To understand the dynamics of combustion, sophisticated sensor systems are used to provide data on thermal dynamics, energy transfers and combustion processes. Machine Design spoke with Dr. John ...

Factors influencing the proportioning of machine elements: stresses, deformations, and failure criteria as applied to shafts, springs, belts, bearings, gears. Design of Elements is a required course ...

Precision high-speed machining requires low-friction bearings that provide dynamic stability. Hybrid bearings with ceramic balls run faster and have higher stiffness than comparable all-steel bearings ...

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...
