Preloading. All rolling-element linear-motion bearings have some deflection between raceways and rolling elements under load. This deflection can be minimized by applying a preload, which is an ...

This important book provides an account of the linear acoustics of basic isotropic/anisotropic structures excited by time-harmonic and transient mechanical forces and acoustic sources. Many numerical ...

There is thus a discussion of electromagnetic field momentum and mechanical“hidden” momentum in the quasi-static interaction of an electric charge and a magnet. This discussion, among other things ...
