The first calculation is of the transient spin moment which occurs when a constant spin creep angular velocity is applied suddenly to a rolling wheel. This may occur, for example, when a wheel passes over a discontinuity in the rail and rolling contact is resumed suddenly. The second calculation is of the fluctuating spin creep moment which occurs when a coned railway wheel rolls along a slightly corrugated rail.The analysis is highly idealized, using the approximations of the simplified theory of Kalker and assuming that the area of slip is limited to a negligible proportion of the area of contact. In the first calculation, the area of contact is assumed to be circular; in the second calculation, it is assumed to be rectangular.Subject to these far-reaching assumptions, the results of the calculations suggest that oscillatory fluctuations in spin creep may be initiated by rail dis...","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129220167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is intended to be used at a preliminary stage in a turbine design procedure instead of a one-dimensional calculation, since it enables spanwise variations of turbine performance to be calculated with reasonable accuracy and with minimum data preparation in approximately 1/30 of the computer time of a conventional axisymmetric calculation. The method solves the full axisymmetric flow equations on three streamlines through the machine at hub, midspan, and tip, although an approximation is introduced regarding the curvature of the centre streamline. Agreement with a full streamline curvature analysis is shown to be good, and comparisons with a one-dimensional Ainley-Mathieson based performance calculation show how the method is sensitive to root and tip behaviour.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115488166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The minimum bore size of such a die is always smaller than the inlet wire diameter. A suitable lubricant is used to reduce the die wear and drawing load and to produce a good surface finish. Nevertheless, the problem of die wear and wire breakage during start-up is always present.In this paper a new technique of wire drawing is being reported which eliminates the problem of wear and breakage during start-up and also the need to have the diameter of the leading end of the wire reduced for easy insertion through the die. The reduction of the wire diameter is affected by means of the hydrodynamic action of a polymer melt lubricant in conjunction with a long tapering tube, the diameter of the tube being greater than the nominal wire diameter. Reductions in area of up to 21 per cent can be obtained in one single pass using this dieless reduction unit.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121428989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
