2. False brinelling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_brinelling

   False brinelling. False brinelling of a bearing. False brinelling is a bearing damage caused by fretting, with or without corrosion, [1] that causes imprints that look similar to brinelling, but are caused by a different mechanism. False brinelling may occur in bearings which act under small oscillations [2] or vibrations.

3. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

   Wheel bearing rolling resistance is lowest with high axle loads and intermediate speeds of 60–80 km/h with a Crr of 0.00013 (axle load of 21 tonnes). For empty freight cars with axle loads of 5.5 tonnes, Crr goes up to 0.00020 at 60 km/h but at a low speed of 20 km/h it increases to 0.00024 and at a high speed (for freight trains) of 120 km/h ...

4. Pelorus (instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelorus_(instrument)

   In marine navigation, a pelorus is a reference tool for maintaining bearing of a vessel at sea. It is a "simplified compass" without a directive element, suitably mounted and provided with vanes to permit observation of relative bearings. [1] The instrument was named for one Pelorus, said to have been the pilot for Hannibal, circa 203 BC.

5. Bearing (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(mechanical)

   A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

6. Race (bearing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(bearing)

   In the case of ball bearings, the bearing has inner and outer races and a set of balls. Each race is a ring with a groove where the balls rest. The groove is usually shaped so the ball is a slightly loose fit in the groove. Thus, in principle, the ball contacts each race at a single point.

7. Marine navigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_navigation

   Marine navigation is the art and science of steering a ship from a starting point (sailing) to a destination, efficiently and responsibly. It is an art because of the skill that the navigator must have to avoid the dangers of navigation, and it is a science because it is based on physical, mathematical, oceanographic, cartographic, astronomical ...
