Research on the Influence of Raceway Waviness on the Vibration Characteristics of Deep Groove Ball Bearings

The dynamics model of a 2-degree-of-freedom deep groove ball bearing is established by incorporating the raceway surface waviness model comprising multiple sinusoidal functions superposition.The model is solved using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to obtain the vibration characteristics including displacement,velocity,acceleration,and frequency of the bearing.Validation of the model is accomplished through comparison with theoretical vibration frequencies.The influence of the amplitude of waviness of the inner and outer ring raceway surfaces of deep groove ball bearings on the vibration displacement,peak-to-peak vibration displacement and root-mean-square vibration acceleration is analyzed,and the results show that as the amplitude of the inner and outer ring raceway surfaces waviness increases,all the vibration characteristic indexes increase,indicating that the vibration amplitude of the bearings as well as the energy of the waviness-induced shock waveforms increase with the increase of the amplitude of the waviness.

Deep-subwavelength single grooves prepared by femtosecond laser direct writing on Si

It is well known that femtosecond laser pulses can easily spontaneously induce deep-subwavelength periodic surface structures on transparent dielectrics but not on non-transparent semiconductors.Nevertheless,in this study,we demonstrate that using high-numerical-aperture 800 nm femtosecond laser direct writing with controlled pulse energy and scanning speed in the near-damage-threshold regime,polarization-dependent deep-subwavelength single grooves with linewidths of~180 nm can be controllably prepared on Si.Generally,the single-groove linewidth increases slightly with increase in the pulse energy and decrease in the scanning speed,whereas the single-groove depth significantly increases from~300 nm to~600 nm with decrease in the scanning speed,or even to over 1μm with multi-processing,indicating the characteristics of transverse clamping and longitudinal growth of such deep-subwavelength single grooves.Energy dispersive spectroscopy composition analysis of the near-groove region confirms that single-groove formation tends to be an ultrafast,non-thermal ablation process,and the oxidized deposits near the grooves are easy to clean up.Furthermore,the results,showing both the strong dependence of groove orientation on laser polarization and the occurrence of double-groove structures due to the interference of pre-formed orthogonal grooves,indicate that the extraordinary field enhancement of strong polarization sensitivity in the deep-subwavelength groove plays an important role in single-groove growth with high stability and collimation.

Liver surface depressions in the presence of diaphragmatic muscular bands on trans-illumination

Traditional descriptions of liver anatomy refer to a smooth,convex surface contacting the diaphragm.Surface depressions are recognized anatomic variants.There are many theories to explain the cause of the depressions.We discuss the theory that these are caused by hypertrophic muscular bands in the diaphragm.

Application of Grooved Negative Pressure Drainage Tube in Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures

Objective: To explore the application value of disposable grooved negative pressure drainage tubes in rib fracture incision and internal fixation. Methods: Seventy-five patients admitted to our Department of Trauma Surgery from June 2022 to April 2024 who underwent rib fracture osteotomy and internal fixation were selected. According to the types of drainage tubes left in the patients after the operation, they were divided into the observation group (35 cases who were left with disposable grooved negative pressure drainage tubes) and the control group (40 cases who were left with closed silicone thoracic drainage tubes). Comparison of chest drainage, pain, postoperative complications, secondary chest penetration rate, drain placement time, hospitalization time, and treatment costs were compared between the two groups. Results: The total postoperative chest drainage volume of the observation group was less than that of the control group (P < 0.05);the degree of pain, the incidence of postoperative complications, and the rate of secondary chest puncture in the observation group were lower than that of the control group three days after the operation (P < 0.05);and the time of drain placement in the observation group was shorter than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of disposable grooved negative pressure drainage tubes in rib fracture incision and internal fixation can significantly improve patients’ postoperative pain and discomfort, reduce complications, lower the rate of secondary chest penetration, promote patients’ postoperative recovery, decrease the amount of postoperative chest drainage, and shorten the time of drain placement, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Duodenojejunostomy treatment of groove pancreatitis-induced stenosis and obstruction of the horizontal duodenum:A case report

