Ceramic balls have become an important component in advanced bearings, and the sphericity of balls is a key qualification focused in lapping process. An investigation on the effect of dynamic behavior of ball support system on the performance of ball lapping in rotated dual-plates lapping method is carried out. Sinusoidal waveform in terms of Fourier analysis is employed to express the shape error of the ball surface, and a dynamic model for support is setup.

Abstract:
A pitcher’s action, when delivering a fastball, was analyzed from the data provided by a smart baseball. The spin rate at the release of the ball was merely 15.7 rps, however, the peak torque was excessively high, namely 0.396 Nm. The reason why the pitcher was not able to translate the torque entirely to angular kinetic energy and this to the spin rate was that the spin axis changed its direction suddenly three times when moving across the ball’s surface. This resulted in angles between torque and angular velocity vectors of greater than 90°, high precession and precession torque, and negativ

Abstract:
This paper proposed a new ball spin forming equipment, which can form a reduced diameter section on the halfway point of a tube. The effects of forming process parameters on the surface integrity and deformation characteristics of the product were investigated. The proposed method can reduce the diameter in the middle portion of the tube, and the maximum diameter reduction ratio was over 10% in one pass. When the feed pitch of the ball die was more than 2.0 mm/rev, spiral marks remained on the surface of tube. Torsional deformation, axial elongation and an increase in thickness appeared in the

Abstract:
Combustion synthesis (CS) of β-SiAlON was conducted using a 3D ball mill, with a focus on the effect of the 2D/3D ball mill premixing conditions on the CS raw material particle size as well as on the yield and grain shape of the final products. The results showed that the particle size distribution of the raw materials was significantly affected by the premixing conditions. Various particle sizes and particle size distributions could easily be obtained by using a 3D mill instead of a 2D mill due to the complex biaxial rotation movement of 3D milling. The particle size was more sensitive to the

Abstract:
Under-race lubrication can increase the amount of lubricating oil entering a bearing and greatly improve lubrication and cooling effects. The oil-air two-phase flow characteristics inside a ball bearing with under-race lubrication play a key role in lubrication and cooling performance. The motions of ball bearing subassemblies are complicated. Ball spin affects the oil volume fraction. In this paper, the coupled level set volume of fluid (CLSVOF) method is used to track the oil-air two-phase flow inside the ball bearing with under-race lubrication. The influence of various factors on the oil v

Abstract:
Initial ball flight characteristics of curve and instep kicks were investigated. Fifteen international female footballers performed curve and instep kicks from a distance of 20 m from goal and at a 1 m2 target. Seventeen Vicon cameras tracked three-dimensional coordinates of four reflective markers adhered to the ball. Ball flight characteristics were quantified, and the coordinates of the ball relative to the target center were recorded. The lateral launch angle and the angle of the spin axis relative to the horizontal best predicted the horizontal placement of the ball relative to the target

Abstract:
Five different soccer balls, each possessing the traditional 32-panel surface design, were tested in a wind tunnel. Only seam depth and width varied between the balls. Wind-tunnel tests and an examination of correlation revealed that seam width with a linear fit [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was a stronger indicator of a ball’s critical speed than seam depth. Wind-tunnel data were used for computational modeling of many soccer-ball trajectories. It was determined that variations in seam geometry resulted in fluctuations up to 4 m in the horizontal range of hard-hit, no-spin kicks

Abstract:
The last two decades have seen a growing interest in research related to billiards. There have been a number of projects aimed at developing training systems, robots, and computer simulations for billiards. Determination of billiard ball trajectories is important for all of these systems. The ball's collision with a cushion is often encountered in billiards and it drastically changes the ball trajectory, especially when the ball has spin. This work predicts ball bounce angles and bounce speeds for the ball's collision with a cushion, under the assumption of insignifi-cant cushion deformation.

Abstract:
It has been observed that balls pressed between elastic bodies spin when subjected to linear, cyclic motion. This paper proposes an explanation to this phenomenon, based upon the stick-slip theory. To this end, a modified, vectorial formulation of the stick-slip theory is presented. The formulation is applied to a model comprising a ball pressed between pairs of springs and dampers. A computer program based on this formulation is used to predict the resulting motion. Predictions are shown to agree with experimental results. [S0021-8936(01)00701-2]
