A helical gear has teeth in form of helix around the gear. Two such gears may be used to connect two parallel shafts in place of spur gears. The helixes may be right handed on one gear and left handed on the other. The pitch surfaces are cylindrical as in spur gearing, but the teeth instead of being parallel to the axis, wind around the cylinders helically like screw threads.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

31. What are Bearings?
• A bearing is a device to permit constrained
relative motion b/w two parts typically
rotation or linear movement.
• Bearing may be classified broadly according to
the motion they allow and according to their
principle of operation.
Bear – கரடி, தாங்கு.
32. In a ball bearing, the load is transmitted from
the outer race to the ball, and from the ball to
the inner race. Since the ball is a sphere, it only
contacts the inner and outer race at a very
small point, which helps it spin very smoothly.
But it also means that there is not very much
contact area holding that load, so if the bearing
is overloaded, the balls can deform or squish,
ruining the bearing.
Roller bearings like the one illustrated above are
used in applications like conveyer belt rollers,
where they must hold heavy radial loads. In these
bearings, the roller is a cylinder, so the contact
between the inner and outer race is not a point but
a line. This spreads the load out over a larger area,
allowing the bearing to handle much greater loads
than a ball bearing. However, this type of bearing is
not designed to handle much thrust loading.
33. Bearing alloys
A bearing is a device to allow
constrained relative motion between
two parts, typically rotation or linear
movement.
Bearings may be classified broadly
according to the motions they allow and
according to
their principle of operation as well as by
the directions of applied loads they can
handle.

