Effect of Tapered Interference Fit between Impeller and Shaft in Turbo Machines

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering, 2018
In Turbo machines, there are many components which are provided with interference to transmit torque and to maintain contact between them. There are transient scenarios where impeller and shaft lose interference and limits the speed of the impeller.

Preventive measures of fretting wear in contact surfaces of inner ring and backing ring of railway axle journal bearings (Combined effect of grooving and segment‐structured DLC coating towards backing rings)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019
Fretting wear is surface damage caused by repeated slight relative slips between two contact surfaces. In railway applications, fretting wear may occur between the inner ring and the backing ring of an axle journal tapered roller bearing.

FFT-Based Methods for Computational Contact Mechanics

open access: yesFrontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
Computational contact mechanics seeks for numerical solutions to contact area, pressure, deformation, and stresses, as well as flash temperature, in response to the interaction of two bodies.

Contact pressures in the human hip joint [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1987
The pressure distribution between the cartilaginous surfaces in the human hip joint was measured using pressure-sensitive film. Five cadaveric hip joints (aged between 58 and 87 years) were measured at three positions and loads, representing three instants in the stance phase of the walking cycle.

A comparison of the predictions of a finite element model and multiscale model for a rough MEMS electrical contact

open access: yes, 2013
Rough surface contact is difficult to model effectively due to multiple scales of detail that need to be considered. This work presents the results of a multiscale rough surface contact model in comparison to a finite element based deterministic model ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
