▼ Tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJB) are commonly utilized to support rotors in high-speed rotating machinery. They can provide significant load capacity, reduced drag power loss, and a stable high-speed operation. Over the years, the design of TPJBs has developed to satisfy various performance needs. However,
bearing pad high metal temperatures and drag power loss are a matter of concern to support the growing industry demand for high power capacity and efficient machines. For certain conditions involving lightly loaded
bearing and/or evacuated housing configuration, TPJBs operate with a reduced oil flow rate which may cause subsynchronous rotor vibration (SSV) hash. In the past, many investigated the influence of supplied oil flow rate on the
bearing steady-state characteristics; however, test data for the impact on its dynamic forced performance are scarce.
This thesis presents and discusses the measurements of the static and dynamic forced performance of a TPJB under load-between-pad (LBP) orientation in the floating
bearing test rig. In addition, it also discusses the influence of reduced supply oil flow rate (27% and 50% of nominal) and increased supply oil flow rate (150% of nominal) on the
bearing static and dynamic forced properties. The test
bearing has the following design characteristics: five pads, ball-in-socket (spherical) pivots, L/D = 0.4, pivot offset = 50%, clearance to radius ratio (Cᵣ/R) ≈ 0.0013, preload = 0.42, and pressurized flooded housing (with end seals). The operating test conditions include six shaft surface speeds (15-85 m/s) and seven specific loads (0.17 to 2.1 MPa). ISO VG 32 lubricates the test
bearing with speed-dependent flow rate (100% nominal flow = 3.65 to 19.45 Lit/m) and at supply temperature of 49°C.
The
bearing steady-state performance parameters include the journal static equilibrium position, attitude angle, oil temperature rise, pad temperature rise, and drag power loss. The experimental drag power loss is obtained by two methods: (1) a direct measurement of drag torque and shaft angular speed, and (2) an estimation based on the oil flow rate and the oil temperature rise at the
bearing exit plane. The dynamic forced performance parameters include rotordynamic force coefficients (stiffness, damping, and virtual-mass) obtained by a multi-frequency dynamic force excitation. Some of the test results are in a dimensionless form to characterize a general trend for TPJBs.
The direct drag power loss is lower by ≈ 20% as compared to the estimated drag power loss for most operating conditions. Interestingly, the measured drag power loss is less dependent on the supplied oil flow rate as compared to the estimated drag power loss. A reduction in oil flow rate up to 50% of nominal magnitude causes an increase in the measured shaft eccentricity, pad temperature up to 6℃ and direct stiffness coefficient up to 5%, and a decrease in measured drag power loss up to 15% and direct damping coefficient up to 7%. For a single case of operation with 27% of nominal flow rate, the pad…

▼ Cylindrical roller bearings are used in many
industrial machines newlineand automobiles because of their higher
load carrying capacity at high speed newlineconditions. In most
roller bearing applications, operating conditions are such
newlineas to ensure that the cage and roller motion are essentially
epicyclical. newlineHowever, in some situations of high speeds and
light loads, several newlineinvestigators have reported roller
bearing cage slip, in which the cage and newlineroller assembly
travel at speeds lower than that predicted from epicyclical
newlineconsiderations. In many modern roller bearing applications
such as the main newlineshaft bearings in aircraft gas turbine,
inner raceway speed is high and bearing newlineradial load may be
very light, the latter being caused only by rotor weight. In
newlinegeneral, for a given radial clearance and light or moderate
load, increasing the newlineshaft speed or the viscosity of the
oil, increases the oil film thickness between newlinethe inner ring
and the roller, causing a tangential driving force which is
newlineinversely proportional to the film thickness and tends to
decrease it. The newlineradial outward movement of the roller due
to this increase in film thickness newlineand centrifugal loading
of roller results in a larger frictional drag force newlinebetween
the roller and outer race. To reestablish equilibrium between the
drag newlineand driving tangential forces, the cage must travel
more slowly than that of its newlineepicyclical value, resulting in
cage and roller slip. In certain instances this cage and roller
slip can be tolerated, but newlinefurther deterioration in the
operating conditions can cause excessive wear of newlinethe inner
race track and rollers, and lead ultimately to the early failure of
the newlinebearing. Damage due to skidding will be an important
factor in the bearing design requirement for future bearings to
meet higher DN values.

▼ The first part of this thesis elaborates on two numerical models of different levels of comprehensiveness of a Laval rotor on plain journal bearings. These models are compared to an experiment, capable of rotating at 60 krpm, also devised in this research. Reasonable correlation in terms of whirl and whip behavior has been found. In the second part of the research a floating ring bearing model is developed. As this model is too expensive it is simplified subsequently. Next, the simplified bearing model is coupled to a rotor. The results are compared with an experiment capable of running at speeds up to 200 krpm.

▼ This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the
bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional
bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and varying water contents according to the effective stress framework. A closed-form solution has been proposed for the
bearing capacity equation that modifies the overburden, unit weight, and cohesion terms in the conventional equation. The 𝛽-method has been modified to consider suction stresses along the deep foundation and a reduction in K₀ due to tension cracking near the surface. The modified
bearing capacity equation for shallow foundations shows good agreement to load-tests performed in partially saturated soils. Monte Carlo simulations were performed on silt loams, sands, and clays to characterize variance and distribution of
bearing capacity. The results show that silts have the largest variance while clays have the smallest variance in predicted
bearing capacity.

Analysis of Force Coefficients and Dynamic Pressures for Short-Length (L/D=0.2) Open-Ends Squeeze Film Dampers.