BACKGROUND Groove pancreatitis(GP)is a rare condition affecting the pancreatic groove region within the dorsal-cranial part of the pancreatic head,duodenum,and common bile duct.As a rare form of chronic pancreatitis,GP poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians.GP is frequently misdiagnosed or not considered;thus,the diagnosis is often delayed by weeks or months.The treatment of GP is complicated and often requires surgical intervention,especially pancreatoduodenectomy.CASE SUMMARY A 66-year-old man with a history of long-term drinking was admitted to the gastroenterology department of our hospital,complaining of vomiting and acid reflux.Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed luminal stenosis in the descending part of the duodenum.Abdominal computed tomography showed slight exudation in the descending and horizontal parts of the duodenum with broadening of the groove region,indicating local pancreatitis.The symptoms of intestinal obstruction were not relieved with conservative therapy,and insertion of an enteral feeding tube was not successful.Exploratory laparoscopy was performed and revealed a hard mass with scarring in the horizontal part of the duodenum and stenosis.Intraoperative frozen section analysis showed no evidence of malignancy,and side-to-side duodenojejunostomy was performed.Routine pathologic examination showed massive proliferation of fibrous tissue,hyaline change,and the proliferation of spindle cells.Based on the radiologic and pathologic characteristics,a diagnosis of GP was made.The patient presented with anastomotic obstruction postoperatively and took a long time to recover,requiring supportive therapy.CONCLUSION GP often involves the descending and horizontal parts of the duodenum and causes duodenal stenosis,impaired duodenal motility,and gastric emptying due to fibrosis.

Intentional replantation combined root resection therapy for the treatment of typeⅢradicular groove with two roots:A case report

BACKGROUND A radicular groove is an anatomic malformation that usually initiates at the central fossa,extending along the root at varying lengths and depths and predisposes the involved tooth to a severe periodontal defect.Severe grooves that extend to the root apex often lead to complex combined periodontal-endodontic lesions.They are a serious challenge for doctors to diagnose and treat.CASE SUMMARY In this report,we described a patient with a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove with two roots,which led to complex combined periodontal-endodontic lesions.Suggested treatment modalities included curettage of the affected tissues,elimination of the groove by grinding and/or sealing with a variety of filling materials,and surgical procedures.In this case,a combination of endodontic therapy,intentional replantation,and root resection were used,which resulted in periodontal/periradicular healing after 12 mo.CONCLUSION Intentional replantation and root resection offer a predictable procedure and should be considered a viable treatment modality for the management of palatogingival grooves,especially for two-rooted teeth.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF MILLING TEMPERATURE AND TEMPERATURE FIELD ANALYSIS FOR THREE-DIMEN-SIONAL COMPLEX GROOVE MILLING INSERT

The mathematical model on the temperature of the waved-edge is constructedaccording to Jaeger's theory of moving solid and based on the used temperature model of the flatinsert. It is possible to forecast the milling temperature through programming. The comparableexperiments have been done between the two new three-dimension groove inserts (waved-edge insert,great edge insert) and flat fake insert. The theoretic forecast is in good agreement with theexperimental result. According to the cutting conditions, the boundary condition of finite elementanalysis on cutting temperature field is established, and the three-dimensional temperature fieldsof inserts with grooves are analyzed by FEM, so as to offer a reference basis for the design andoptimization of insert grooves.

The Solids Conveying Mechanism for Helically Grooved Single-screw Extruders

A novel particle-size conveying model was established to examine the effects of the dimension relationships of the groove depth and particle size on the solids conveying mechanism of the helically grooved feed section. In the model, one or two shear interfaces were proposed based on the dimension relationships of the groove depth and particle size, and the solid-plug embedded in the groove and screw channel were divided into two or three layers by the shear interfaces to consider the solids conveying mechanism of each layer by the boundary condition equation for positive conveying. By the particle-size model, the effects of different dimension relationships on the transformation of solids conveying mechanisms between the friction-drag conveying and the positive conveying were discussed and compared with the on-line measuring experimental data. The results showed that the shear interfaces among the solids existed indeed and the dimension relationships determined the conveying mechanism and the throughput of helically grooved extruders, which was well confirmed by the excellent consistence between the predicted and measured data.

