Concurrent modes of climate variability linked to spatially compounding wind and precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere by B. François, K. Teber, L. Brett, R. Leeding, L. Gimeno-Sotelo, L. Gimeno-Sotelo, L. Gimeno-Sotelo, D. I. V. Domeisen, D. I. V. Domeisen, L. Suarez-Gutierrez, L. Suarez-Gutierrez, E. Bevacqua

“…By examining the relationships between frequencies of wintertime CWP extremes across regions, we identify dependencies enabling extreme spatially compounding events, that is winters with many regions experiencing CWP extremes. While ENSO is the most influential variability mode for such extreme spatially compounding events, the occurrence of these events increases further when multiple modes of variability are in anomalous phases. …”

DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS ANALYSIS OF DEEP GROOVE BALL BEARINGS'CAGE UNDER VARIABLE WORKING CONDITIONS

“…The dynamic performance of deep groove ball bearings is greatly influenced by the variable operating conditions,mostly the fluctuation of speed of the new energy motor.Taking the 6207 type deep groove ball bearing as the research object,considering the flexible deformation of the cage,the explicit dynamics analysis model of deep groove ball bearings was established in the Ansys/Ls-Dyna software.The influence of different angular acceleration conditions and different rotation fluctuations on the stability and contact characteristics of the cage was analyzed.The results show that the increase of angular acceleration can lead to the increase of velocity fluctuation and the decrease of cage stability.Compared with the stable condition,the contact force and instability between the steel ball and the cage are obviously increased under the rotation fluctuation condi-tion.The influence of speed fluctuation condition on the stability of the cage in descending order is rectangular fluctuation,triangular fluctuation,sinusoidal fluctuation and steady working condition.…”
