Study on Lightweight of Gearbox Shell for a Heavy Commercial Vehicle by Hu Li, Tang Senquan, Yang Qiliang, Wang Bo

“…In order to achieve a heavy commercial vehicle gearbox lightweight，the gray cast iron shell is replaced by aluminum alloy shell.Firstly，the finite element model is verified by modal test.Then the dynamic loads of the five bearings of the shell are obtained by the method of multi-body dynamics，and the strain energy of the shell is obtained based on the static analysis.Then，the mathematical model of four influencing factors on the mass of plate and shell is established to determine the order of the influence of each influencing factor on the mass of plate and shell.The results show that the strength and stiffness of the lightweight shell meet the requirements.…”

CONTRIBUTION OF PETROGRAPHIC AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE KIPALA SHALE (CENTRAL BASIN, DRC) TO THE ASSESSMENT OF ITS POTENTIAL AS A HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCK by DJONIVE MUNENE ASIDI, FLEURY SIMBUNGU ANGBOKO, THOMAS KANIKA MAYENA, RUTH ILUNGA MULAJI, ANGE THIJENIRA LOKETO, FREDERIC MAKOKA MWANZA, LEVESQUE MAKUKU MBO, RACHIDI OPULUKU, JEAN IYOLO LUNGEMBO

“… A geological study of the Kipala region, in the "Cuvette Centrale" of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has identified two groups of shales: the dark greasy facies, interbedded with the brownish-gray facies. Their high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content (11 % TOC on average for the dark greasy shales, compared with 8 % for the second group) classifies them as very good hydrocarbon source rocks, according to the criteria of Epistalie et al. …”
