A new methodology for the optimization of bolt tightening sequences for ring type joints
Ibai Coria, Mikel Abasolo, Imanol Olaskoaga +2
Achieving uniform bolt load distribution is critical to obtain leak-free service in pressure vessel gasketed joints used in offshore pipelines. This is a difficult task due to bolt…
Wire twisting stiffness modelling with application in wire race ball bearings. Derivation of analytical formula and Finite Element validation
Josu Aguirrebeitia, Inigo Martin, Iker Heras +2
Since Erich Franke produced the first wire race bearings in 1934, they have not been used profusely until these last years in applications such as computerized tomography, X-ray ma…
Static structural behaviour of wire bearings: comparison with conventional bearings and study of design and operational parameters
Inigo Martin, Iker Heras, Josu Aguirrebeitia +2
In wire bearings the rolling process occurs on raceways machined on steel wires, and the rings are made of light materials such as aluminium. This particular architecture provides…
Fatigue performance of prosthetic screws used in dental implant restorations: Rolled versus cut threads
Mikel Armentia, Mikel Abasolo, Ibai Coria +2
Statement of problem. Cold rolling is widely used for screw thread manufacturing in industry but is less common in implant dentistry, where cutting is the preferred manufacturing m…
Structural modeling of crossed roller wire race bearings: analytical submodel for the roller-wire-ring set
Inigo Martin, Iker Heras, Ibai Coria +2
Since wire bearings were patented in 1936, they have been used in applications where weight saving is a key aspect. Nevertheless, little work can be found in literature regarding t…
Load distribution and friction torque in four-point contact slewing bearings considering manufacturing errors and ring flexibility
Iker Heras, Josu Aguirrebeitia, Mikel Abasolo +2
This work introduces a methodology for the calculation of the load distribution in four-point contact slewing bearings considering ball preload, manufacturing errors and ring flexi…
