Diagnosing faults in rolling-element bearings of rotor systems equipped with vibration dampers
(Advances in mechanical engineering, 2020)This article considers problems arising from conventional techniques used to diagnose faults in the rolling-element bearings of rotor-bearing systems, with dampers used in centrifugal milk processing machinery. Such machines ... -
Different stabilization techniques for type 62B3 acetabular fractures in combination with primary total hip arthroplasty in elderly patients: a biomechanical comparison
(Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2016)Introduction: The total hip arthroplasty (THA) as part of acute fracture management is used for acetabular fractures in elderly patients. Our objective was to assess the stability of osteosynthesis performed using 2 different ... -
Dynamic research on a low-frequency vibration isolation system of quasi-zero stiffness
(Journal of low frequency noise, vibration and active control, 2019)The paper describes an establishment of dynamic characteristics of the newly created passive mechanical system for isolation of low-frequency (0.7 Hz–50 Hz) vibrations. The many metrological means are sensitive to mechanical ... -
Effect of propylene glycol, rapeseed glycerine, and corn starch modified polyol blends parameters on the properties of thermal insulating polyurethane foams
(Journal of cellular plastics, 2019)Water-blown polyurethane foams have some drawbacks such as intensive shrinkage, relatively high density, skin peeling phenomena post blowing, and longer demold time. These drawbacks can be partially or fully eliminated by ... -
