Fatigue information has been reliable in predicting wire critical structural integrity. The aim of this study is to expound on the characterization technique of rotary beam fatigue testing RBT . By alternating tension and compression stress states through RBT, it is possible to determine the life expectancy of Nitinol monofilament round wires. Fatigue testing has been employed to characterize t...

AIM To compare cyclic fatigue resistance of two geometrically similar nickel-titanium instruments, used in conditions similar to clinical use in reciprocating and continuous rotary motion. METHODOLOGY Four groups of eighteen instruments each, Reciproc(®) files sizes ISO 25 and 40 (R25 and R40) and Mtwo(®) files sizes ISO 25 and 40 (M25 and M40), were tested in reciprocating and continuous rot...

The paper introduces virtual manufacturing application in the Fields Cultivate Machines and mainly discusses the model-building of rotary-cultivate part, physical model and mathematical model included. With the model, the rotary knife is optimized, the force on the bend part is decreased, and therefore, the service life is prolonged. At the same time, with dynamic analysis software Adams, the m...

A significant new development of the wave method for structural system identification and heath monitoring of buildings is presented. Previously, shear beam models were fitted, and changes in the identified equivalent shear wave velocities were monitored. These models are more appropriate for frame structures, which deform predominantly in shear. In this study, it is demonstrated, for the first...

In this research a fuzzy model is developed for a rotary dryer. It is applied to the pilot plant rotary dryer located in the Control Engineering Laboratory at Oulu University. Firstly, a literature review looking at the current situation of fuzzy modelling and comparison of different methods is done. One modelling method is then applied to the building of the model from data. The rule parameter...

Self-induced rotary sloshing caused by an upward off-centered jet in a cylindrical container is numerically and experimentally investigated. Unlike the regular jet-induced rotary sloshing, the present off-centered case could contain components of higher fluctuation in the surface wave and the amplitude exhibits different values in various view angles. A simple geometrical model for the amplitud...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three methods in removal of Resilon/new Epiphany self-etch (SE) soft resin endodontic obturation system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty extracted single rooted human teeth were prepared for endodontic treatment and obturated with Resilon/Epiphany SE. The roots were randomly divided into three groups; group 1 roots were retre...

MATERIALS ...

This paper refers to the development of new type rotary compressors suspended with twin springs in a lo~ s1de pressure shell. We compared several types of compress~rs, for example h1gh side pressure shell type, low side pressure shell type, external-suspended type, internal-suspended type, and so on, from the viewpoint of noise reduction, vibration control and transient phenomena such as start-...
