Braking in hoisting drives is used to reduce the speed of the load (cargo) or to stop it completely. Braking can be realized using electrical and mechanical means; mechanical brake is used to hold the suspended cargo after disconnecting the driving motor from the supply. In modern hoisting electric drive systems, in addition to mechanical braking, electric braking is also used. Electric braking...

distribution income show how national income divide between economic sectors and social groups. it effect on social justice and many factors effect on it, such as productivity of labor force and employment rate. in this paper, factors affecting distribution income, especially productivity of labor force have been analyzed by panel data model for 32 countries during 1998-2005. the results show e...

This paper focuses on the study of the change of various types of riding behaviour, such as speed, brake force, and throttle force applied, when they ride across the speed table. An instrumented motorcycle equipped with various types of sensor, on-board camera, and data logger was used in acquiring the traffic data in the research. Riders were instructed to ride across two speed tables and the ...

Hybrid vehicles usually have several braking systems, and braking mode switches are significant events during braking. It is difficult to coordinate torque fluctuations caused by mode switches because the dynamic characteristics of braking systems are different. In this study, a new type of plug-in hybrid vehicle is taken as the research object, and braking mode switches are divided into two ty...

The background and necessity of application of numerical simulation method in research on friction materials of automotive brake are analysed. The numerical analysis methods of conversion of braking energy, distribution of friction heat, transfer of friction heat and thermal mechanical coupling, are discussed. The dynamic temperature field and thermal stress field of the same brake disc and two...

Developing stages of horizontal convection observed during transitions from conduction to thermally equilibrated states are studied with visualization experiments imposing horizontally differential heating at the top low-temperature water. Due absence destabilizing thermal sources, convective rolls, which localized on plane is imposed, formed only by baroclinic torque driving force against a br...

BACKGROUND This study hopes to establish the timeframe for a safe return to driving under different speed conditions for patients after minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty and further explores how well various kinds of functional tests on knee performance can predict the patients' braking ability. METHODS 14 patients with right knee osteoarthritis were included in the present study and...

We study numerically the collapse of rotating, magnetized molecular cloud cores, focusing on rotation and magnetic braking during the main accretion phase of isolated star formation. Motivated by previous numerical work and analytic considerations, we idealize the pre-collapse core as a magnetized singular isothermal toroid, with a constant rotational speed everywhere. The collapse starts from ...
