Contact Stress Analysis of Traction Drives of a New Type Bearing Reducer by Shu Hongyu, Zhao Liang, Yu Yijie

“…An arc is constructed at the end of the planetary wheel profile shaft of the planetary traction drive, and the contact point between the arc and the outer ring and the end face of the solar wheel shaft is kept on the radial traction contact line. A new type of a more compact bearing reducer is designed by replacing thrust bearings cleverly. …”

Incremental cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm with n-out-of-K fusion rule by Xiao-ge ZHANG, Shi-bing ZHANG, Gong-an QIU

“…The algorithm divided the total relays into two subsections.The front subsection included N number of relays,and the later one included K−N number of relays.Firstly,the front N relays sensed the spectrum.If no more than m_L number of relays had detected the existing of the primary user,the global detection was that the spectrum holes existed.If more than m_H number of relays had detected the existing of the primary user,the global detection was that no spectrum holes existed.Otherwise,the later K−N number of relays continued to sense the spectrum.The global detection was that the spectrum holes existed only when there were totally over n number of relays having detected the existing of the primary user in the two sensing stages.The object function was built for minimizing the time-slot consumption by adjusting the parameters m_L,m_H and N with the limit of detection probability and false probability.Simulation results show that the proposed incremental cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm has much lower time-slot consumption than the traditional one by properly setting the parameters with high sensing performance kept.…”

Axial Vibration Confinement in Nonhomogenous Rods by S. Choura, S. EL-Borgi, A.H. Nayfeh

“…It is also shown that vibration confinement can be produced if the rod density and/or stiffness are varied with respect to the space variable while the cross-section area is kept constant. Several case studies, supporting the developed conditions imposed on the spatially dependent functions for vibration confinement in vibrating rods, are discussed. …”
