The SK-HD 38.36 coupling, meanwhile, is specially designed for heavy-duty transports with up to 36 tons imposed load. The robust component is also available as an offroad variant SK-HD 38.36 G with cardanic bearings.
This correction consists in a modification of the nodal pressures proportional to the ratio of the current load to the imposed load.
One part of the imposed load is finally burdened by the bearing of the ring gear, and the other part is burdened by the ring gear and finally transferred to the sun gear through planet gears.
The problem of increased kinematic displacements can be solved by increasing the relation of dead weight to imposed load, which is achieved by adding of cantledge (Fig.
Load factors needed to take into account both the dead load - the structure itself - and the imposed load such as snow and wind.
In addition, our partitions had to be as lightweight as possible to reduce the imposed load due to the large spans of the floor slabs and to help compensate for live loading during peak times."
The "method of the minimum squared" was used to evaluate the linearity between the RMS value, in [micro] V, and the imposed load, in kilograms, for adjustment of a straight line and the "coefficient of determination," [r.sup.2], based on Pearson's coefficient of correlation.
Determination of operating costs includes correlating roll resistance with respect to inflation pressure and vehicle imposed load of the tire, as well as usage of the tire.
For the operating pressure, at an imposed load Fi, the following relationship shall be used (Prodan 2004):
Enterprise applications must be online 24x7 and be online with uniform/satisfactory response times, independent of minor variations in imposed load.