▼ Gas turbine engine manufacturers push for increasingly simpler squeeze film damper (SFD) designs that can still provide necessary damping to suppress rotor vibrations and offer stability to rotor-
bearing systems. The work in this thesis addresses to industry needs by analyzing the experimental and predicted dynamic force performance of a very simply configured test SFD. The SFD incorporates three lubricant feedholes spaced 120° apart, a single short-length (L/D=0.2, L=2.54 cm) film land with no central feed groove, no end grooves for the provision sealing mechanisms (open-ends), and a nominal radial clearance c=0.267 mm (c/R=0.004).
Analysis of the SFD performing whirl orbits with various amplitude (r) and departing from various static eccentricity (es) endeavors to reveal the dynamic performance of SFDs to events in gas turbine engine operation such as a blade loss, or a change in eccentricity. Circular (rX=rY) whirl orbits of the SFD with amplitude r/c=0.05 to 0.71, and departing from static eccentricity, es/c=0 to 0.86 lead to identification of the squeeze film force coefficients and measurements of the dynamic film pressures over the various dynamic operating conditions. Comparisons of experimentally identified force coefficients to those predicted by a finite element orbit-based model as well as those predicted by the classical short-length open-ends SFD theory strive to evaluate the accuracy of the state-of-the-art in SFD performance prediction. Comparisons of experimental results for the current SFD (termed damper 1) against that of two SFDs with similar configurations (dampers 2 and 3) examined in prior art, advance the simplicity of SFD design by highlighting the effects of a smaller radial clearance (in damper 2) and the effects of end grooves (in damper 3) on SFD dynamic force performance.
Experimentally identified force coefficients for the current damper (#1) show moderate growth with orbit amplitude and strong nonlinear growth with static eccentricity, in particular at a largely off-centered position. Added mass coefficients for damper 1 increase with static eccentricity and, unexpectedly, with orbit amplitude. The experimentally identified SFD force coefficients for damper 1 exhibit excellent agreement with predicted force coefficients from the orbit-based model and the short-length open-ends model for whirl orbits departing from centered to slightly off-centered positions (e/c < 0.4) and with a small orbit amplitude (r/c < 0.4).
The fluid film dynamic peak-to-peak (p-p) pressures exhibit a strong growth with orbit amplitude, and a moderate growth with static eccentricity. Inconsistent increases in p-p pressure with whirl frequency demonstrate the occurrence of air ingestion for motions with a large orbit amplitude or departing from a large static eccentricity.
Comparisons of the current damper (damper 1) with damper 2 and 3 demonstrate that the damping and added mass force coefficients closely follow geometric ratios (L/c)
3 and (L
3/c), respectively, derived from the short-length open-ends…

▼ A hybrid
bearing designed for use in a next generation turbo-pump is evaluated
for the performance of initial lift-off, referred to as start-transient. The radial test rig
features a high-speed spindle motor capable of 20,000 rpm that drives a 718 Inconel rotor
attached via a high-speed coupling. The drive end is supported by ceramic ball bearings,
while the hybrid
bearing supports the opposite end. A magnetic
bearing delivers the
applied loading along the mid-span of the rotor. Many parameters, including ramp rate
[rpm/s] (drive torque), supply pressure at 15,000 rpm, magnitude of the applied load, and
load orientation, are varied to simulate different start-transient scenarios. The data are
recorded in .dat files for future evaluation of transient predictions.
Analysis of the data includes an evaluation of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic liftoff,
an assessment of rub from passing through a lightly damped critical speed, and
observation of pneumatic hammer instability. Hydrodynamic lift-off occurs when the
hydrodynamic pressure, resulting from the relative motion of two surfaces, overcomes
the forces acting on the rotor; no indication of hydrodynamic lift-off is provided.
Hydrostatic lift-off results from the external supply pressure (which for this test rig is
speed dependent) overcoming the forces acting on the rotor as determined from rotor
centerline plots. With 0.263 bar applied unit load in the vertical direction, hydrostatic
lift-off occurs at 0 rpm and 2.08 bar supply pressure. With a much higher load of 1.53
bar, hydrostatic lift-off is at 12,337 rpm and 10.7 bar supply pressure.
The required supply pressure for hydrostatic lift-off is approximately a linear
function of the applied unit load. In a turbopump, hydrostatic lift-off depends on the
speed because the supply pressure is proportional to the speed squared. With the load in the horizontal direction, hydrostatic lift-off occurs at lower speeds and pressures. The
ramp rate did not affect the required supply pressure for hydrostatic lift-off. A lower
supply pressure at 15,000 rpm lowered the required supply pressure for hydrostatic liftoff
as well as the natural frequencies creating a rub. The hydrostatic lift-off speed should
be minimized to avoid damage to the rotor/
bearing surfaces due to contact.

