Advancements and Challenges in Active Magnetic Bearings: A Comprehensive Review of Performance, Control, and Future Prospects by Debarghya Dutta, Pabitra Kumar Biswas, Sukanta Debnath, Furkan Ahmad

“…The paper highlights the advantages of AMBs as frictionless bearings that utilize magnetic force to support the rotor, resulting in reduced wear, lower losses, and extended lifespan compared to classical ball bearings. AMBs are particularly well-suited for high-speed applications and demonstrate compatibility with both clean environments, such as renewable energy sectors, and challenging conditions like extreme pressures, temperatures, and harsh environments. …”

Research on the confinement mechanism and calculation method of axial load-bearing capacity of steel-reinforced concrete-filled square steel tubular columns by Cong Peng, Deprizon Syamsunur, Taha Mohammed Jassam, Zhiming Zhang

“…Therefore, based on the confinement mechanisms of square steel tubes and steel reinforcements on concrete, this paper calculates the effective lateral confining stress to determine the strength enhancement factors for concrete in various confined regions. Drawing from the classical Mander model, the key parameters are modified to establish stress–strain models for concrete in different confined regions. …”

Back Analysis of Rock Hydraulic Fracturing by Coupling Numerical Model and Computational Intelligent Technology by Shaojun Li, Hongbo Zhao, Xiating Feng, Quan Jiang, Qiancheng Sun

“…The in situ stress is determined using the proposed method and the results are compared with those of the classic breakdown formula. The proposed method provides a good estimate of the relationship between the in situ stress and borehole pressure and predicts the maximum horizontal in situ stress with high precision while considering the influence of pore pressure without the need to estimate Biot’s coefficient and other parameters.…”
