Abstract—Condition surveillance of rotating machinery in a plant is very important for guaranteeing production efficiency and plant safety. In a large plant, because there are an enormous number of rotating machines, condition surveillance for all rotating machines is time consuming and labor intensive and the accuracy of condition judgment is not ensured. These difficulties may cause serious m...

I MOIRE PATrERNS AND TWO· DIMENSIONAL ALIASING IN LINE SCANNER DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS C. D. McGillem T. E. Riemer I The basic mechanism underlying the generation of Moire patterns in line scanner data acquisition systems is examined. A general expression 1s developed in terms of typical system parameters for the reproduced image of such systems and the interaction of the image spectrum; the r...

So far, only a few studies have been carried out in central European forests to estimate individual tree stem volume of pine trees from high resolution remote sensing data. In this article information derived from airborne laser scanner and multispectral line scanner data were tested to predict the stem volume of 178 pines (Pinus sylvestris) in a study site in the south-west of Germany. First, ...

A gold coated copper rotating electrode was used to eliminate surface oxidation effect. This study examined the effect of electrode rotation on the ozone generation process and showed that an ozonizer with an electrode rotating system might be a possible way to increase ozone-synthesis efficiency. Two new phenomena appeared during experiments with the rotating electrode. First was that ozone co...

We demonstrate that the attractive magnetic force acting on a rotating magnetic device (e.g., a magnetic microrobot), actuated using a rotating magnet dipole, can be converted into a lateral force by rotating the actuator dipole according to a specific open-loop trajectory. Results show rotating magnetic devices can be rolled and simultaneously pushed along a surface by the lateral force, resul...

Abstract. Friction Stir Extrusion (FSE) is an innovative direct-recycling technology developed for metal machining chips. A rotating die plunged into a cylindrical chamber containing the material to be recycled during procedure. The die's stirring action causes strong bonding, enabling back extrusion of full dense rod. One technology's major flaws process' discontinuity, which limits volume ext...

In this paper the eccentric forward extrusion of sections has been simulated and analyzed using FEM Abaqus-explicit. The results have been compared to those obtained from upper bound theorem and experimental works. Close agreements was observed between the FEM and experimental work and as compared with the upper bound data more realistic and better predictions were made by the authors’ method. ...

Strain distribution of Al 1100 was numerically investigated during cyclic expansion extrusion (CEE) process using finite element method (FEM). Die angle, corner fillet radius and die chamber diameter were considered as die parameters and friction factor and number of passes as process parameters. The effects of these parameters were investigated on the effective strain and strain homogeneity in...

This paper studied the deformation mechanisms of sheet metals stamped by rigid punches and deformable dies. Emphasis was placed on the development of elastic plastic zones in the sheet workpieces, on the functions of the die parameters and on their correlations with spring-back. It was found that the reduction of spring-back was due mainly to the interface interaction offered by the dies. The p...
