A Methodology to Evaluate the Reliability Impact of the Replacement of Welded Components by Additive Manufacturing Spare Parts
(MDPI, 2019-08-26)
This article shows a method for inspection scheduling of structures made by additive manufacturing, derived from reliability function evaluations and overhaul inspection findings. The routine was an adaption of an existing ...
Inspection scheduling based onreliability updating of gas turbinewelded structures
(Sage, 2019-01-28)
This article presents a novel methodology for the inspection scheduling of gas turbine welded structures, based on reliability calculations and overhaul findings. The model was based on a probabilistic crack propagation ...
Influence of the Geometrical Design on Ball and Crossed Roller Wire Race Bearing Behavior under Axial Load
(Elsevier, 2020-12-05)
Wire bearings are becoming popular these days in applications such as defence, robotics, medical devices or shipping industry. They provide weight and inertia reductions, good shock load and vibration absorbing capacity, ...
Load distribution and friction torque in four-point contact slewing bearings considering manufacturing errors and ring flexibility
(Elsevier, 2019-03-16)
This work introduces a methodology for the calculation of the load distribution in four-point contact slewing bearings
considering ball preload, manufacturing errors and ring flexibility. The model is built by the formulation ...
Friction torque in four contact point slewing bearings: Effect of manufacturing errors and ring stiffness
(Elsevier, 2017-02-24)
This work outlines a procedure for the determination of the interferences between balls and raceways in four contact
point slewing bearings due to manufacturing errors. The procedure is applied to a particular case and ...
Friction torque in four-point contact slewing bearings: applicability and limitations of current analytical formulations
(Elsevier, 2017-11)
The friction torque is a key parameter in the design of slewing bearings. The most challenging issue in its calculation
resides in the modelling of rolling element contact mechanics. In this manuscript two models for the ...
An engineering approach for the estimation of slewing bearing stiffness in Wind Turbine Generators
(Wiley, 2018-11-30)
The stiffness of yaw and pitch slewing bearings has a critical influence on the structural
behaviour of Wind Turbine Generators. Thus, it is commonly required by designers for
their simulations to estimate deformations ...
Static structural behaviour of wire bearings: comparison with conventional bearings and study of design and operational parameters
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
In wire bearings the rolling process occurs on raceways machined on steel wires, and the rings are
made of light materials such as aluminium. This particular architecture provides both weight and
inertia savings, but ...
