Performance analysis of a fully textured hybrid circular thrust pad bearing system operating with non-Newtonian lubricant

The present paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the influence of dimple geometry on fully textured hybrid thrust pad bearing and operating with non-Newtonian lubricant. The modified Reynolds equation which governs the flow of non-Newtonian lubricant in the clearance space has been solved using Finite Element Method. The simulated results indicate that the values of load carrying capacity, frictional power loss, maximum pressure and fluid film stiffness coefficient are significantly affected by the behavior of lubricant. The results presented in the study are expected to aid in determining the optimum value of dimple diameter and depth for the optimum bearing performance.

Optimization of PCB component placements for the collect-and-place machines

This paper presents two hybrid genetic algorithms (HGAs) to optimize the component placement operation for the collect-and-place machines in printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. The component placement problem is to optimize (i) the assignment of components to a movable revolver head or assembly tour, (ii) the sequence of component placements on a stationary PCB in each tour, and (iii) the arrangement of component types to stationary feeders simultaneously. The objective of the problem is to minimize the total traveling time spent by the revolver head for assembling all components on the PCB. The major difference between the HGAs is that the initial solutions are generated randomly in HGA1. The Clarke and Wright saving method, the nearest neighbor heuristic, and the neighborhood frequency heuristic are incorporated into HGA2 for the initialization procedure. A computational study is carried out to compare the algorithms with different population sizes. It is proved that the performance of HGA2 is superior to HGA1 in terms of the total assembly time.

A least squares support vector machine model for prediction of the next day solar insolation for effective use of PV systems

Accurate prediction of daily solar insolation has been one of the most important issues of solar engineering. The amount of solar insolation on a given location is a vital data for photovoltaic plants. Systems efficiency is easily affected by the changes in solar radiation so, this study is aimed to develop a Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) based intelligent model to predict the next day’s solar insolation for taking measures. Daily temperature and insolation data measured by Turkish State Meteorological Service for three years (2000–2002) were used as training data and the values of 2003 used as testing data. Numbers of the days from 1st January, daily mean temperature, daily maximum temperature, sunshine duration and the solar insolation of the day before parameters have been used as inputs to predict the daily solar insolation. The simulations were carried out with SVM Toolbox of MATLAB software. As a conclusion the results show that LS-SVM is a good method in estimating the amount of solar insolation of a given location with 99.294% accuracy.

Side milling of ruled surfaces: Optimum positioning of the milling cutter and calculation of interference

Side milling is a process that enables machining time and thus costs, to be reduced. This type of machining is particularly well suited to ruled surfaces and all surfaces where one of the principal curvatures is very small compared to the tool radius and changes little over the entire surface. These surfaces must be treated with great care, as they are often on parts with high added value such as turbine blades, aircraft wings or helicoidal parts as used in fluid dynamics.We then need to calculate and minimise interference that may arise if the ruled surface cannot be developed. Whereas machining is usually carried out by setting the tool according to a rule, we suggest a new setting of the tool allowing interference to be reduced considerably. The computation algorithms for this setting were developed so as to be used in real-time by CAD/CAM software.A comparative study of errors made with each type of setting is also presented. This shows a considerable reduction in errors when the setting we suggest is implemented.
