part I, the general theory and application to ball bearings is presented. In Part II, application of the general theory to roller bearings and an experimental verification are presented.

In the situation of high-speed or heavy load, pneumatic cylinders usually generate cushion failure like collision or rebound, so that the key question to be solved for the cylinders is cushion. In order to obtain a better cushion method, the paper used the ideal cushion characteristic curve of hydraulic cylinders for reference; and throttling area equation, temperature equation, flow rate equation and motion equation were established. By building the simulation module in Matlab/Simulink, the rule of throttling area approaching to the ideal cushion curve was found, which provide theoretical basis for the design of cylinders cushion devices.

With the mounting application of carburized or case-hardening gears and higher requirements of heavy-load, high-speed in mechanical systems such as wind turbines, helicopters, ships, etc., contact fatigue issues of gears are becoming more preponderant. Recently, significant improvements have been made on the gear manufacturing process to control subsurface-initiated failures, hence, gear surface-initiated damages, such as micropitting, should be given more attention. The diversity of the influence factors, including gear materials, surface topographies, lubrication properties, working conditions, etc., are necessary to be taken into account when analyzing gear micropitting behaviors. Although remarkable developments in micropitting studies have been achieved recently by many researchers and engineers on both theoretical and experimental fields, large amounts of investigations are yet to be further launched to thoroughly understand the micropitting mechanism. This work reviews recent relevant studies on the micropitting of steel gears, especially the competitive phenomenon that occurs among several contact fatigue failure modes when considering gear tooth surface wear evolution. Meanwhile, the corresponding recent research results about gear micropitting issues obtained by the authors are also displayed for more detailed explanations.

The present work focuses on the aerodynamic problems resulting from a high-speed train (HST) passing through a tunnel. Numerical simulations were employed to obtain the numerical results, and they were verified by a moving-model test. Two responses, [Formula: see text] (coefficient of the peak-to-peak pressure of a single fluctuation) and[Formula: see text] (pressure value of micro-pressure wave), were studied with regard to the three building parameters of the portal-hat buffer structure of the tunnel entrance and exit. The MOPSO (multi-objective particle swarm optimization) method was employed to solve the optimization problem in order to find the minimum [Formula: see text] and[Formula: see text]. Results showed that the effects of the three design parameters on [Formula: see text] were not monotonous, and the influences of[Formula: see text] (the oblique angle of the portal) and [Formula: see text] (the height of the hat structure) were more significant than that of[Formula: see text] (the angle between the vertical line of the portal and the hat). Monotonically decreasing responses were found in [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and[Formula: see text]. The Pareto front of [Formula: see text] and[Formula: see text]was obtained. The ideal single-objective optimums for each response located at the ends of the Pareto front had values of 1.0560 for [Formula: see text] and 101.8 Pa for[Formula: see text].

With increasing demand for high speed and high power density gear applications, the need to optimise gears for minimum stress, noise and vibration becomes increasingly important. ISO 6336 contact and bending stress analysis are used to determine the surface load capacity and tooth bending strength but dates back to 1956 and although it is constantly being updated, a review of its performance is sensible. Methods to optimise gear performance include the selection of helix angle and tooth depth to optimise overlap ratio and transverse contact ratio and thus the performance of ISO 6336 and tooth contact analysis methods requires confirmation. This paper reviews the contact and bending stress predicted with four involute gear geometries and proposes recommendations for stress calculations, including a modification to contact ratio factor Zɛ which is used to predict contact stress and revisions to form factor YF and helix angle factor Yβ which are cited to evaluate bending stress. The results suggest that there are some significant deviations in predicted bending and contact stress values between proposal methods and original ISO standard. However, before the ISO standard is changed, the paper recommends that allowable stress numbers published in ISO 6336-5 are reviewed because the mechanisms that initiate bending and contact fatigue have also changed and these require updating.

Managing the performance of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server under heavy load conditions is a critical task in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network. In this paper, a two-tier model is proposed for the security, load mitigation, and distribution issues of the SIP server. In the first tier, the proposed handler segregates and drops the malicious traffic. The second tier provides a uniform load of distribution, using the least session termination time (LSTT) algorithm. Besides, the mean session termination time is minimized by reducing the waiting time of the SIP messages. Efficiency of the LSTT algorithm is evaluated through the experimental test bed by considering with and without a handler. The experimental results establish that the proposed two-tier model improves the throughput and the CPU utilization. It also reduces the response time and error rate while preserving the quality of multimedia session delivery. This two-tier model provides robust security, dynamic load distribution, appropriate server selection, and session synchronization.

Magnetic memory test technology is a new nondestructive testing technique, which is able to detect of the stress concentration area and potential fault of low speed and heavy load gear. Because the magnetic memory signals are easy to be disturbed by various sources of noises, a new method based on the intrinsic time-scale decomposition (ITD) is proposed to achieve the extraction of magnetic memory signal. Firstly, the magnetic memory signals are decomposed into several proper rotation components (PRC) and a trend component by ITD. Then reconstruct the first four order PRCs to eliminate the low frequency cyclic composition of magnetic memory signal and magnetic noise. Finally, the magnetic signal strengths of each gear tooth root are extracted using cycle average and local statistic method. The results of Experiments show that the method is suitable to pick up effective ingredients of signal to extract signal feature and has important application value in potential fault diagnosis of low speed and heavy load gearbox.

The high-speed, heavy-load and changeable triangle track wheel is a motion device that can carry out interchange between the track wheel and tire in an ordinary vehicle. The topology optimization for the support frame can reduce weight and improve the maneuverability of the vehicle. However, it is difficult to consider simultaneously its weight, stiffness and modal in the process of the structure optimization. Thus, a topology optimization method for multi-objective and multi-working-condition is proposed based on the AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and average frequency method. Firstly, considering the static multi-stiffness target and dynamic vibration frequency target, using the compromise programming method and average frequency method, the objective function of the multi-objective and multi-working-condition topology optimization is established. Then, based on the optimization target, design criteria and indexes, the lightweight hierarchical structure model of the support frame consisting of three levels and eight weight factors is established. Values of 8 weight coefficients of the multi-objective topology optimization are determined through solving the weight factor judgment matrix. Finally, considering the multi-working-condition, taking the minimum objective function of the static and dynamic characteristics as target, and the volume ratio is 50% as boundary, the mathematical model of the topology optimization is established. Simulation results show that the stiffness and strength of the support frame are improved respectively by 74.3% and 1.3% while its weight is reduced by 16.3%. This method also provides a new way to the lightweight design for other large, heavy and multi-condition equipment.
