The problem of failures in induction motors is a large concern due to its significant influence over industrial production. Therefore a large number of detection techniques were presented to avoid this problem. This paper presents the comparison results of induction motor rotor fault detection using three methods: motor current signature analysis (MCSA), surface vibration (SV), and instantaneou...

By using laser methods to prepare specific quantum states of gas-phase nitric oxide molecules, we examined the role of vibrational motion in electron transfer to a molecule from a metal surface free from the complicating influence of solvation effects. The signature of the electron transfer process is a highly efficient multiquantum vibrational relaxation event, where the nitrogen oxide loses h...

An integrated and automated smart structures approach for structural health monitoring applications is presented. This approach, called Active Damage Interrogation (ADI), utilizes an array of piezoelectric transducers attached to or embedded within the structure for both actuation and sensing. The ADI system actively interrogates the structure via broadband excitation of multiple actuators acro...

Generally speaking, a vibration system consists of three parts: vibration resource, vibration transfer path, and vibration receiver. Based on the dynamic sensitivity technique, this paper proposes a method for evaluating the contribution of each vibration transfer path to the dynamic response of the vibration receiver. Nonlinear stiffness is an important factor in causing the nonlinearity of vi...

Abstract Recently, prognostic and health management (PHM) has become a prominent field in modern industry. The rotate vector (RV) reducer is one of the widely used mechanical components industrial systems, specifically robots. RV known for its unique characteristics small size, efficient speed transmission, high torsion. prone to several kinds faults, due continuous operation an robot. To keep ...

Ultrafast infrared transient absorption spectroscopy is used to study the photoinduced bimolecular electron transfer reaction between perylene in the first singlet excited state and 1,4-dicyanobenzene in acetonitrile and dichloromethane. Following vibrational marker modes on both donor and acceptor sides in real time provides direct insight into the structural dynamics during the reaction. A ba...

manual citrus harvesting is commonly performing hard, expensive and time consuming. in this study, a factorial experiment with a completely randomized design in three replications was performed to find out the effect of frequency (three levels of 5, 7.5 and 10 hz), vibration time (three levels of 10, 15 and 20 seconds) on harvesting capacity and losses of thomson cultivar of orange. the results...

improper transportation of agricultural materials causes mechanical damage to them. the damage isdepended to the physical and mechanical properties of the product and properties of the appliedforce. vibration generated by vehicles during road transportation causes shake the product, contactit with carrier bin and other components, tissues deformation and damage to product. this researchwas cond...

whole body vibration can deteriorate health bringing about or back pain or spinal column injury, resulted from continuing exposure to vibration. also exposure to vibration can cause disorder in central nervous system and adversely influence vascular and skeletal systems. in this research, the vibration of universal 650m tractor seat and its effect on the operator in five levels of engine speeds...

When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
