The Influence of Friction Parameters and Material Type on Results in the Block-on-Ring Friction System by Marcin Madej, Beata Leszczyńska-Madej

“…As the tests were carried out under technically dry friction conditions, it was possible to capture both the effect of the running-in period and the stable friction path. The tests showed that the alloys tested over the longer friction distance of 250 m responded differently to a change in parameters, with alloy B83 showing a sinusoidal variation in wear resistance with a maximum at medium speed, whereas alloy B89 is characterized by a continuous increase in wear with increasing speed. …”

Link-disjoint routing algorithm under multiple additive QoS constraints by XIONG Ke1, QIU Zheng-ding1, ZHANG Yu1, ZHANG Hong-ke3

“…The problem of finding link-disjoint paths under multiple additive QoS constraints was studied.Since the existing algorithms depended on network’s structure and could not guarantee to find feasible solutions for arbitrary net-works,a novel algorithm called multiple constrained link-disjoint path routing algorithm（MCLPRA） was proposed.MCLPRA was based on SAMCRA and didn’t rely on the network’s structure.By introducing the parameter to control its search depth,dividing the solution space into different classes and performing searching according to the classes respectively,MCLPRA was able to obtain the feasible solutions for arbitrary networks.Theoretic analysis shows that MCLPRA can get the feasible and optimal solutions when traditional schemes can not.Comprehensive simulations also show that MCLPRA has better performances than existing algorithms in terms of higher average successful rate of getting feasible solutions with shorter average total length of the obtained path pair.…”