▼ The dynamic and static performance of a flexure-pivot tilting pad
bearing is presented at
a load between pad configuration for various load and speed combinations. A similar
work performed on the same
bearing at lower loads ranging from 0-1 MPa (0-150 psi) by
Al-Ghasem was tested, whereas the current work investigates effects in the load range
between 1-2.2 MPa (150-320 psi). The
bearing design parameters include: 4 pads with
pad arc angle 72ú and 50% pivot offset, pad axial length 0.0762 m (3 in), pad radial
clearance 0.254 mm (0.010 in),
bearing radial clearance 190.5 õm (0.0075 in), preload
0.25, and shaft nominal diameter of 0.11684 m (4.600 in). An important distinction
between the two sets of tests is the difference in experimental
bearing radial clearance,
which for this case measured 208 õm (0.00082 in), and for Al-GhasemâÂÂs was 165.1 õm
(0.0065 in). The rotordynamic coefficients are determined experimentally using a test rig
equipped with motion and load sensors. The rig is modeled using NewtonâÂÂs laws, which
is converted from the time to frequency domain using Fourier Transform to give complex
dynamic stiffnesses. From the resulting complex dynamic stiffnesses the associated real
and imaginary components are plotted as a function of excitation frequency and curve
fitted via linear regression to give the rotordynamic coefficients. The primary objectives
were to determine whether the real component of the complex dynamic stiffnesses could
be better modeled with or without the mass coefficient and to contrast the rotordynamic
coefficients with an analytical model. Only in the load range of 1 to 2.2 MPa were the
unloaded direct mass coefficients near or at 0, which would allow for a [K][C] model to
be used. The remaining real components are better represented with the mass term. The
analytical model generally overpredicted the stiffness, damping and mass coefficients,
especially for the direct components; the trends were generally consistent.

▼ This thesis compares experimental static and dynamic force characteristics for a
two-axial-groove
bearing and a pressure-dam
bearing without a relief track. The thesis
also compares experimental results to predictions from a numerical analysis. The tested
pressure-dam
bearing has s
θ= 130°, ' k =3.4~4.2, and d L
− =0.75. The test results show
that eccentricity for both bearings decreases as Sommerfeld number increases. However,
the pressure-dam
bearing maintains a minimum eccentricity of about 0.5 at high speeds.
The results also show that the attitude angle for both bearings increases as Sommerfeld
number increases. The maximum attitude angle for the axial-groove
bearing is 90° at noload.
However, the attitude angle for the pressure-dam
bearing increases above 90° at
no-load as speed increases. A dynamic test shows that the pressure-dam
bearing has
higher direct stiffness and damping at high Sommerfeld number because of the increase
in eccentricity. However, as Sommerfeld number decreases, the difference between
stiffness and damping coefficients of both bearings diminishes. The dynamic test also
shows that both bearings have significant added mass coefficients in the laminar flow
region that decrease as eccentricity increases. The estimated axial-groove
bearing whirlfrequency
ratio (WFR) from experimental results is 0.45. The WFR of the pressure-dam
bearing reduces to 0.41 at high Sommerfeld numbers. Numerical analysis shows that the
pressure-dam
bearing can have lower WFR if the dam arc length is increased to 150°.
Numerical analysis also shows that stability can be improved further by adding a relief
track. Generally, the numerical analysis under predicts the bearings’ eccentricity and
dynamic force coefficients with better agreement at low Sommerfeld numbers.

▼ This thesis focuses on the mechanical degradation of lubricating greases, including the change of thickener micro-structure and rheological properties as well as the influence of the mechanical degradation of grease on the
bearing lubricant film thickness. Grease is a multi-phase material, where the base oil is trapped within the thickener network by a combination of Van der Waals and capillary forces. Inside a
bearing, grease will act as a reservoir releasing lubricant into the contact area. During
bearing operation, mechanical degradation of the grease is observed, reflected by the change of grease consistency, grease bleed, apparent viscosity, etc. This will lead to a loss of lubricant, severe starvation and ultimately the failure of the
bearing. The thesis starts with the ageing mechanism for lubricating greases with a fibre-like thickener structure (including lithium-based, lithium-complex-based and polyurea-based greases). Under shear, grease softening is found. The change of the rheological properties of the grease shows a two-phase ageing behaviour. The degradation is initially fast but subsequently slows down. This degradation is closely related to the change of the thickener micro-structure. In addition to shear, high temperatures will accelerate the ageing process following an Arrhenius behaviour. Based on these observations, an Ageing Master Curve is constructed using an energy concept. This model is later validated using a grease worker and applied to the grease ageing process inside a rolling
bearing. As a comparison to the fibre-like thickener structure greases, the ageing of calcium sulphonate complex grease is investigated. Different from the greases mentioned above, calcium sulphonate complex grease has a particle-like thickener structure that is difficult to break under shear, hence no shear softening is observed. As a result, the Ageing Master Curve is not applicable for this type of grease. The ultimate goal of grease lubrication is to provide the
bearing contacts with a separating film. This is why the influence of grease mechanical ageing on the film thickness is studied as well. The grease film thickness deviates from the calculated elastohydrodynamic film thickness (assuming lubrication by the base oil under fully flooded conditions). The grease film thickness appears to be influenced by churning, channelling, change of grease bleed and rheological properties caused by shear and/or temperature. In addition, the thickener fragments generated by mechanical degradation also contribute to the film thickness. The results from the work described in this thesis give an important contribution to the development of rolling
bearing grease life models. These models can then be used for the calculation of maintenance intervals.

▼ This thesis presents the results of a comprehensive research study of the bearing behaviour of single or multiple bolted plates in bolt shear at ambient and elevated temperatures. A total of 18 tests were carried out to provide detailed experimental information on bearing behaviour of plates with single bolt. A series of parametric studies using the commercial finite element package ABAQUS were conducted to investigate the effects of different design parameters on the connected plate bearing behaviour, including initial stiffness, ultimate resistance and deformation at the ultimate resistance. The finite element models were verified by comparing the simulated results against the author’s tests conducted as part of this research and other researchers’ test results. Based on the parametric study results, an analytical model was proposed to predict the bearing load-deformation relationship of bolted plate in bolt shear. It was found that the stiffness and ultimate resistance could be predicted accurately by using existing methods. The main contribution of the analytical study was the development of a simple method to calculate the maximum plate deformation (bolt-hole elongation) at the ultimate resistance, based on proposed strain distributions according to different failure modes. This method has been verified against the parametric study results and has been found to be suitable for ambient and elevated temperature applications.