Numerical investigation of grooves effects on the thermal performance of helically grooved shell and coil tube heat exchanger

Heat exchangers are integral parts of important industrial units such as petrochemicals,medicine and power plants.Due to the importance of systems energy consumption,different modifications have been applied on heat exchangers in terms of size and structure.In this study,a novel heat exchanger with helically grooved annulus shell and helically coiled tube was investigated by numerical simulation.Helically grooves with the same pitch of the helical coil tube and different depth are created on the inner and outer wall of annulus shell to improve the thermal performance of heat exchanger.In the first section,thermal performance of the shell and coil heat exchanger with the helical grooves on its outer shell wall was compared with same but without helical grooves.At the second section,helically grooves created on both outer and inner wall of the annulus shell with different groove depths.The results showed that the heat exchanger with grooves on both inner and outer shell wall has better thermal performance up to 20%compared to the heat exchanger with grooves on only outer shell wall.The highest thermal performance achieves at lower flow rates and higher groove depths whereas the pressure drop did not increase significantly.

Investigation of the transformation of sink-roll groove-mark defect in the galvannealing process

The influence of galvannealing on the transformation of the sink-roll groove-mark defect was studied by comparing the defects on galvannealed( GA) coating with those on galvanized( GI) coating. It was found that defects on GI coating contained high amounts of aluminum,zinc dross,and a zinc-iron intermetallic outburst structure,as well as slight scratches on the substrate. After being galvannealed,the aluminum content was higher and there was a much greater outburst structure,which made the coating of the defect thicker than the normal coating,while the zinc dross and scratches on the substrate had disappeared due to zinc and iron diffusion during the galvannealing process.

Laser-assisted water jet machining of high quality micro-trap structures on stainless steel surfaces

Secondary electron emission(SEE)has emerged as a critical issue in next-generation accelerators.Mitigating SEE on metal surfaces is crucial for enhancing the stability and emittance of particle accelerators while extending their lifespan.This paper explores the application of laser-assisted water jet technology in constructing high-quality micro-trap structures on 316L stainless steel,a key material in accelerator manufacturing.The study systematically analyzes the impact of various parameters such as laser repetition frequency,pulse duration,average power,water jet pressure,repeat times,nozzle offset,focal position,offset distance between grooves,and processing speed on the surface morphology of stainless steel.The findings reveal that micro-groove depth increases with higher laser power but decreases with increasing water jet pressure and processing speed.Interestingly,repeat times have minimal effect on depth.On the other hand,micro-groove width increases with higher laser power and repeat times but decreases with processing speed.By optimizing these parameters,the researchers achieved high-quality pound sign-shaped trap structure with consistent dimensions.We tested the secondary electron emission coefficient of the"well"structure.The coefficient is reduced by 0.5 at most compared to before processing,effectively suppressing secondary electron emission.These results offer indispensable insights for the fabrication of micro-trap structures on material surfaces.Laser-assisted water jet technology demonstrates considerable potential in mitigating SEE on metal surfaces.

The fundamental relationship of too-groove engagment for groove shaping and the complex formulas related are verified by the example of machining and its computer simulation.

Groove formation on Phobos from reimpacting orbital ejecta of the Stickney crater

Numerous linear grooves have long been recognized as covering the surface of Phobos, but the mechanisms of their formation are still unclear. One possible mechanism is related to the largest crater on Phobos, the Stickney crater, whose impact ejecta may slide,roll, bounce, and engrave groove-like features on Phobos. When the launch velocity is higher than the escape velocity, the impact ejecta can escape Phobos. A portion of these high-velocity ejecta are dragged by the gravitational force of Mars, fall back, and reimpact Phobos.In this research, we numerically test the hypothesis that the orbital ejecta of the Stickney crater that reimpact Phobos could be responsible for a particular subset of the observed grooves on Phobos. We adopt impact hydrocode i SALE-2 D(impact-Simplified Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian, two-dimensional) to simulate the formation of the Stickney crater and track its impact ejecta, with a focus on orbital ejecta with launch velocities greater than the escape velocity of Phobos. The launch velocity distribution of the ejecta particles is then used to calculate their trajectories in space and determine their fates. For orbital ejecta reimpacting Phobos, we then apply the sliding boulder model to calculate the ejecta paths, which are compared with the observed groove distribution and length to search for causal relationships. Our ejecta trajectory calculations suggest that only ~1% of the orbital ejecta from the Stickney crater can reimpact Phobos. Applying the sliding boulder model, we predict ejecta sliding paths of 9-20 km in a westward direction to the east of the zone of avoidance, closely matching the observed grooves in that region. The best-fit model assumes an ejecta radius of ~150 m and a speed restitution coefficient of 0.3, consistent with the expected ejecta and regolith properties. Our calculations thus suggest the groove class located to the east of the zone of avoidance may have been caused by reimpact orbital ejecta from the Stickney crater.

