The cities for the study and their climate were Villahermosa (hot-humid), Merida (hot-sub humid), Monterrey (dry), Juarez City (very dry), Zacualtipan-Hidalgo (warm-humid) and Mexico City (warm-sub-humid). The thermal behavior of the EAHE was modeled numerically for the corresponding warmest and coldest days of the year for each city and three values of Reynolds number. The 24 hrs simulations were carried out with an in-house code using data every 10 minutes. To get the results, 5,184 computational runs were necessary. The results showed that the EAHE has poor ventilation potential for climates with high levels of humidity such as Villahermosa, while for cities with low levels of humidity such as Chihuahua, the ventilation potential increases significantly, the rest of the cities fall in between. As for its application in Mexico, the results show that the EAHE is highly recommended for dry climates such as at the north of the country and not recommended for humid climates such as at the south and south-east of the country.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85665080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper reveals proper distribution of silicon carbide nano particles (25nm) with aluminium metal matrix. Initially, tensile test has been carried on metal matrix nano composite to study its different properties. It was noticed that the properties of Al-SiCp increases by increasing the weight percentage of SiCp. Viker hardness test has also been conducted to find out the hardness of metal matrix nano composites. Different techniques i.e. Optical microscopy EDX-Analysis were utilized to find out various ingredients of the nano-composite material. The experimental study was carried out using Taguchi L16 orthogonal array by taking three different factors at four different levels each. The response parameters i.e. flank wear of coated carbide insert and surface roughness of Al-SiCp has been optimized by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Various graphs like main effect plot and normal probability plot have been plotted and studied properly. Different optical images of coated insert carbide tools (Insert CNMG 12040822TN 6010) at different runs were conducted to visualize the effects of process and response parameters. From the ANOVA table, it was found that cutting speed as well as depth of cut are found to the most vital parameters in influencing the responses for VBc and depth of cut and feed are found to the most significant parameters in influencing the responses for Ra.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90927551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome these drawbacks, in this study, a multiobjective optimization of journal bearing with double parabolic profiles and groove textures is researched under steady operating conditions using Taguchi and grey relational analysis methods. Firstly, a lubrication model with journal misalignment, elastic deformation, asperity contact, thermal effect is established and formation cause of drawbacks is illustrated. Then, an orthogonal test with considering six factors, i.e., groove number, groove depth, groove length, axial width of double parabolic profiles, radial height of double parabolic profiles and groove location is conducted, meanwhile the effects and significances of each factor on response variables are revealed. Finally, an optimal parameters combination of six factors is determined by grey relational analysis, which gives maximum load carrying capacity and minimum friction loss. Overall, this study may give guidance on journal bearing design to enhance its tribological performance.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78664727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a single-segment NURBS trajectory tool radius compensation algorithm is developed. Different from the straight line and arc trajectory, the self-intersection phenomenon is prone to happen when calculating a single NURBS tool center trajectory, and the self-intersection will cause the overcut of workpiece. To avoid this situation, the algorithm introduced in this paper can detect whether the NURBS tool center track has caused overcut, and deal with the self-processing. Second, the tool radius compensation algorithm with multi-segment NURBS trajectory is implemented. The focus of this part is the tool radius compensation of the trajectory transfer, and the trajectory transfer is divided into two types: the extension type and the shortened type. For the shortened type transfer, cross-processing is needed to avoid the overcut of workpiece at the transfer. When calculating the tool radius compensation of the shortened type, we not only need to find the intersection of the tool center trajectory of two adjacent NURBS curves, but also need to select the intersection we need when a number of intersections exist. For the extension type transfer, in order to ensure the continuity of the tool center trajectory, we need to extend the tool center trajectory or add arc-segment at the transfer. The proposed algorithm can automatically decide where to extend the tool center trajectory or add arc-segment to achieve the best efficiency. Finally, the algorithm can output the calculated NURBS tool center trajectory in the form of linear segment interpolation G code or NURBS interpolation G code according to the processing needs. Simulations on VERICUT and experiments on three-axis CNC machine tool shows the effectiveness and validation of the tool path compensation algorithm.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90315223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three shafts are used to study the effects of journal surface roughness and DLC coating. The journal center locus is recorded. Results show that the combination of DLC coating and the aluminum alloy with lower hardness has the largest seizure load and inclined angle, followed by the combinations of DLC coating and gray iron, and 40Cr steel and gray iron.

The specimens were equipped by a crack propagation gauge (CPG) to monitor the crack growth. However, the presence of crack was detected late by these gauges. The deviation of the resonance frequency was therefore analysed from the time response measurements, and the results were confronted to the CPG measurements to conclude on the validity of the detection threshold provided by the literature.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"145 1","pages":"617"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77572435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This implies a large computation time using the Finite Element Method (FEM) since it requires a large number of cycles for polymers. To alleviate this difficulty, a model order reduction method can be used. In this paper, a mixed strategy is investigated. Through the Proper Generalized Decomposition Method (PGD) framework, this strategy combines the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to create a priori time basis and the FEM to compute the related spatial modes. The method is applied to 3D thermal problems under cyclic loadings. The robustness of the proposed strategy is discussed for various boundary conditions, multi-times, and different cyclic loadings. A large time saving is obtained proving the interest of this alternative strategy to deal with fatigue simulations.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79742554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