38. Function of bearing
• The main function of rotating shaft (Journal) is
to transmit power from one end of the line to
the other.
• Supports the load.
• It needs a good support to ensure stability
and frictionless rotation. The support for the
shaft is know as “Bearing”.
• https://gfycat.com/yearlyshoddyarmyworm
40. Types of Bearings
• Based on direction of Load:
– Radial bearing
– Thrust/Axial bearings
– Combined bearing
• Based on Nature of contact
– Sliding contact
– Rolling contact
41.
42. Types of bearing
• Sliding contact bearing or Plain bearing or Journal bearing
or Sleeve bearing
– Hydrodynamic bearing (Thick film bearing)
– Thin film bearing (Boundary lubricated bearings)
– Hydrostatic bearing (Externally pressurized lubricated bearing)
• Rolling contact bearing or Anti-friction bearing or simply
ball bearing:-
– (1)Deep groove ball bearing
– (2)Cylinder roller bearing
– (3)Angular contact bearing
– (4)Taper roller bearing
– (5)Self aligning bearing
45. Types of Sliding Contact Bearing
(Based on sliding action)
When the angle of
contact of the bearing
with the journal is
360° as shown in (a),
then the bearing is
called a full journal
bearing.
When the angle of
contact of the bearing
with the journal is 120°,
as shown in Fig (b), then
the bearing is said to be
partial journal bearing.
the diameters of the
journal and bearing
are equal, then the
bearing is called a
fitted bearing, as
shown in Fig. (c).
46. 1. Sliding contact bearing
• In these bearing load is transferred though a
thin film of lubricant coils (oils).
47. 1.1 Hydrodynamics bearing
• A journal bearing , in its simplest
form is a cylinder bushing made of
a suitable material and containing
property machine inside and
outside diameters. The journal is
usually the part of a shaft or pins
that rotates inside the bearing.
• Its handle high load and velocity
because metal to metal contact is
minimal due to the oil films.
• They are require large supply of
lubrication oil.
49. 1.2 Hydrostatic bearing
• Hydrostatic bearings are externally
pressurized fluid bearings, where the fluid is
usually oil, water or air, and the pressurization
is done by a pump.
50.
51.
52. 2. Rolling contact bearing
• A load is transfer though rolling elements such
as balls straight and tapered cylinders and
spherical rollers.
• The designer must deal with such matter as
fatigue, friction, heat , lubrication etc.
56. Babbit metal
Tin base babbits : Tin 90% ; Copper 4.5% ; Antimony 5% ; Lead 0.5%.
Lead base babbits : Lead 84% ; Tin 6% ; Anitmony 9.5% ; Copper 0.5%.
Bronzes.
The gun metal (Copper 88% ; Tin 10% ; Zinc 2%) is used for high grade bearings
subjected to high pressures (not more than 10 N/mm2 of projected area) and high
speeds.
The phosphor bronze (Copper 80% ; Tin 10% ; Lead 9% ; Phosphorus 1%) is used for
bearings subjected to very high pressures (not more than 14 N/mm2 of projected area)
and speeds.
Cast iron. The cast iron bearings are usually used with steel journals. Such type of
bearings are fairly successful where lubrication is adequate and the pressure is limited
to 3.5 N/mm2 and speed
to 40 metres per minute.
Silver. The silver and silver lead bearings are mostly used in aircraft engines where the
fatigue strength is the most important consideration.
Non-metallic bearings. The various non-metallic bearings are made of carbon-graphite,
rubber, wood and plastics. The carbon-graphite bearings are self lubricating,
dimensionally stable over a wide range of operating conditions,
Materials used for Sliding Contact Bearings
59. Assumptions in Hydrodynamic
bearings
• Obeys newton law of viscous flow
– Relationship between the shear stress and shear rate
of a fluid subjected to a mechanical stress. The ratio
of shear stress to shear rate is a constant, for a given
temperature and pressure.
• Pressure is constant through out the film
thickness
• Lubricant is incompressible
• Viscosity is constant
• Flow is one dimensional – Side leakage is
neglected
60. Wedge film formation in
Hydrodynamic bearing
• In fully hydrodynamic (or "full-film") lubrication,
the moving surface of the journal is completely
separated from the bearing surface by a very
thin film of lubricant (as little as 0.0001" with
isotropic-superfinished {ISF} surfaces). The
applied load causes the centerline of the
journal to be displaced from the centerline of
the bearing. This eccentricity creates a circular
"wedge" in the clearance space.
• The lubricant, by virtue of its viscosity, clings to
the surface of the rotating journal, and is drawn
into the wedge, creating a very high pressure
(sometimes in excess of 6,000 psi), which acts to
separate the journal from the bearing to support
the applied load.
65. Coefficient of Friction for Journal Bearings
By McKee
By Petroff’s equation or Petroff's law
The Petroff’s equation and McKee's equations are employed for lightly loaded bearings.
66. Critical Pressure of the Journal Bearing
Sommerfeld Number
The Sommerfeld number is also a dimensionless parameter used extensively in
the design of journal bearings , Mathematically
67. Heat Generated in a Journal Bearing
Heat Dissipated in a Journal Bearing
Heat generated < Heat dissipated
74. Problems

– FR = 4000 N
– FA = 5000 N
– N = 1600 rpm
– LH = 5 yrs; at 10hrs/day
– LH = 5yrs x 10hrs x 300 days (Assuming 300 working days)
– LH = 15,000 hrs
• To Find:
– Select a single row deep groove ball bearing
187. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 1
• Solution:
1. Assumption of Bearing dimensions:
– From PSG Databook pg no: 4.12 to 4.15 is for
Deep grove ball bearing
– i.e., from SKF (name of the company which
manufactures bearings) series 60 to 64
– Since dia is not given in our question, we gonna
assume the dimensions from any one of the
series.
188. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 1
• Solution:
– Start Assuming from Series 60 or 62 (Mere guess,
if design not satisfied, it has to be changed) from
PSG databook page no : 4.13
– In that, let us Assume Series 62, d = 40mm
For medium duty Ball bearings : 30 – 120 mm dia can
be chosen
189.
190. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 1
• Solution:
– Assume Series 62 (Mere guess, if design not
satisfied, it has to be changed)
– In that, let us Assume d = 40mm

be chosen
191. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 1
• Solution:
– Copy down all the data given in PSG databook for
Dia 40mm and Series 62
Dia 40 mm
ISI NO 40BC02
Bearing basic design no SKF 6208
Outer dia, D 80 mm

