Abstract
Purpose
Large scale is a trend of the ball mill, so the loads on their bearings become very large, bearing operating conditions turn into more severe. The moment of inertia to their pivot of the pad increase significantly, so it leads to the difficult of the pad attitude adjustment and makes the pad tilting angles time response slow, the key factor to effects attitude adjustment is the oil film moment to the pad pivot at unbalance position. the oil film moment and its effect factors must be studied in the design of the bearing used in ball mill.
Design/methodology/approach
Models about the lubrication of multi-pocket pivoted pad hydrostatic bearing is established, the complicated relationship of the oil flow rate between the oil pockets are taken into account. Finite differential method is used to solv the model, and theroy of finite element method is use to calculate the oil flow rate out of the pocket edges. Newton’s methods are used to determine the pressure of pockets.The pad tilting moment to its pivot is numerically analyzed.
Findings
The tilting moment to its pivot is set as an indicator of the ability for a pad to adjust its attitude. The effects of the diameter of throttling capillary and the pocket area on the attitude adjusting capacity is studied. Relations between the attitude adjustment capacity for a pad and there effects factors are presented.
Practical implications
The methods and results have the special reference to the design and operation of multiple pockets tilted pad hydrostatic journal bearing.
Originality/value
Methods to studied the pad attitude adjustment are given in the article for the multi-pocket pivot pad hydrostatic beairng.The influence factors on pad attitude adjusting capacity are discussed for a this specail kind hydrostatic bearing, the how the factors influence the pad tilting angle adjustment are presented.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to study the mechanism of heat generation in a screw, and investigates the heat flux in the connection screw pair under high frequent oscillation along the axial direction. Heat generated in the screw under high frequent oscillation could be observed in a lot of situations and was significant, and it could cause damage of screw joining and transmission.
Design/methodology/approach
A heat flux model in a screw pair under high frequent oscillation along the axial direction is established. Bulk temperature field in the connected parts is calculated by means of finite element methods. A testing device aimed to temperature rise measurement in a thread pair under high frequent oscillation is built. Temperature rises under different operation conditions are measured.
Findings
The heat flux generated in the screw pair because of friction between the contact surfaces of the screw thread is obtained. The effects of oscillating amplitude and frequency on heat flux are obtained. It is found that amplitude and frequency have a significant influence on the heat generated under high frequent oscillation. The numerical results show good agreement with the numerical results.
Research limitations/implications
This study has some limitations; for example, the friction coefficient and the relative sliding displacement between the thread surfaces need further accurate research.
Practical implications
Heat generated in a screw under high frequent oscillation is very rarely mentioned in previous research papers. The methods used in this paper could be used to evaluate the heat flux and temperature under high frequent oscillations. The temperature could be used to calculate the thermal stress and expansion in the screw thread under high frequent oscillation. The screw connections need to be protected from the damage because of heat stress and from getting loose because of heat expansion of the connected parts.
Originality/value
The mechanisms of heat generation in the screw pair under high frequent oscillation are studied. The model of heat flux in the screw under high frequency oscillation is established, and it could be used to calculate the heat flux under different operating conditions. The transient temperature field of the connected parts is given. A test facility was built and the experiment to measure the temperatures of the bolt and nut was carried out. The results had good agreement.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to apply what can be learned from the emergence of nature tourism to understand some current and future trends of tourism.
Design/methodology/approach
This study adopted the evolutionary paradigm for investigation.
Findings
The emergence of nature tourism in early medieval China can be attributed to four major factors, including transformation of value orientations, seeking longevity, interest in suburbs and population migration.
Research limitations/implications
Historical studies help understand the current and future trends. When the contributing factors for nature tourism are linked to the contemporary world, it can be found that these factors are still playing a part in shaping tourism trends or patterns in their original or alternative forms. These trends or patterns are worthy of scholarly investigations.
Originality/value
This paper offers a comprehensive understanding of the origins of nature tourism.
