Rolling Element Bearing Diagnosis Using Machinery Fault Simulator
Abstract: The paper presents the diagnosis strategy for the rolling element bearing system used in machinery fault simulator (MFS). The concept is generic and it is applicable for most of the system involving bearing sub-system. The MFS details and its various maintenance strategies described. The monitoring of the rolling element bearing (REB), done with the accelerometer sensors. Acquisition of data from the sensor analog voltage to the CPU in digital format …

Finite Element Modelling and Structural 3d Static of the Mechanical Behavior of Dry Contacts Slipping Between the Disc and the Brake Pads
Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to present a study based on the determination of the structural deformations due to the contact of slipping between the disc and the pads. The results of contact described in this work relate to displacements, Von Mises stress and contact pressures of the pad at various moments of simulation. One precedes then the influence of some parameters on the computation results such as rotation …

3D Stress State Dependent Failure Model for Fracture Simulations
Abstract: The state of stress is defined by triaxiality (hydrostatic pressure) and the lode angle parameter (deviatoric stress third invariant). The stress state not only varies with different kinds of loading but also with the location of the stress concentration, geometry of specimen and deformation. The LS-DYNA implementation of a strain-based, stress state dependent failure criterion for a ductile material is investigated through simulations of standard experiments in this paper. A …

Investigation On Behavior Of Cold Formed Steel In Beam Column Connections
Abstract: Cold form steel structures are used for numerous purposes in construction industry. An attempt has been made in this study to check the behavior of beam column connections by using self-tapered screw in cold form steel section theoretical, experimentally and analytically. Finally, the experimental results are compared with analytical results. This study aims at the following objective by test performed on cold formed steel section to check the behavior connections. …

A Brief Description on the Use of Honeycomb Structures in Aerospace Applications
Abstract: Following by the motto of manufacturing light-weighted vehicles with low strength to weight ratio, lower stiffness and density, engineering sectors namely, aviation, automobile designing, light weight construction are largely influenced by structural conjuration of a honeycomb. Inspired by the notion, many organizations are working out on improvised form of honeycomb structural panels. Since the adhesive property of hexagonal honeycomb structures is of major concern in aircraft component. The use of …

Research Insight: Earthquake Resistant Structures in Construction Sector
Abstract: It is normally unpredictable to reckon uncertain seismic activity, but hopefully advanced Earthquake warning systems have been developed that can provide regional notification of an earthquake in progress, that provide timely alerts to the mass but before the ground surface has begun to move, potentially allowing people within the system's range to seek shelter before the earthquake's impact is felt. More to the plate is the attempt to create earthquake …
