Performance Analysis of Thermal and Surface Roughness Effect of Slider Bearings with Unsteady Fluid Film Lubricant Using Finite Element Method by Girma Desu Tessema, Getachew Adamu Derese, Awoke Andargie Tiruneh

“…As a result, in both longitudinal and transverse models, in the case of the pad temperature being lower than the slider, the load-carrying capacity performance is higher than in other cases for nonparallel slider bearings, whereas when the slider temperature is lower than the pad temperature, the drag frictional force is the leading one in both models. …”

Effects of Vegetation Restoration on Soil Infiltration and Runoff in the Gully Regions on the Loess Plateau by MA Xueyan, MU Xingmin, WANG Shuangyin, BAI Yungang, NIU Fangpeng

“…[Results] (1) Vegetation restoration significantly increased the values of soil infiltration characteristics and capacity, with the order of artificial forest > natural grassland > corn farmland. (2) Compared to bare ground, grassland increased the transformation of rainfall into soil storage, reduced surface runoff, and led to the appearance of multiple layers of interflow. (3) Compared to bare ground, grassland showed more rapid changes in soil moisture content, richer runoff components, and less runoff volume. (4) When the intensity of rainfall on bare ground was much greater than the infiltration capacity of the land, surface runoff would be formed rapidly, and the amount of infiltration would be small, and there was a shallow and relatively impermeable layer in naturally restored grassland, and there was a big difference between the infiltration capacity of the upper and lower soil layers, so as to form a loamy mid-stream. …”

Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation Analysis on Reinforcement of Mortise-Tenon Joints with Flat Steel Strips by Shurong Gan, Wen Pan, Hexian Su, Yucheng Jin, Chuanwei Zhu, Shibin Yu

“…By carrying out pseudo-static tests on the joints and building ABAQUS numerical model; the position where the mortise-tenon joints were to be reinforced by the steel plates was optimized for a comparative analysis into the test results on reinforced and unreinforced mortise-tenon joints and the numerically simulated bending moment-turning angle hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, energy-dissipating capacity, and rigidity degeneration curves. The results showed the following: the pulling-out phenomenon of tenons was severe, and the aseismic performance of Tou tenons was superior to Ban tenons and dovetail tenons; reinforcing the middle part of mortise-tenon joints with steel plates could effectively reduce the pulling-out amount of joints and promote the aseismic performance of mortise-tenon joints but have an insignificant promotive effect for the bearing capacity of Tou mortise-tenon joints; the aseismic performance was improved significantly after the flat steel strip reinforced position was moved to the upper and lower ends of mortise-tenon joints, with the ultimate bearing capacities being 1.5∼2.4 times that on the middle part of flat steel strip reinforced joints.…”
