The effect of eccentricity ratio, shaft speed, and axial length are investigated. The result showed that, like the hydrodynamic bearing, the supercritical CO2 swirling in the annulus passage produces substantial mechanical support on the shaft.

Here we improve upon our previous automated computational method, now enhancing it for analysis of human crepitus. Compared with this group's previous studies using a mechanical model; human crepitus is extremely complex. Moreover, there is no existing availability of large numbers of human crepitus data to enable effective machine learning approaches. Therefore, we proposed an automated method (AM) of analysis that, analogous to machine learning, used a test set (n = 16) and an experimental set of data (n = 48). The advantage of beginning with this approach was that we identified characteristics of the signal that are unavailable or otherwise not easily obtained in more advanced methods, such as “black box” machine learning methods. However, we did not have the high fidelity that a machine learning approach would provide. This was shown by only a fair level of inter-rater agreement (Kw = 0.367; SE = 0.054, 95% CI = 0.260-0.474) between the AM and human observers before adjustments were made in the AM. Following adjustments to the AM, inter-rater agreement improved to a substantial level of agreement (Kw = 0.788; SE = 0.056, 95% CI = 0.0.682-0.895). In the future, we recommend a machine learning study with a high number of subjects, that can better capture the nuances of varying types of human crepitus.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42477138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lubrication condition of the tribo-pair deteriorates as the meshing point moves toward the center of the scrolls. The effects of radial clearance and refrigerant mass fraction on friction and lubrication are strongly influenced by the meshing position.

The contact stiffness between the races and the balls is considered as a series of springs is also incorporated in the model. Hertzian contact deformation theory is used to obtain the contact stiffness. This model considers the contact deformation between the balls and the races, the additional displacement between the balls and the inner race due to radial clearance, and due to defect geometry. The maximum possible radial displacement of the ball into the defect is calculated analytically using the groove radius, ball radius and defect diameter. The rectangular function is used for modelling the defect. MATLAB codes are developed for modelling the shaft-bearing system and for solving the differential equations of motion using the Runge-Kutta method. The vibration responses obtained by modelling and by experimentation show similar vibration characteristics. The investigation shows that the values of statistical parameters initially increase with the increase in defect size and then decrease with a further increase in defect size. While peak and RMS increase with the speed and crest factor and kurtosis decrease with an increase in speed. Peak is more sensitive for diagnosing spalls on outer race and its evolution. This study helps as an effective diagnosis of antifriction bearings having spalls on the outer race under unbalanced conditions.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":"1 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41276099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the half-space theories themselves do not involve shape effects of roughness on Green's functions/influence coefficients; in deterministic rough-surface contact analyses, the roughness is considered in gap function. This approach can be called the “roughness simplification”. One needs to answer two questions about the validity of the roughness simplification: How appropriate is the roughness simplification in modeling rough-surface contacts? How accurate can the commonly-included contact-plasticity behavior be captured under the roughness simplification? This work utilized a double-scale representation of an asperity--a microscopic deformable asperity stacked on a deformable half-space, to obtain their combined contact responses in both elastic and plastic regimes. The deformation and contact behaviors of asperities thus configured were obtained with finite element method (FEA) and rough-surface half-space contact solvers. Three stages of asperity contact were discovered: the Hertzian stage, the single-region elastoplastic stage, and the two-region elastoplastic stage where the surrounding base material also takes part in the contact. The comparisons of contact deformation and pressure results from both the FEA and half-space contact solvers support the validity of the half-space theories with the roughness simplification for various ellipsoid-shape asperities with circular-bases in both elastic and elastoplastic rough-surface asperity modeling. The research also reveals that when significant plastic deformations occur, asperities with different aspect ratios can bear different maximum elastoplastic contact pressures.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47414023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The composites are made up of using stir casting process with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and graphene as reinforcements. In the present work, one material factor (Material Type (MT)) and three tribological factors (load(L), velocity (V), and sliding distance (D)) were chosen to study their influence on the wear rate. Taguchi technique is employed for the design of experiments and it was observed that load (L) is the most influencing parameter on WR, followed by MT, D, and V. The optimal values of influencing parameters for WR are as follows: MT = T2, L = 10 N, V = 2 m/s, and D = 500 m. The wear mechanisms at the highest and lowest WR conditions were also studied by observing their SEM micrographs on wear pin's surface and its debris. From the SEM analysis, it was observed that abrasion, delamination, adhesion and oxidation mechanisms were exhibited on the wear surface. Machine learning (ML) models such as artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and decision tree (DT) were used to develop an effective prediction model to predict the output responses at the corresponding input variables. Confirmation tests were conducted under optimal conditions, and the same were examined with the results of ANN, ANFIS and DT. It was noticed that DT model exhibited higher accuracy when compared to other models considered in this study.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45787063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to enhance computational efficiency, this probabilistic study is conducted in conjunction with the machine learning model (ML) based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The uncertainty in the bearing responses is presented in the form of the probability density function (PDF), considering both the independent and combined effect of the stochastically varied input parameters.
