Abstract:
The article provides an overview of the methods of restoration and repair of various parts of the equipment: shafts, couplings, splined and keyed joints. Recommendations on the choice of methods, equipment and tools are given. In case of wear, the keyway is repaired by welding the face with subsequent milling. At the same time, the keyway size set by the standard is maintained. Such repairs are also possible: the keyway is expanded and deepened, completely eliminating the traces of wear, after which a stepped key is made to it. However, with such repairs, a high-quality connection is not provi

Abstract:
Experiments were performed to study vortex shedding behind a linearly tapered cylinder. Four cylinders were used, with taper ratios varying from 50:1 to 100:1. The cylinders were each run at four different velocities, adjusted to cover the range of laminar vortex shedding for a non-tapered cylinder. The flow was confirmed to consist of discrete shedding cells, each with a constant frequency. For a centrespan Reynolds number greater than 100, the dimensionless mean cell length was found to be a constant. Individual cell size was found to be roughly self-similar. New shedding cells were created

Interpolated cubic splines were used to estimate diameters and partial or total volumes for 285 trees from Pinustaeda L. plantations in southern Brazil.

The various number of combinations with 13 or fewer points for interpolation were compared with a full spline of 16 points, which according to pertinent literature, estimates volume similarly to the traditional volume formulas (Newton, Huber, Smalian).

Abstract:
AbstractA novel Michelson interferometric hydrogen sulphide sensor coated with copper/reduced graphene oxide (Cu/rGO) composite membrane is proposed and fabricated. A section of endlessly photonic crystal fibre (EPCF) was sandwiched in two single-mode fibres (SMFs). One SMF was spliced and tapered with EPCF; the other SMF was connected with the Faraday rotator mirror to construct the Michelson structure. The cladding of the EPCF was coated by the Cu/rGO-sensing membrane, which was prepared by the dip-coating method. The obtained Cu/rGO-sensing film has a length of 25.0 mm. The fabricated sensi

Abstract:
Lack of generalized equations has prevailed in Brazil, because it is assumed that localized or climate-specific equations are needed. This study aimed to develop generalized stem taper and volume equations applicable to 11 eucalyptus clones and evaluate if climate variation impacts the accuracy of the estimates. A total of 693 trees evenly distributed across 11 clones at 21 sites were used for model fittings and predictive validation. The penalized mixed spline (PMS) approach was developed for predicting stem taper and volume along the stem profile. The Schumacher and Hall (1933) equation was

Abstract:
Harmonic drive has widespread applications for its compact size and high reduction ratios. It is often favored for electro-mechanical systems with space and weight limitation. In order to minimize the volume and improve its transmission capacity, more and more aborative design technologies are adopted. For structural analyses in assembly state and in transmission stage, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be widely applied to get proper parameters and performance. Flexspline usually endures large deformation under assembly force from wave generator. In transmission state, driving force leads to

Lateral extrusion, sometimes called injection upsetting, offers a product with central boss section having complete or segmented protrusions. Collar flanges, spur gear forms, spline or taper with shaft are examples of the products of produce by lateral extrusion. The aim of this study is to investigate the lateral extrusion of gear-like spline form in terms of forming load and load die filling ratio and comparison the results with those results obtained from a commercially FEM based programme named DEFORM-3D.

Chaotic global analysis of the RR-intervals from the electrocardiogram and preprocessing adjustments were undertaken. The effect of varying two parameters to adjust the Multi-Taper Method (MTM) power spectrum were evaluated. Then, cubic spline interpolations from 1Hz to 13Hz were applied whilst the spectral parameters were fixed. Precisely 1000 RR-intervals of data were recorded. Results. CFP1 and CFP3 are