Influence of a Winglet Combined with a Groove Tip on the Performances of a Variable-Pitch Axial Flow Fan

Taking a two-stage variable-pitch axial fan as the research object,five schemes,including a single counter-flow rib layout grooved tip,are numerically simulated using the fluent software.The results indicate that,compared with the original blade tip,the total pressure rise and efficiency of the four proposed schemes have been improved to various degrees,with Scheme 4(groove tip with double counterflow ribs)displaying the best performances.The total pressure and efficiency are increased by 113.44 Pa and 0.955%,respectively.The blade tip leakage flow is reduced to varying degrees under different schemes,according to the following order:Scheme 1,Scheme 2,Scheme 4,and Scheme 3 leading to a reduction of 7.44%,6.46%,5.36%,and 4.35%,respectively.Steady results are used as the initial condition for the ensuing strength check and modal analysis.

Finite Element Analysis of the Groove Pressing of Aluminum Alloy

In this paper, the finite element method was applied to analyze the deformation behavior of Al-1%Mg alloy during constrained groove pressing (CGP). Deformation inhomogeneity was studied in term of plastic strain distribution during deformation. It was found that after first pressing and flattening steps, the plastic strain is inhomogeneous but second pressing and flattening improve deformation distribution considerably. Also the regions between flat and inclined parts of sample receive less shear strain and consequently after four passes the deformation distribution is still inhomogeneous and doesn’t improve remarkably with more deformation steps.

A Qualitative Study of the Influence of Grooved Mold Surface Topography on the Formation of Surface Marks on As-Cast Ingots of Aluminum Alloy 3003

The effects of the wavelength and orientation of machined grooves on a mold surface, casting speed, and melt superheat on the formation of surface marks on as-cast ingots were studied with an immersion casting tester and copper mold chill blocks. The mold surface topographies included a polished smooth surface, and those with machined unidirectional parallel contoured grooves oriented either parallel (vertical) or perpendicular (horizontal) to the casting direction. The unidirectional grooves were 0.232 mm deep with wavelength or spacing between 1 and 15 mm. The casting speed and melt superheat were between 1 and 200 mm/s, and 10 and 50 K, respectively. Two primary types of surface marks were observed on ingots cast with the copper mold with smooth surface topography, namely the finer and closely spaced ripples (Type I), and the widely spaced but coarser laps (Type II). The latter were more prevalent at the higher casting speeds and melt superheats. Qualitatively, formation of both types of surface marks on the as-cast ingots of the aluminum alloy 3003 appeared to be alleviated by increase in casting speed and melt superheat, and by the use of molds with grooved surface topography. In fact, casting with a mold surface with 1 mm spaced grooves that are perpendicular to the casting direction eliminated the formation of surface marks at casting speeds greater than 1 mm/s. It also improved the uniformity of the ingot subsurface microstructure and eliminated the associated subsurface segregation.

INVESTIGATION ON THE APPLICATION OF THE BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD TO THE SPILL GROOVED THRUST BEARING

An application of the boundary element method (BEM) is presented to calculate the behaviors of a spiral grooved thrust bearing (SGTB). The basic reason is that the SGTB has very complex boundary conditions that can hinder the effective or sufficient applications of the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite element method (FEM), despite some existing work based on the FDM and the FEM. In other to apply the BEM, the pressure control equation, i. e., Reynolds' equation, is first transformed into Laplace's and Poisson's form of the equations. Discretization of the SGTB with a set of boundary elements is thus explained in detail, which also includes the handling of boundary conditions. The Archimedean SGTB is chosen as an example of the application Of BEM, and the relationship between the behaviors and structure parameters of the bearing are found and discussed through this calculation. The obtained results lay a solid foundation for a further work of the design of the SGTB.