Ball radius 2 mm
Static Capacity, C0 1600 kgf = 16,000 N
Dynamic Capacity, C 2280 kgf = 22,800 N
192. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 2
Solution:
• Calculation of Equivalent Load
– From PSG Databook pg no: 4.2
P = (X FR + Y FA ) S
– To find X, Y & S
– From PSG Databook pg no: 4.2,
Assume it is for rotary M/c with no impact.
– Hence, Assume S = 1.5 (Choosing max and checking)
– From PSG Databook pg no: 4.4
193. • First find : FA/C0 = 5,000 / 16,000 = 0.3125
• Then, Find : FA /FR = 5000/4000 = 1.25
• To find e < or e >,
– The e value for deep grove ball bearing lies
between 0.22 to 0.44 from PSG DB pg 4.4
– But FA /FR is 1.25 which is always greater than 0.44
(Max value of “e”)
194. • But FA /FR is 1.25 which is always greater than
0.44 (Max value of “e”)
• Hence choose FA /FR > e column
• X = 0.56
• For Y, Choose FA/C0 = 0.3125 which is between
0.25 to 0.5,
• Hence approximately assume 1.15
195. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 2
Solution:
• Calculation of Equivalent Load
– From PSG Databook pg no: 4.2
P = (X FR + Y FA ) S
P = (0.56 x 4000 + 1.15 x 5000) 1.5
P = 11,985 N
196. FR = 4000 N, FA = 5000 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 3
Solution:
• Checking of Bearing Capacity (Which we
choose. Else re-assume the dia of bearing
again)
• From PSG databook pg no : 4.6
• Life of Bearing, LH = 15,000 hrs and N =
1600rpm
197.
198. P = 11,985 N, N = 1600 rpm, LH = 15,000 hrs
STEP 3
• From PSG databook pg no : 4.6
• Life of Bearing, LH = 15,000 hrs and N =
1600rpm
• The value of C/P = 11.50
• Now, C = 11.50 * 11,985
= 1,37,827.50 N = 13,783 kgf
• But, Dynamic capacity for the series 62 & dia
40mm which we assumed is 2,800kgf
199. • Cassumed < Ccalculated
• Cassumed = 22,800 N (2280kgf) for Series 62 & dia 40mm
• Ccalculated = 1,37,827.50 N = 13,783 kgf
• Hence our assumption of series 62 must be changed
to next series 63 as the design become unsafe.
200.
201. For the C=13,783
• C h e c k i n g S e r i e s 6 3
• The C value occurring around the calculated C
is for d = 105 mm
• C = 14,300 kgf = 1,43,000 N
• C0 = 14,300 kgf = 1,43,000 N
• Now repeating the procedure we did
previously
202. FA = 5000 N & C0 = 1,43,000 N
• For, FA / C0 = 5,000/1,43,000 = 0.035
• X = 0.56 & Y = 1.9 (approximately)
• Now, P = (X Fr + Y FA ) S
= (0.56 * 4000 + 1.9 *5000) 1.1
P = 12,914 N
• Next, C/P ratio
• We already know C/P = 11.50
203. P = 12,914 N
• C = 11.50 * 12914
• C = 1,48,511
• Again Cassumed < Ccalculated
• Our design is unsafe
• Hence repeat the steps once again
for next dia (don’t need to change
the series here as the value is much
nearer)
204. C = 1,48,511
• C h e c k i n g S e r i e s 6 3
• The C value occurring around the calculated C
is for d = 120 mm
• C = 16,300 kgf = 1,63,000 N
• C0 = 17,300 kgf = 1,73,000 N
• Now repeating the procedure we did
previously
205. FA = 5000 N & C0 = 1,73,000 N
• For, FA / C0 = 5,000/1,73,000 = 0.028
• X = 0.56 & Y = 2
• Now, P = (X Fr + Y FA ) S
= (0.56 * 4000 + 2 *5000) 1.1
P = 13,464 N
• Next, C/P ratio
• We already know C/P = 11.50
206. P = 13,464 N
• C = 11.50 * 13464 = 1,54,836 N
• C = 15,483 kgf
• Now Cassumed > Ccalculated
