Velocity joint

In a front-wheel-drive car, the drive wheels experience not only the road-induced vertical motion of the rear wheels hut also must rotate about a vertical axis to accommodate steering. Several different configurations of constant-velocity universal joints have been developed to manage such motion. These constant-velocity joints are larger and more expensive than the joint described above.

Steering components, for example, knuckle joints, as well as transmission and drive Une parts, such as transmission shafts, pinions, and constant-velocity joints. Another considerable application for cold forging is various kinds of fasteners. Figure 3 shows the inner race for a constant-velocity joint, a component of an automotive drive line. 

Finally, several special joints should be mentioned. Cam, gear, rack and pinion, and other components need to be composed of rotational and translational joints. Parts in these joints must follow each other, as is required by the principles of their operation. This is described in the model of the joint by an additional constraint. Relative motion between two translational, rotational, or cylindrical joints and any combination of two of these joints may be predefined. A constant velocity joint serves special applications. A fixed joint has zero degrees of freedom.

Erosion is the deterioration of a surface by the abrasive action of solid particles in a liquid or gas, gas bubbles in a liquid, liquid droplets in a gas or due to (local) high-flow velocities. This type of attack is often accompanied by corrosion (erosion-corrosion). The most significant effect of a joint action of erosion and corrosion is the constant removal of protective films from a metal s surface. This can also be caused by liquid movement at high velocities, and will be particularly prone to occur if the solution contains solid particles that have an abrasive action.

Drill Pipe Wear. Erosion can occur between the hard band and the tool joint metal when the box end is hardbanded. This erosion is due to the high-velocity flow of cuttings in the annulus section of the borehole. 

The duct between the boiler outlet and the chimney connection should be designed to have a gas velocity no greater than the chimney flue, be complete with insulation, and cladding, access openings and expansion joints. It should have the least number of bends and changes of section possible and should preferably not fall between the boiler outlet and the chimney connection. 

Zimm [34] extended the bead-spring model by additionally taking hydrodynamic interactions into account. These interactions lead to changes in the medium velocity in the surroundings of each bead, by beads of the same chain. It is worth noting that neither the Rouse nor the Zimm model predicts a shear rate dependency of rj. Moreover, it is assumed that the beads are jointed by an ideally Hookean spring, i.e. they obey a strictly linear force law. 

The spin-displacement density function, c (z, Z), and the normalized displacement distribution function, P(z, Z), can be converted readily into the joint spin-velocity density function, q(z, vn), and the normalized velocity distribution function, P(z, vn), respectively, with the net velocity vn defined as vn = Z/A. Once the velocity density function is determined for each of the volume elements, the superficial average velocity, v, is calculated by [23] ... 

The life of equipment subjected to corrosive environments can be increased by proper attention to design details. Equipment should be designed to drain freely and completely. The internal surfaces should be smooth and free from crevasses where corrosion products and other solids can accumulate. Butt joints should be used in preference to lap joints. The use of dissimilar metals in contact should be avoided, or care taken to ensure that they are effectively insulated to avoid galvanic corrosion. Fluid velocities and turbulence should be high enough to avoid the deposition of solids, but not so high as to cause erosion-corrosion.
