We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of rolling elastic ribbons. Particular attention is given to characterizing the steady shapes that arise in static and dynamic rolling configurations. In both cases, above a critical value of the forcing (either gravitational or centrifugal), the ribbon assumes a two-lobed,

Unified Principal S–N Equation for Friction Stir Welding of 5083 and 6061 Aluminum Alloys
With the popularization of friction stir welding (FSW), 5083-H321 and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy materials are widely used during the FSW process. In this study, the fatigue life of friction stir welding with two materials, i.e., 5083-H321 and 6061-T6 ...

Residual stress field of HIPed silicon nitride rolling elements [PDF]
The residual stress field of HIPed Si3N4 rolling elements were studied. Two kinds of HIPed Si3N4 ball blanks self-finished at different nominal lapping loads ranging from 1.3 to 10.87 kgf/ball and four kinds of commercially finished 1/2 in (12.7 mm ...

<p>During the final months of 2011 the New Zealand government revisited a 50 year old proposal to move the inter-island ferry terminal, currently located in Picton, to a site bordering on both Lake Grassmere and the Clifford Bay coastline. This thesis is based around the design of the new terminal facilities.The primary goal of this research is ...

Optimization of damping effect for the air spring by the frequency dependent orifice
This study proposes a newly developed structure for a frequency-dependent orifice for an air spring of a passenger train vehicle. This frequency-dependent orifice reduced both the rolling motion and the vertical vibration at high frequency.

Roll, roll, roll me away [PDF]
When Shelley Stoddart applied for a nursing position with the mobile eye care clinic run by CNIB, there was one job requirement she didn’t understand: the need for an AZ license. So she called her father. “When he heard, he said: ‘You’re going to have to become a truck driver’.”
