The equations are governed by three dimensionless parameters that depend on the nominal motion, mass distribution and influence coefficients of the linkage in which the joint appears, as well as the clearance magnitude. A series of numerical solutions of the equations is used to predict the conditions under which contact is lost, leading to impacts. The results are presented in the form of a design chart and the implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115396560","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}

By contrast other wear-out modes involving a continuous loss of strength give rise to a steadily increasing failure rate after the period of intrinsic reliability has expired. Practical examples of each type are quoted to substantiate the theoretical deductions. The interpretation of wear out characteristics by Weibull distributions is discussed.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122988184","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 results quantify the flow patterns in the arrangement and demonstrate the extent to which they can be represented by calculation. The discrepancies between measured and calculated results are shown to depend more on the distribution of grid nodes than on the turbulence model. Even with a distribution of nodes which is considered to be near optimum, differences between measurement and calculation exist and are particularly significant in the regions of steep velocity gradient immediately downstream of the incoming annular jet. The general trends are, however, correctly represented, and the calculation method has been used to determine the influence of the width of the annulus and of the jet gap.