▼ This report was produced at the request of ABB Robotics and the work was conducted at their facilities in Västerås, Sweden. In the development of industrial robots the structures are slimmed to increase the accuracy and speed. When conducting finite element analysis on the robots the accuracy of the component modelling and definitions of the boundary conditions becomes more important. One such component is the ball bearing which consist of several parts and has a nonlinear behavior where the balls are in contact with the rings. The task given was to develop new methods to model roller bearings in Siemens finite element modelling software NX Nastran. Then conduct a strain measurement, to compare the methods to real experimental values. The goal with the report is to find one or more methods to model roller bearings, with accurate results, that can beused in their development work. The report was conducted by first doing a study on bearings and finite element modeling, and learning to use the software NX Nastran. Then the development of the methods were done by generating ideas for bearing models and testing them on simple structures. Nine methods was produced and a tenth, the method used to model bearings today, was used as a reference. The methods was used to build bearing models in a finite element model of a six axis robot wrist. Simulations were done on the models with different load cases and the results were compared to a strain measurement of the wrists real counterpart. Only six of the models were analyzed in the result, since four of the models returned results that were deemed unusable. When compiling the result data no model was found to accurately recreate the stresses in every load case. Three methods, that allow deformation, performed similarly. One of them is suggested to be used as modelling method in the future. Worst of the methods, according to the results compiled, was found to be the method used today. It fails to describe local stresses around the bearing. For continued work it is suggested that linear contact elements is studied further. Four out of five models constructed with linear contact elements failed to return satisfactory results.

▼ Structural bearings in bridges are subjected to loads and movements, causing wear of bearing components as PTFE-sheets, guides and internal seals. Nowadays, these components are tested for durability according to EN 1337. The parameters and procedures in these tests are questioned and, therefore, investigated in an existing plate-girder bridge in the Netherlands. This thesis provides the results and is part of a larger research in which, among other things, other bridges are studied.

▼ In this research thesis, a new method for accelerated lifetime testing (ALT) of high-speed bearings is discussed. The rapid development of products, and the longer lifespan of bearings on high-speed applications, have generated demand for the accelerated testing method.A new method is explained for ALT of the bearings. The life of the bearings is reduced by producing higher external force on them. This external force is produced as a result of the gyroscopic couple on a newly developed test bench.This research paper describes various tests for the validation of the new method of ALT of bearings. Furthermore, experiments are discussed for monitoring the health status of bearings by analysing the electrical current of the Brushless Direct Current motor that is running the bearings in the product.

▼ This thesis investigates vibration based machine condition monitoring and consists of two parts:
bearing fault diagnosis and gear wear monitoring.In the first part, a signal processing method to diagnose localised
bearing faults in the presence of periodic impulsive noise has been developed and tested on signals measured from two rigs. The method developed for
bearing diagnosis aims at selecting suitable frequency bands that exclude those impulsive noises and retain the feature of impulsiveness of
bearing fault signals. This is realised by using a parameter considering the energy and energy distribution of envelope signals in the frequency domain, and its efficiency is demonstrated by comparison with the Fast Kurtogram and Protrugram. The second part presents a newly developed vibration indicator for the monitoring of gear wear. Even though gear vibrations are closely related with tooth wear, a vibration based wear monitoring method has not been well established. In this work, an averaged logarithmic ratio (ALR) is calculated from time synchronous averaged gear signals to evaluate the effects of tooth wear on gear transmissions. The indicator ALR, calculated with a fixed reference, can be used as a wear severity index, while an alternative version of the indicator, mALR, is calculated with a moving reference and can be used to show the evolution of gear transmission features. In addition, these indicators can also be used as a general parameter for gearbox condition monitoring.Based on the proposed vibration indicators, a framework is established to integrate vibration and wear particle analysis for gear condition monitoring. In the framework, the proposed vibration indicators are first used for fault detection and classification. The faults are then categorised into two groups, structure- and wear-related faults, which dictates how the analysis methods are applied and ensures that wear particle analysis is only used when strictly required. The feasibility and efficiency of this framework are demonstrated by application to three laboratory gear tests, with promising results.

