  2. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    Bearing pressure is a particular case of contact mechanics often occurring in cases where a convex surface (male cylinder or sphere) contacts a concave surface (female cylinder or sphere: bore or hemispherical cup). Excessive contact pressure can lead to a typical bearing failure such as a plastic deformation similar to peening.

  3. Bearing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity

    The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of ...

  4. Sommerfeld number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommerfeld_number

    S is the Sommerfeld Number or bearing characteristic number r is the shaft radius c is the radial clearance μ is the absolute viscosity of the lubricant N is the speed of the rotating shaft in rev/s P is the load per unit of projected bearing area. The second part of the equation is seen to be the Hersey number.

  5. ABEC scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABEC_scale

    The ABEC scale is designed to provide bearing manufacturers dimensional specifications that meet the standards of precision bearings in a specified class. The scale is also used by manufacturers who produce equipment that require bearings must also know the dimensional tolerances to design parts that will accommodate a bearing.

  6. Shallow foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_foundation

    Structural loads from a column or wall are usually greater than 1,000 kPa, while the soil's bearing capacity is commonly less than that (typically less than 400 kPa). By possessing a larger bearing area, the foundation distributes the pressure to the soil, decreasing the bearing pressure to within allowable values. [2]

  7. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    A structural load or structural action is a mechanical load (more generally a force) applied to structural elements. [1] [2] A load causes stress, deformation, displacement or acceleration in a structure.

  8. Bearing modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_modulus

    p = bearing pressure(N/MM2) For any given bearing, there is a value for indicated by C, for which the coefficient of friction is at a minimum. The bearing should not be operated at this value of bearing modulus, since a slight decrease in speed or a slight increase in pressure will make the part of a shaft or axle that rests on bearings operate ...

  9. Foil bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_bearing

    A foil bearing, also known as a foil-air bearing, is a type of air bearing. A shaft is supported by a compliant, spring-loaded foil journal lining. Once the shaft is spinning fast enough, the working fluid (usually air ) pushes the foil away from the shaft so that no contact occurs.
