The valve train system of engines has long been a sensitive area with respect to wear performance because of the high contact loads and surface sliding speeds encountered. In particular, wear problems of load-carrying components in relative motion, such as cam and tappet in valve train system have made troubles. To overcome these problems, combination of proper materials is important, as well as selecting of high wear performance materials. This paper presents the experimental result of friction and wear properties of ca/tappet materials. To investigate friction and wear properties for several combinations of materials, using commonplace tribometer(Plint 77, reciprocating type), we make a selection of a optimum material combination.

This paper proposes a new scheme - parallel control scheme with feedback control (PCFC) for ABR services in ATM networks. The information from a source is split into a number of streams, for delivery over separate parallel connections with particular coding. At the receiver, the original information is reconstructed by the received packet from the parallel connections. The effects of PCFC on the network performance are due to two factors: Traffic splitting and load balancing. By combinations of analysis and simulation, this paper studies the implications of PCFC for how the ABR parameters should be scaled and the advantages of PCFC compared with other existing schemes.

Sasol Advanced Synthol Reactor was divided into two chambers by grid plate perforated with diffuser holes. The reactor has high stress level beacuse of membrane stress due to internal pressure, thermal stress due to temperature difference and local stress due to structural discontinuity at the juncture of grid plate and shell. Moreover, geometric nonlinear behaviors may appear in the grid plate because of pressure difference between two chambers. In order to survey the stress level and geometric nonlinear behaviors around grid plate, heat transfer analysis, linear static analysis and geometric nonlinear analysis were performed using NISA II developed by EMRC. This paper demonstrates the result of accessment for linear static and geometric nonlinear analysis under various load combinations.

Analysis of thermodynamic design data of double effect solar absorption heat pump system for heating has been done to find the property of Libr-water + ethylene Glycol mixture for working fluid by computer simulation. Derived thermodynamic design data. enthalpy based coefficient of performance and flow ratio for possible combinations of operating temperature for water - LiBr and Ethylene Glycol mixture (H2O: CHO ratio 10:1 by mole) by computer simulation. The obtained results, COP and mass flow ratio of the water-lithium bromide-ethylene glycol system, are compared with data for the water-Libr pair solution.

The induction motor is a high-efficiency machine when working close to its rated operation point. This paper uses a simple induction motor model that includes iron losses. The model, which only requires the knowledge of conventional induction motor parameters, is referred to a field-oriented frame. At steady-state light-load condition the minimum point of the input power can be found with the condition that it is possible to obtain the same torque with different combinations of flux and current values. Using the minimum point. the drive system with the proposed efficiency optimization controller can be controlled easily. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the control strategy proposed for an induction motor drive.

This study proposes a new method to estimate voltage unbalance more exactly using Thevenin's equivalent circuit. The conventional simple formula were easily applied to evaluate voltage unbalance. Because the formula was derived on the assumption that traction load would be directly connected to the secondary windings of the main transformer, they could not consider the detailed characteristics of traction power supply system, for example, self and mutual impedances of rail, catenary and return feeder. So, the ac쳐racy of the results could not be guaranteed. The proposed algorithm is applied to a standard autotransformer-fed test system to analyze unbalance phenomena. Through simulations, we could evaluate voltage and current unbalance factors and compare the voltage unbalance of the three transformer connection schemes : single phase, V- and Scott-connections which are required for suitable train operation schedules. Additionally, we could determine the combinations of trains which can be operated under the unbalance factor limits.

An experimental work was carried out to study the effect of hybrid fiber on the tension stiffening and cracking characteristics of geopolymer concrete (GPC). A total of 24 concentrically reinforced concrete specimens were cast and tested under uniaxial tension. The grade of concrete considered was M40. The variables mainly consist of the volume fraction of crimped steel fibers (0.5 and 1.0%) and basalt fibers (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%). The load deformation response was recorded using LVDT's. At all the stages of loading after the first cracking, crack width and crack spacing were measured. The addition of fibers in hybrid form significantly improved the tension stiffening effect. In this study, the combination of 0.5% steel fiber and 0.2% basalt fiber gave a better comparison than the other combinations.

The bending analysis of sandwich functionally graded (FG) beams under temperature circumstances is performed in this article utilizing Navier's solution-based parabolic shear deformation theory. For the first time, a comparative study has been carried out between the exponential and sigmoidal sandwich FGM beams under thermal conditions. During this investigation, temperature-dependent material characteristics are postulated. Both symmetric and unsymmetric sandwich examples have been studied. The effect of gradation law, gradation coefficient, and thickness scheme on beam behavior has been thoroughly investigated. Three possible temperature combinations at the top and bottom surfaces of the beam are also investigated. Beams with a higher proportion of ceramic to metal are shown to be more resistant to thermal stresses than beams with a higher proportion of metal.

The parity function can be implemented with XOR (exclusive-OR) and XNOR (exclusive NOR) circuit. In this paper we propose a high performance XOR-XNOR circuit. The proposed circuitreduced the internal load capacitance on critical path and implemented with 8 transistors. The circuit produces a perfect output signals for all input combinations. Compared with the previous circuits, the proposed circuit presents the improved characteristics in average propagation delay time, power dissipation, power-delay product (PDP), and energy-delay-product (EDP). The proposed circuits are implemented with standard CMOS 0.18um technology. Computer simulations using SPICE show that the proposed circuit realizes the expected logic functions and achieves a reasonable performance.

Predicting fracture properties requires an understanding of structural failure behaviour in relation to specimen type, dimension, and notch length. Facture properties are evaluated using various testing methods, wedge splitting test being one of them. The wedge splitting test was numerically modelled three dimensionally using the finite element method on self compacting concrete specimens with varied specimen and notch depths in the current work. The load - Crack mouth opening displacement curves and the angle of rotation with respect to notch opening till failure are used to assess the fracture properties. Furthermore, based on the simulation results, failure curve was built to forecast the fracture behaviour of self-compacting concrete. The fracture failure curve revealed that the failure was quasi-brittle in character, conforming to non-linear elastic properties for all specimen depth and notch depth combinations.