▼ Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women after breast cancer, in Namibia. Human Papilloma Virus is the significant cause of cervical cancer prevalence worldwide with an estimation of 99.7%. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predict that Cervical cancer will kill >443,000 women worldwide every year by 2030, nearly 90% of them in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nevertheless, cervical cancer is potentially preventable through HPV vaccination, early diagnosis of pre-invasive cancer cells and early diagnosis of proven cases of cervical cancer neoplasia. Cervical cancer screening and early treatment of pre-invasive cervical cancer remain the most effective ways to reduce cervical cancer mortalities. A significant number of women in Oshana region do not utilize the cervical cancer screening services despite a well-established free cervical cancer screening programme in the region .This study examined factors associated with cervical cancer screening and determined associations between cervical cancer screening and identified factors.
An unmatched 1:1 case control study was conducted on 207 cases and 207 controls. A case was defined as any woman aged 15-49 years, seeking services at Intermediate Hospital Oshakati ante-natal clinic during the study period, and never had cervical cancer screening in her life time. A control was any woman aged 15-49 years, seeking services at Intermediate Hospital Oshakati ante-natal clinic during the study period, had cervical cancer screening in her life time. Data were collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire between
September and October 2017. Data were analysed with Epi-info 7.2. Bivariate analysis was conducted to determine the odds ratio at 95% CI. Factors which were significant at p-value <0.05 were retained in the multiple logistic regression analysis model. Cases were significantly younger than controls (AOR= 3.10, 95% CI: 1.41 - 9.23, P-value=0.001). Increased parity was found to be an important determinant for being screened for cervical cancer (AOR= 4.50, 95% CI: 2.25-9.02, P-v= 0.001). The multivariate analysis found
that, fear screening will reveal cervical cancer (AOR= 0.54, 95% CI:0.34 - 0.85, P-v= 0.008), fear of pain from the procedure (AOR= 0.23,95% CI:0.15 - 0.64 P-v= 0.001), lack of signs and symptoms of the disease (AOR= 0.41, 95% CI:0.26 - 0.64, P-v= 0.001) and low perceived risk of the disease (AOR= 0.54, 95% CI: 0.34 - 0.85, P-v= 0.007) were most significantly associated with cervical cancer screening. Identified factors may serve as targets for cervical cancer screening health education interventions by health care health workers. There is need to develop targeted interventions
which will promote utilization of cervical cancer screening inclusive of young women.

▼ This thesis explores the notion of testimony as a theological concept. The task of this thesis is twofold: first, to analyze several exemplary instances of appropriating philosophical resources in the construction of the concept of testimony in biblical and theological writings, and to consider the aptness of these attempts in terms of the effects they produce when recounting the event of Jesus’ resurrection; second, using the dogmatic and systematic ideas of Karl Barth and Wolfhart Pannenberg, to explore the possible conceptual structure and substance apposite to a theological understanding of testimony. Accordingly, the argument put forward in this thesis is twofold. First, philosophies of witness tend to establish the existence of witness around the natural human capacity of memory, imagination and reflection. Divine agency in the constitution and continuous operation of witness is consistently missing from these models. Their infiltration into biblical studies and theology has resulted in a failure to generate a stable and perspicuous theological meaning of Jesus’ resurrection, and has brought about a circumvention of the event’s historicity. Second, Barth’s theological construal of testimony, in contrast to Pannenberg and the philosophical models sampled in this study, lays stress on the self-witness of the triune God as the ontological ground of human testimony. This ontology is repeatedly underscored by Barth as he explicates the reality, history and transmission of Christian witness. A theological understanding of Christian witness must begin with the selftestimony and agency of God, in contrast to an understanding that pitches testimony as an independent species of epistemology.

▼ Seismic isolation is a technique used to shift the fundamental period of a structure to a long range period which reduces the forces a structure attracts during a seismic event. Two, widely used bearings in seismic base isolation of structures are elastomeric and lead rubber bearings. A typical elastomeric
bearing consists of a number of layers of rubber alternated with steel shims bonded between two rubber layers. The addition of a lead core inserted in a central mandrel hole results in a lead rubber
bearing (LRB). The lead enhances the bearings energy dissipating in an earthquake event. When elastomeric or LRBs are simultaneously subjected to vertical compressive load and increasing lateral displacement, the shear force equilibrium path can exhibit a critical point, beyond which the
bearing exhibits negative stiffness. Semi-empirical models to simulate this behavior for elastomeric and LRB have been developed in the past. These models rely on experimentally calibrated parameters, making them impractical for design. Recently, a particular mechanics based model, developed for an elastomeric
bearing only, approaches the modelling using vertical springs and a simple bi-linear constitutive relationship to represent the rotational behavior of an elastomeric
bearing. Overarching goal of the present study is to build on the mechanics based elastomeric model to develop a LRB model. The elastomeric model is modified to include hysteretic behavior of LRB and also uses a Newton type numerical solution technique to solve for response of the
bearing. The model, proposed in this study, utilizing vertical springs approach has shown to be capable of simulating the strength, stiffness and hysteretic behavior of LRB well.

▼ I detta examensarbete undersöks möjligheten att kunna använda en positioneringsmetod som inte enbart förlitar sig på den uppmätta signalstyrkan. Istället används en metod som bestämmer från vilken vinkel en signal uppkommer ifrån. Den här tekniken kallas för direction-finding. När informationen om signalens vinkel fastställts används den i ett positioningsfilter som uppskattar positionen. Två tillvägagångssätt har använts i den här rapporten, ett där enbart vinkeln används och ett där både signalstyrka och vinkel används.

▼ Bearing-bypass behaviour for composites is different than for metals and therefore this behaviour needs to be re-evaluated. This thesis work aims to provide an initial test set-up to map the
bearing- and bypass behaviour in Fibre Metal Laminate mechanical joints, to develop a simple method which can be used by engineers for joint design. This initial test set-up was designed using four different lap joint configurations that were tested using a tensile machine. Digital Image Correlation was used to monitor the strains during testing. Results for 2%
bearing yield and for final failure were reported in a
bearing-bypass diagram for GLARE-2A and GLARE-3. They show an influence of
bearing stress on the bypass strength. Also, the difference for both GLARE grades is visible. The used joint configurations did not give all the desired output. It is advised to use different dimensions for the configurations in future testing to improve accuracy of test results.

▼ Hydrodynamic journal bearings are applied in a wide range of both old and new, advanced
rotating machinery designs. To maintain existing machinery, as well as to design new, state of the
art machines, validated analytical models for these bearings are needed. This work documents the
development and evaluation of an automated test rig for the evaluation of hydrodynamic journal
bearings to provide some of the needed experimental data. This work describes the test rig in
detail, including the results of experimental characterization of many of the test rig subsystems.
Experimental data for a two axial groove
bearing and a pressure dam
bearing under steady load
conditions are presented for a range of loads at two different shaft speeds. Experimental data and
analytical results for dynamic loading are also discussed. The work concludes with a summary of
the state of the test rig and recommendations for further work.

