This study was performed to develop accelerated life test methods for agricultural tractor transmission receiving variable load. To acquire parameters for calculation of accelerated life test, endurance tests were performed under different torque conditions. Test results showed that the shape factor of Weibull distribution was 1.5 and fatigue damage exponent was 5.4. The calculated test time was 5,877 hours under the conditions of average life (MTBF) 3,000 hours and 90% reliability for one test sample. According to the linear cumulative damage rule, test time could be reduced using increased test load. Test time could be reduced by 252 hours when 1.2 times of the rated load compared with 0.67 times of the rated equivalent load calculated by load spectrum of the agricultural tractor. Calculated acceleration coefficient was 23.3.

The safety of tilting train running on curved track is, in general, evaluated with a derailment coefficient calculated by the ratio of wheel load and lateral force, Particularly on curve, the wheel load and lateral force on rail may cause trackbed to be deformed, depending on their intensity, and moreover, often result in critical accident such as derailment. This study hence was intended to identify the cause of wheel load and lateral force so as to suggest the allowable wheel load reduction rate, lateral force limit and derailment coefficient, thereby quantitatively evaluating the operational safety of tilting train. This study therefore was aimed to analyze the wheel load and lateral force occurred during tilting train's operation on circular curve in such a way of comparing with traditional trains, by axle and speed, in a bid to eventually evaluate the operational safety of tilting train.

The present article is aimed at an investigation of stresses produced in a microstretch elastic half-space due to a moving load. The expressions of normal stress, shear stress and tangential couple stress produced in this case have been obtained in closed form. To find the displacement fields the perturbation method is applied. Significant effect of moving load on variation of stresses developed at different depths below the surface due to the depth of substrate and frictional coefficient of the rough surface of the medium has been observed. The effects of different shapes of irregularity and depth of irregularity on normal, shear and tangential couple stresses have been discussed. Some particular cases have also been deduced from the present investigation. Finally, the analytical developments have been illustrated numerically for aluminium-epoxy-like material substrate under the action of moving load.

The effect of viscous damping on stability of beam resting on an elastic foundation subjected to a dry friction force is analytically studied. The beam resting on an elastic foundation subjected to dry friction force is modeled for simplicity into a beam resting on Kelvin-Voigt type foundation subjected to distributed follower load. In particular, the effects of four boundary conditions (clamped-free, clamped-pinned, pinned-pinned, clamped-clamped) on the system stability are considered. The critical value and instability type of columns on the elastic foundation subjected to a distributed follower load is investigated by means of finite element method for four boundary conditions. The elastic foundation modulus, viscous damping coefficient and boundary conditions affect greatly both the instability type and critical load. Also, the increase of damping coefficient raises the critical flutter load (stabilizing effect) but reduces the critical divergence load (destabilizing effect).

This study experimentally investigates the effects of angular acceleration on the friction and wear performances of a gas foil thrust bearing (GFTB) using a typical GFTB with six pads. The outer radius of the bearing is 31.5 mm, the total bearing area is 2,041 mm² , and the bump foil and incline (ramp) height are both 500 ㎛. The newly developed GFTB test rig for measuring the friction torque and coefficient measures the axial load, drag torque, lift-off speed, and touch-down speed. The experiment is conducted for angular accelerations of 78.5, 314.2, and 328.3 rad/s² at axial loads of 5, 10, and 15 N, respectively. The test shows that the start-up friction coefficient increases with increasing axial load at the same angular acceleration, and the friction coefficient decreases with increasing angular acceleration under the same axial load. As the angular acceleration increases, the lift-off speed at the motor start-up increases, and the touch-down speed at the motor stop decreases. The wear distance of the GFTB for a single on/off cycle increases with increasing axial load at the same angular acceleration and decreases nonlinearly with increasing angular acceleration under the same axial load. The test results suggest that adjusting the rotational angular acceleration helps reduce bearing friction and wear.

The determination of the pre-consolidation load known to have a great effect on the consolidation characteristics of the soil have been researched and discussed in detail by many other researchers. A study was undertaken to investigate and compare the effect of pre-consolidation loads on the coefficient of permeability and the consolidation characterisics of soil through the consolidation test on the three types of soil samples. The results of this study are follows; 1. Large compression index is dependent on initial void ratio of the sample being used and the pressure-void ratio curve shows a curved linear relationship in over-consolidated area but a linear relationship in normally consolidated area.2. Settlement-time curve is S-shaped where the pressure is larger than pre-consolidation load and regardless of over-burden pressure, it is a similar straight line respectively in the secondary consolidation area. 3. Primary consolidation ratio of the sample increases almost linearly with the increase of over-burden pressure but the coefficient of volume compressibility decreases linearly with the increase of it. 4. Time factor of a certain degree of consolidation increases with over-burden pressure but the coefficient of consolidation decreases with it in over-consolidated area. There is a linear relationship between them in normally consolidated area. 5. The void ratio of completion point of primary consolidation decreases linearly with over-burden pressure. 6. The coefficient of permeability of sample decreases linearly with over-burden pressure in normally consolidated area, also it increases linearly with increment of the void ratio of the sample.

The influences of the load resistance $R_L$ on the magnetoelectric (ME) characteristics of $NiZnFe_2O_4+PZT$ composite were investigated in the non-resonance frequency range. The ME coefficient peak increases with increasing $R_L$, but the frequency indicating the ME coefficient peak decreases with increasing $R_L$. The maximum output power peak is approximately $9.3{\times}10^{-10}mW/Oe$ near $R_L=3.3M{\Omega}$ at f=280 Hz, and the ME coefficient seems to be saturated at $R_L>20M{\Omega}$. This frequency shift effect of $R_L$ shows that the frequency range for an ME sensor application can be modulated with the appropriate value of $R_L$. The ME output voltage has a good linear response to the ac field Hac and shows fair stability over a range of temperatures. The measured non-linearity of this sample is approximately 0.8%. This sample will allow for a low-strength magnetic ac-field sensor. The result from this sample will serve as basic data for a signal-processing circuit system.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the tribological characteristics of PTFE composites filled with nano CuO particles under low sliding speed and load. All the specimens were prepared by sintering. Before sintering, the mixture of PTFE powder and CuO particles were mixed by a high-speed mixer using CuO volume fractions of 0.2 vol. % and 5 vol. %. Each mixture was sintered at 350 ℃ for 30 min on the steel disk. We conducted ball-on-disk sliding test an hour using a steel ball against PTFE composites, including pure PTFE. The load and sliding speed used was 2 N and 0.01 m/s, respectively. Adding nano CuO particles increases the friction coefficient because of the abrasiveness of hard nano CuO particles. The highest coefficient of frictions was obtained from 5 vol. % CuO. Conversely, the lowest wear of the composites was obtained from the 5 vol. % CuO nanocomposite. This study reveals that the addition of nano CuO particles can lower the wear of PTFE, despite an increase in the coefficient of friction. However, the coefficient friction is still moderate compared to other engineering polymers. In addition, the amount of CuO nano particles has to be optimized to reduce friction and wear at the same time.
