Optimisation of the performance and structure of soluble ball seat metal sealing rings based on response surface by CHEN Zhen, RAN Qingjie, CHEN Nengpeng, WANG Qiaomu

“…The increase of groove parameters (groove width and depth) can enhance the contact pressure, and at the same time, increase the equivalent stress, which may lead to local strength deficiency.Through the sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity coefficients of the radius of the metal seal ring to the equivalent force and contact pressure were found to reach 0.67 and 0.82, which were the dominant variables affecting the sealing performance; the width and depth of the grooves regulated the stress distribution through the geometric compensation mechanism. …”

A MODEL OF AGE–STRUCTURED POPULATION UNDER STOCHASTIC PERTURBATION OF DEATH AND BIRTH RATES by Maxim A. Alshanskiy

“…Under consideration is construction of a model of age-structured population reflecting random oscillations of the death and birth rate functions. We arrive at an Itô-type difference equation in a Hilbert space of functions which can not be transformed into a proper Itô equation via passing to the limit procedure due to the properties of the operator coefficients. …”

Vibration Analysis of Rotating Tapered Timoshenko Beams by a New Finite Element Model by Bulent Yardimoglu

“…A new finite element model is developed and subsequently used for transverse vibrations of tapered Timoshenko beams with rectangular cross-section. The displacement functions of the finite element are derived from the coupled displacement field (the polynomial coefficients of transverse displacement and cross-sectional rotation are coupled through consideration of the differential equations of equilibrium) approach by considering the tapering functions of breadth and depth of the beam. …”
