Analyzing meteorological risks to highway infrastructure in Saskatchewan by Monirul Islam, Golam Kabir, Muhammad Rehan Anis

“…However, its sustainability is increasingly challenged by meteorological hazards. This study conducts a detailed spatial risk assessment of Saskatchewan’s major highways by analyzing six climate-related factors: flood-prone areas, precipitation mm d ^−1 ), snowfall (cm d ^−1 ), extreme temperatures (minimum and maximum in °C), and wind (maximum gust speed in km h ^−1 ). …”

Dynamic Modeling and Analysis of Rolling Bearing with Compound Fault on Raceway and Rolling Element by Xin Zhang, Changfeng Yan, Yaofeng Liu, Pengfei Yan, Yubo Wang, Lixiao Wu

“…The influences of compound fault on the vibration signals of the bearing were analyzed under three conditions. With the increasing of radial load, defect size, and rotation speed, the vibration amplitude of bearing would increase correspondently, which would accelerate the failure rate of bearing and reduce the service life of bearing. …”
