The Journal of Engineering Tribology, Part J of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research on engineering science associated with tribology and its applications. The journal was first published in 1994 and is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of IMechE. [1]
Extreme tribology refers to tribological situations under extreme operating conditions which can be related to high loads and/or temperatures, or severe environments. Also, they may be related to high transitory contact conditions, or to situations with near-impossible monitoring and maintenance opportunities.
Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion. It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics , chemistry , materials science , mathematics , biology and engineering . [ 1 ]
A cycloidal drive or cycloidal speed reducer is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft by a certain ratio. Cycloidal speed reducers are capable of relatively high ratios in compact sizes with very low backlash. [1] The input shaft drives an eccentric bearing that in turn drives the cycloidal disc in an eccentric, cycloidal motion ...
The Engineering Heritage Awards were created in 1984 to help recognise and promote the value of artefacts, locations, collections and landmarks of significant engineering importance. Along with The Manufacturer, the Institution also runs The Manufacturer MX Awards, [ 11 ] and Formula Student , the world's largest student motorsport event.
The basic concept of strain wave gearing (SWG) was introduced by C.W. Musser in a 1957 patent [5] [6] while he was an advisor at United Shoe Machinery Corp (USM). It was first used successfully in 1960 by USM Co. and later by Hasegawa Gear Works under license of USM.
PDF is a standard for encoding documents in an "as printed" form that is portable between systems. However, the suitability of a PDF file for archival preservation depends on options chosen when the PDF is created: most notably, whether to embed the necessary fonts for rendering the document; whether to use encryption; and whether to preserve additional information from the original document ...