(more)
▼ Three flexure pivot pad bearings (FPBs) with different preloads are evaluated for
use in high performance applications by comparing them to a hybrid hydrostatic
bearing
(HHB). One application of these bearings is in turbopumps for liquid rocket engines.
To evaluate
bearing performance, the lift-off speed of the shaft from the
bearing surface
is experimentally determined. Experimental data of lift-off are collected using a circuit
running through the shaft and the designed
bearing. Other methods for measuring liftoff
speeds were attempted but did not yield consistent results. Water is used as a
lubricant to simulate a low viscosity medium.
In comparison to load-capacity-based predictions for FPBs, the experimental
results showed lower lift-off speeds, higher load capacities, higher eccentricity ratios,
and lower attitude angles. The bearings’ predicted load capacity determined lift-off
speed predictions, but the experimental results show no clear trend relating lift-off speed
to load capacity. This was for a range of running speeds, with the design speed defined
as the final speed in a particular test case.
At 0.689 bar supply pressure and for a design speed of 3000 rpm, the HHB
showed greater load capacities and lower eccentricities than the FPBs, but the FPBs had
lower lift-off speeds and attitude angles. In fact, the FPBs in the load-between-pad
orientation outperformed the HHB in the load-on-pocket orientation with lower lift-off
speeds for the shaft weight-only case. An increased supply pressure lowered the lift-off
speeds in the HHB tests. If the load in the
bearing application remains relatively small, a
FPB could be substituted for an HHB.

▼ Gas bearings in oil-free micro-turbomachinery for process gas applications and for power generation (< 400 kW) must offer adequate load capacity and thermal stability, reliable rotordynamic performance at high speeds and temperatures, low power losses and minimal maintenance costs. The metal mesh foil
bearing (MMFB) is a promising foil
bearing technology offering inexpensive manufacturing cost, large inherent material energy dissipation mechanism, and custom-tailored stiffness and damping properties. This dissertation presents predictions and measurements of the dynamic forced performance of various high speed and high temperature MMFBs.
MMFB forced performance depends mainly on its elastic support structure, consisting of arcuate metal mesh pads and a smooth top foil. The analysis models the top foil as a 2D finite element (FE) shell supported uniformly by a metal mesh under-layer. The solution of the structural FE model coupled with a gas film model, governed by the Reynolds equation, delivers the pressure distribution over the top foil and thus the load reaction. A perturbation analysis further renders the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients for the
bearing. The static and dynamic performance predictions are validated against limited published experimental data.
A one-to-one comparison of the static and dynamic forced performance characteristics of a MMFB against a Generation I bump foil
bearing (BFB) of similar size, with a slenderness ratio L/D=1.04, showcases the comparative performance of MMFB against a commercially available gas foil
bearing design. The measurements of rotor lift-off speed and drag friction at start-up and airborne conditions are conducted for rotor speeds up to 70 krpm and under identical specific loads (W/LD =0.06 to 0.26 bar). The dynamic force coefficients of the bearings are estimated, in a ‘floating bearing’ type test rig, while floating atop a journal spinning to speeds as high as 50 krpm and with controlled static loads (22 N) applied in the vertical direction. The parameter identification is conducted in the frequency range of 200-400 Hz first, and then up to 600 Hz using higher load capacity shakers.
A finite element rotordynamic program (XLTRC2) models a hollow rotor and two MMFBs supporting it and predict the synchronous rotor response for known imbalances. The predictions agree well with the ambient temperature rotor response measurements. Extensive rotor response measurements and rotor and
bearing temperature measurements, with a coil heater warming up to 200 ºC and placed inside the hollow rotor, reveal the importance of adequate thermal management.
The database of high speed high temperature performance measurements and the development of a predictive tool will aid in the design and deployment of MMFBs in commercial high-speed turbomachinery. The work presented in the dissertation is a cornerstone for future analytical developments and further testing of practical MMFBs.

▼ The failure of rolling element bearings is one of the foremost causes of breakdown in rotary machinery. So far, a variety of vibration-based techniques have been developed to monitor the condition of bearings; however, the role of vibration behavior is rarely considered in the proposed techniques.
This thesis presents an analytical study of a healthy rotor-bearing system to gain an understanding of the different categories of bearing vibration. In this study, a two degree-of-freedom model is employed, where the contacts between the rolling elements and races are considered to be nonlinear springs. The analytical investigations confirm that the nature of the inner ring oscillation depends on the internal clearance. A fault-free bearing with a small backlash exhibits periodic behavior; however, bearings categorized as having normal clearance oscillate chaotically. The results from the numerical simulations agree with those from the experiments confirming bearing’s chaotic response at various rotational speeds.
Bearing faults generate periodic impacts which affect the chaotic behavior. This effect manifests itself in the phase plane, Poincare map, and chaotic quantifiers such as the Lyapunov exponent, correlation dimension, and information entropy. These quantifiers serve as useful indices for detecting bearing defects. To compare the sensitivity and robustness of chaotic indices with those of well-accepted fault detection techniques, a comprehensive investigation is conducted. The test results demonstrate that the Correlation Dimension (CD), Normalized Information Entropy (NIE), and a proposed time-frequency index, the Maximum Approximate Coefficient of Wavelet transform (MACW), are the most reliable fault indicators.
A neuro-fuzzy diagnosis system is then developed, where the strength of the aforementioned indices are integrated to provide a more robust assessment of a bearing’s health condition. Moreover, a prognosis scheme, based on the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), in combination with a set of logical rules, is proposed for estimating the next state of a bearing’s condition. Experimental results confirm the viability of forecasting health condition under different speeds and loads.

