DYCO Technical Publications
The engineering underneath the part.
14 technical publications, roughly 56,600 words, on the metallurgy, tribology and fluid engineering that decide whether a drivetrain component survives its duty cycle. Each carries figures and cited standards.

What these are, and what they are not. These are review papers
synthesising published engineering practice — ISO, ASTM, SAE and AGMA standards
and established texts. They do not report original experimental work and contain no
test data or failure statistics. Where genuine engineering disagreement exists, the
papers say so rather than resolving it for the reader.
