The internal gear tooth profile is divided into two parts: involute and transition curves, and the gear tooth stiffness is calculated by numerical integration based on accurate tooth profile, which improves the calculation accuracy. Analyzed the influence of different crack size parameters on the stiffness of internal meshing gears. A coupled dynamic model of a planetary system with internal gear crack faults was established, and the influence of cracks on the dynamic response of the planetary system was studied using Zoom-FFT spectrum and cepstrum analysis methods. The simulation results show that as the crack parameter size increases, the mesh stiffness of the internal gear pair gradually weakens, and the periodic vibration impact of the planetary-internal gear pair is also more severe. Cepstrum analysis can easily capture weak fault characteristic frequency information in the system and discover their variation patterns. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the state monitoring and fault diagnosis of gear systems with crack defects.","PeriodicalId":342934,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Researches in Engineering","volume":"69 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140376695","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 further explains how the hotel was built, and the challenges that had to be addressed to complete the project. Finally, it examines how the use of modular construction methods and the uniqueness of the project impacted the normal hotel pre-opening activities and ongoing hotel operations.

These spherical TWC particles were fabricated through the agglomeration of primary CZ and alumina particulates, incorporating Pd and Rh catalysts. By comparing experimental CO2 emissions with simulation results over time, a temperature-dependent diffusion coefficient was determined. The simulation results reveal that the effective distance of oxygen atom transport within CZ particulates, heterogeneously distributed in the spherical TWC particle, is limited to approximately 100 nm from the surface of agglomerated spherical TWC particles within a temperature range of 175 to 225°C.","PeriodicalId":342934,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Researches in Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139231972","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}

To address this issue, this study introduces an innovative virtual reality technique and advanced motion tracking system integrated with ergonomics tools to effectively evaluate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among aircraft attendants during their routine tasks. The study involved twenty-two participants who performed two common tasks: opening/closing the passenger door,and lifting luggage from the floor and placing it into the overhead compartment. The inappropriate postures were identified, which resulted in excessive strain on the participants’ lower back. By analyzing the impact of biomechanical variables, such as object weight, body height, and trunk motion, on the lower back, the study provides valuable insights that can inform the development of safety training programs and real-time monitoring approaches for injury prevention. Additionally, this innovative technology can be applied to other occupational fields.","PeriodicalId":342934,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Researches in Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131477149","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}

For example, structural fatigue life is mostly in accordance with the Weibull distribution rather than the Gaussian distribution, and the Weibull distribution is in a sense a more general full state distribution than the Gaussian distribution. However, the biggest obstacle affecting the application of the Weibull distribution is the complexity of the Weibull distribution, especially the estimation of its three parameters is relatively difficult. In order to avoid this difficulty, people used to solve this problem by taking the logarithm to make the data appear to be more consistent with the Gaussian distribution. But in fact, this approach is problematic, because from the physical point of view, the structure of the data has changed and the physical meaning has changed, so it is not appropriate to use logarithmic Gaussian distribution to fit the original data after logarithm. The author thinks that Z.T. Gao method can give the estimation of three parameters of Weibull distribution conveniently, which lays a solid mathematical foundation for Weibull distribution to directly fit the original data.","PeriodicalId":342934,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Researches in Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133352120","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}
