    Abstract: Cutting tool wear is a very complex process. Various factors have a direct or indirect effect on cutting tool wear, resulting in uncertainty, so it is difficult for experimental data and result to have good stability. However, Vibration analysis is a very important means for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. This paper aims to study the met... Show More

    Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the relationship between maximum stresses produced and cycle life of different shaped bellows expansion joints. Flexible pipe bellows which have been selected in the present study are made of stainless (STS 304) and (STS 316) material based on two types of (axial, and axial with control ring) with three shapes of bell...

    Abstract: Hydroinertia gas journal bearings have been applied to solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These bearings, which require a larger radial clearance than conventional externally pressurized bearings, achieve stable operation for ultra high-speed rotation of spinner shaft at several million rpm. However, their small diameters, which r... Show More
