Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamic model to predict the occurrence of skidding in wind-turbine bearings
Sharad Jain,Hugh Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a dynamic model to study the skidding characteristics of angular contact ball-bearings, which includes gyroscopic and centrifugal effects, and obtained the forces between rolling elements and raceways using elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of sub-modelling technique to calculate vibration in buildings from underground railways
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional frame made of beam elements is used to model the building and its piled foundation and the elements are formulated using a dynamic stiffness matrix which accounts for Euler-Bernoulli bending and axial behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voids at the tunnel-soil interface for calculation of ground vibration from underground railways
Simon Jones,Hugh Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-analytical method is developed which derives discrete transfers for the coupled tunnel-soil model based on the continuous Pipe-in-Pipe method, where the void is simulated by uncoupling the appropriate nodes at the interface to prevent force transfer between the systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifting options for stratospheric aerosol geoengineering: advantages of tethered balloon systems.
TL;DR: The paper estimates the time scales and relatively modest costs required if a tethered balloon system were to be introduced in a measured way with testing and development work proceeding over three decades, rather than in an emergency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting surface vibration from underground railways through inhomogeneous soil
Simon Jones,Hugh Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of soil inhomogeneity on surface vibration is quantified using the thin-layer method (TLM) for underground railways in arbitrarily layered half-spaces.
