This paper presents investigations of two special cases of dynamic valve analysis. These special cases arose in the development of a new type of gas field reciprocating compressor. These special cases were for a moving frame of reference (since the discharge valves were integral with the piston) , and for independent mass damping {sealing/damping elements are modelled separately instead of as "...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to flexural fatigue of Reciproc R25 (VDW, Munich, Germany), WaveOne Primary (VDW, Munich, Germany), Mtwo (Sweden & Martina, Padova, Italy), and Twisted File (TF; SybronEndo, Orange, CA) instruments used in continuous rotation or in 2 different reciprocating motions. METHODS A total of 180 nickel-titanium files from 4 brands mar...

We consider noise-induced reciprocating motion on the nanoscale and its rectification to directed motion using a simple model in which transitions between two fluctuating states occur through two reaction channels with fluctuating transition rates. The fluctuations of states and transition rates arise from equilibrium thermal and external nonthermal noise which is in either case position-depend...

This report introduces a novel technique that allows a safe and predictable canal negotiation, creation of a glide path and canal preparation with reciprocating nickel-titanium or stainless steel engine-driven instruments in canals where the use of rotary and the newly developed reciprocating instruments is contraindicated. In this novel technique, the instruments are used in reciprocating moti...

Reciprocating motion is a widely existing form of mechanical motion in natural environment. In this work we reported a case-encapsulated triboelectric nanogenerator (cTENG) based on sliding electrification to convert reciprocating motion into electric energy. Patterned with multiple sets of grating electrodes and lubricated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanoparticles, the cTENG exported a...

ab initio calculations were employed to investigate nitrogen inversion as a configuration change that can supply an infinitely useful switchable control mechanism for some complex systems. in this paper, design of a new artificial molecular nanohinge is discussed based on nitrogen inversion in which reciprocating motion of substituent in effect of inversion phenomenon, led to an open–close moti...

instruments have been traditionally used with a continuous rotary motion, but more recently, a new approach to the use of nickel-titanium instruments in a reciprocating movement has been introduced by Yared (2004). The clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) rotations used by Yared were four-tenths and two-tenths of a circle respectively, and the rotational speed utilized was 400 rpm. The co...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate apical transportation and centering ability of single-fi le instruments, waveone primary, with full rotation versus reciprocation movement using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) analysis in curved mesiobuccal (mb) root canal of human mandibular molars. materials and methods: thirty mb canals of mandibular molars were randomly divided into tw...

According to NMR evidence the metal-mediated sandwich assemblies of porphyrins 2 and 3 undergo in solution a thermally driven motion that resembles that of a stepper: the spontaneous rotational motion of the pyridyl rings is converted into a reciprocating linear motion of the porphyrins.

Theoretical Analysis on the profile of slider in reciprocating compressor has been presented based on the hydrodynamic lubrication. Theoretical Analysis calculates fluid film pressure, attitude angle, frictional force, and minimum film thickness in normal condition for comparing two different profiles of slider. The calculated results show that the profile of slider plays an important role in t...