▼ Machines operating in dusty environments, such as mining and civil works, are prone to premature failure, leading to production losses. To address this problem, this research project examines the interaction between solid contaminants and the bearing micro-geometry, in lubricated surface contacts. In particular, it seeks to identify anti-wear additives that are effective in reducing wear under abrasive conditions, making machine elements more dirt tolerant.
In general, the influence of antiwear additive is so small that it is difficult to isolate it. Manufactures often make claims about their antiwear products, which are difficult to verify. Hence, there is a need to characterising the antiwear additives available with a well-defined parameter, making it easier for consumers to compare the efficacy of various additives, and be able to select the most suitable additive for a given environment.
Effect of micro-geometry parameters such as radial clearance, out-of-roughness and surface roughness was examined and a Film Shape Factor (FSF) – also termed gamma ratio – has been proposed for ensuring adequate separation of journal bearings operating in hydrodynamic lubrication regime, where the out-of-roundness values are higher than the surface roughness values.
In this research, an experimental study has been conducted on journal bearings, to examine the influence of five antiwear additives on the bearing wear and micro-geometry. The test additives were provided by the industry partner without revealing their chemical identity or composition; however, these included some of the most commonly used antiwear additives. The tests were performed under three conditions: pure base oil, base oil containing contaminants, and base oil containing contaminants treated with five different additives.
The experiments were aimed at choosing one wear measuring technique that evaluates the performance of an individual additive reliably, and based on this technique the additives were characterised. To achieve these objectives, a multi-wear parameter approach (MWPA) was developed, which employed three main wear measurement methodologies, i.e. weight loss, micro-geometry and particle counts –to examine the effect of the antiwear additives. Minimum oil film thickness was also measured to study the lubrication status in the bearing contacts. The MWPA helped in comparing different wear measuring methods, and in selecting the most reliable one. This approach also helped in developing short duration wear tests, thereby saving time, while still getting reliable results without repeating these.
Wear experiments were performed on seven sets of bronze bearings and steel sleeve shafts. The test contaminant was 16 micron Aluminium oxide Al2O3 powder mixed in oil with 4% concentration by weight. These solid contaminants were treated with five different antiwear additives to study their influence on the bearings. Bearings were operated such that the minimum oil film thickness in the bearing was equal to the size of the contaminants. These tests…

▼ Since the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy came into power in Zambia, women's health concerns have been discussed in many fora and they are yet to evolve into key policy issues. One of the issues in vogue relates to pregnancy and labour and child birth and it is believed that husbands have a cardinal role to play in supporting their spouses throughout pregnancy and during labour. The purpose of the study was to explore the husbands' and wives' perspectives on provision of support during pregnancy and labour in order to encourage their participation with the view of improving maternal health. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out in Mufulira District. A purposive sample of 34 married expectant mothers aged 20 to 50 years participated in four focus group discussions. The focus group discussions were conducted at clinic 1 and clinic 3 in Kantashi Township. A probability sample of 385 married men aged 20 to 54 years who participated were selected using systematic sampling from the six randomly selected residential areas in Kantashi Township. The men were interviewed face to face interview using questionnaire. The qualitative data was collected by focus group discussions between 2 May 2007 and 6* June 2007. The four focus group discussions were recorded on a tape recorder. The field notes and transcribed interviews were written and divided into subheadings and themes. This was then deposited into appropriate categories of research issues. The information was used to formulate a standardised structure questionnaire for the husbands.Quantitative data was collected using the standardised structure questionnaire through face to face interviews. Trained research assistants were used. Pilot test was done in the third week of June 2007. Data was collected from first week of August to first week of October 2007. Data from the field was cleaned and analysed using computer soft ware SPSS versions 11.0. The main findings of the study were: the expectant women reported that they want their husbands to be present at home more often, to have more time to laugh together and prepare for the baby together and also to help with some house work. They also shared that they would want to have financial support that would help them have enough food and meet the stipulated requirements at the health centres. Most women reported that they would want their husbands to be present during labour, however; they had reservations on the husband being present during childbirth. The husbands on the other hand reported that they always frequently (69.6%) take time to attend to the daily needs of their wives at home. The supportive behaviours that husbands exhibited were being faithful to their wives (97.1%), maintaining their wives morale (96.6%) and emphasizing behaviour according to professional advice given at the clinic by health care professionals (97.1%). However, the supportive behaviour that was least provided was helping with house work (28.6%)). The men reported that they were doing more for their wives at home (98.7%)). The…

