The present work numerically investigates vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of a two-dimensional circular cylinder with an axisymmetric slit at Reynolds number 500. study examines the effects shape (i.e., converging, diverging, and parallel slits), effect slit-area ratios, slit-width, its angle freestream velocity on aerodynamic forces, vibration response, associated flow characteristics. results...

air spindles are one of the main elements of precise machine tools. vibration of these spindles is one of the vital issues necessary for investigation. among parameters which influence air spindle vibrations are rotational speed, compression air method, input nozzle diameter, air gap pressure. in this study using ansys, the effects of air gap thickness on air spindle vibrations have been invest...

The Lithium Tokamak eXperiment is a spherical tokamak with a close-fitting low-recycling wall composed of thin lithium layers evaporated onto a stainless steel-lined copper shell. Long-lived non-axisymmetric eddy currents are induced in the shell and vacuum vessel by transient plasma and coil currents and these eddy currents influence both the plasma and the magnetic diagnostic signals that are...

the evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. the rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. in the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

The Global Magnetorotational Instability (MRI) is investigated for a configuration in which the rotation frequency changes only in a narrow transition region. If the vertical wavelength of the unstable mode is of the same order or smaller than the width of this region, the growth rates can differ significantly from those given by a local analysis. In addition, the non-axisymmetric spectrum admi...

Perturbations of the Kerr black hole in the class of axisymmetric artificial black holes. Abstract Artificial black holes (called also acoustic or optical black holes) are the black holes for the linear wave equation describing the wave propagation in a moving medium. They attracted a considerable interest of physicists who study them to better understand the black holes in general relativity. ...

a simple new closed form of the green function for axisymmetric magnetostatic problemsis found analytically in cylindrical coordinates. the result is verified by applying several examples.

We propose a method of driving the vibrations of normal modes of a target molecule into coherence using stimulated Raman scattering. In concert many vibrations can produce a larger anti-Stokes signal than a single vibration. The same illumination does not drive other molecules to have coherent vibrations so that these molecules produce a weaker signal. We investigate how target and confounder m...

Farmers experience whole-body vibrations when they drive tractors. Among the various factors that influence the vibrations to which the driver is exposed are terrain roughness, tractor speed, tire type and pressure, rear axle width, and tractor seat height above the ground. In this paper the influence of tractor seat height above the ground on the lateral vibrations to which the tractor driver ...

The applicability and limitations of simplified models thin elastic circular cylindrical shells for linear vibrations double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are considered. models, which based on the assumptions membrane moment approximate thin-shell theories, compared with extended Sanders–Koiter shell theory. Actual discrete DWCNTs modelled by means couples concentric equivalent continuous t...
