Alkali-activated slag and fly ash (FA)-blended seawater sea sand concrete (AASC) is a new
type of concrete produced without Portland cement or river sand. The advantages of utilising …

Disc springs have excellent ability to absorb and dissipate energy, and are widely used as
basic vibration isolation units in the design of vibration isolators for naval power systems …

Disk springs have been widely used in machine tools, aerospace vehicles, and automobiles.
Pioneering work by Almen-Laszlo has inspired a deeper understanding of the nonlinear …

The monitoring and control of hydraulic systems in an autonomous and battery-free manner
is receiving increasing attention to improve both safety and performance. In this regard, the …

The primary objective of this fundamental research is to investigate the mechanical
properties of the disk spring when the friction at the contact edges is asymmetric and varies …

Systematic experimental studies of disc springs are sparse. In this paper, quasi-static and
dynamic compression experiments are performed on a single disc spring under both …

Improving the resiliency of the built environment, particularly against seismic events, has
been a crucial matter over the last decade. Changing the structural seismic design strategy …

In the European standards specifying disc spring manufacturing, geometry, shape and
characteristic, an edge rounding is prescribed. Common methods for the calculation of disc …

Uniform thickness belleville springs (UBS) are a suitable replacement for coil springs in
many applications due to their ability to take higher loads and their relatively small and …

In order to study the influence of friction coefficient on the stiffness of disc spring, A series of
disc springs (D= 71 mm) were selected in this paper. The tension and compression …