▼ Partial weight bearing promotes bone formation during fracture rehabilitation and can result in a faster recovery period. However, prescribed partial weight bearing load levels are often exceeded, which can lead to disjunction. On the other hand, persistent under loading can delay healing. The effects of real-time feedback on a subject's ability to partially weight bear within a target load range is investigated in this experiment. Ten healthy subjects recruited from the University of Utah were trained to partially weight bear 25% of their body weight on one leg. The subjects were shown how to perform 3-point gait on crutches and allowed time to become accustomed with walking on crutches. Subjects were instructed to partially weight bear within a target range of 20-30% of their body weight. Five subjects (Group 1) walked 50 steps without feedback, followed by 50 steps with real-time feedback. The other five subjects (Group 2) walked 50 steps with feedback, followed by 50 steps without feedback. In both groups, the subjects' ability to partially weight bear improved when receiving real-time feedback. The average maximum loads with and without feedback were 24.87 � 2.9 lbs. and 30.03 � 11.5 lbs., respectively. The number of steps within the target load range of 20-30% were counted for each subject. A one-way ANOVA performed on the number of acceptable steps (within 20-30% body weight) of the four test conditions (Group 1/Group 2 and Feedback/No feedback) found the F-ratio = 4.54 and F-crit(3,16) = 2.46, resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis that all four population means were equal. A paired t-test performed on Group 1, pairing the number of acceptable steps without feedback with the number of acceptable steps with feedback, showed a significant statistical difference between the steps with and without feedback (P=0.0165). This indicates feedback significantly affected the subject's ability to partially weight bear within the target load range. A paired t-test was also performed on Group 2; the test showed no significant statistical difference (P=0.0958). This indicates learning occurred during the 50 steps when feedback was present, improving the subject's ability to weight bear without feedback for the next 50 steps. Future work include utilizing the experimental data to power a larger study. Also, many methods of providing real-time feedback to patients are possible and the efficacy of each should be explored. For this study, visual representation of the current load was used as the method of providing feedback. However, other forms of feedback may lead to better patient outcomes and compliance.

▼ Model parameter estimation when coupled with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Bayesian classification techniques form a potentially effective fault detection scheme for Electromechanical Actuators (EMAs). This work uses parameter estimation algorithms based on linear system identification methods, derives a novel feature extraction algorithm based on PCA and analyzes its performance through simulations and experiments. A Bayesian classifier is used to create well defined EMA health classes from the extracted features.
Research contributions on fault detection in EMAs are significant because EMA faults and their detection are not yet well understood. Potential future applications - such as in primary flight control actuation in aircraft - require that quality fault detection systems be in place. Therefore, fault detection of EMAs is a vast area of ongoing research where highly capable solutions are gradually becoming available. Prior work in parameter estimation methods for feature extraction in DC motor drives - which includes EMAs - are amongst those available. While PCA is a popular feature extraction solution in a number of frequency-based fault detection approaches, the use of PCA for feature extraction from model parameters for detecting
bearing faults in EMAs has not been previously reported.
In this work, a linear difference model is applied to the EMA system data such that fault information is distributed amongst the estimated model parameters. A direct comparison of the parameter estimates from healthy and degraded systems offers little insight into health conditions because of the weak effects of faults on the signal data. However, the application of PCA to uncorrelate the linearly correlated model parameters while minimizing the loss of variance information from the data effectively brings out fault information. The present algorithm is successfully applied to data collected from a Moog MaxForce EMA. The results are consistent and display effective fault detection characteristics, making the developed approach a suitable starting point for future work.

▼ Condition monitoring reduces maintenance costs on industrial machinery by reducing downtime and allowing for need-based maintenance instead of schedule-based maintenance. Currently, condition monitoring is not as widely applied on reciprocating compressors as compared to rotating compressors. However, research for monitoring various components of reciprocating compressors such as inlet and outlet valves and piston rings is conducted. There is industry interest into expanding this research to the main bearings of the compressor. Previous research on bearings focuses on either rolling element bearings or traditional journal bearings with not much information available on low speed applications of fully floating ring journal bearings as are studied in this work. The following work shows a detailed derivation of the forces acting on the main bearings during normal compressor operation based on kinematic relations and dynamic equivalence. The
bearing is simulated using an adaptation of the mobility method for fully floating ring bearings found in previous research. It involves solving two simultaneous mobility calculations along with the ring speed to link the inner to the outer
bearing. Experimental data of the crankshaft orbit is collected for comparison to the simulation. Condition monitoring for three different fault types is investigated through seeded fault testing: Varying lubricant viscosity, oil feed hole obstruction, and grooves in the
bearing land. Principle component analysis has been shown previously to be a successful method of feature selection for classification. This is applied to several sensors and the classification results are compared. A single axis position measurement of the crankshaft shows the most promising results compared to a traditional accelerometer on the
bearing housing and a novel accelerometer on the crankshaft. The single axis measurement provides a cost efficient alternative method to the two axis orbit measurement typically used for traditional journal bearings.

▼ In order to produce crack free metal powder compacts, the critical region of failure should be detected, so that the particular region can be strengthened during the compaction process. The finite element method, through the use of an appropriate constitutive model of the powder medium, has recently been used as an efficient design tool. The accuracy of this method highly depends on the faithfulness of the constitutive model and the quality of the material parameter set. Furthermore, in order for the simulation results to be reliable, they should be experimentally validated on real parts featuring density variations. Hence, the main concerns are the development of a standard calibration procedure for the cap material model as well as the development of a reliable technique for the experimental validation of the powder compaction simulation results. A FC-0208 automotive main
bearing cap was compacted to investigate the microstructure changes at different locations within the parts. Measurements of the pore volume fraction, pore size, pore nearest neighbor, pore aspect ratio, and grain size were performed after compaction and sintering for the MBC. A finite element model for the compaction and monotonic performance of the
bearing cap was developed to study the density distribution and the performance of the
bearing cap during monotonic loading respectively. The image analysis methodology and monotonic load testing was created to measure density in the main
bearing cap and to predict the critical location of failure respectively, and to validate the finite element model results. A comparison between the experiment and model for determining the performance of the
bearing cap was carried out such that the model predicts the damage state during loading of the
