advantages and disadvantages of using “stokes parameters” in exploration of inertia-gravity wave properties are discussed in this paper. the survey is carried out on an inertia-gravity wave event (igws in what follows) that occurred over iran from 7 to 9 february 2012. applying this technique for investigation of atmospheric igws was recommended by vincent and fritts (1987) and then developed b...

An e®ective inertia of a serially jointed chain of bodies, such as a robotic arm, is often referred to as the articulated or operational space inertia. Six principal axes and six principal values of inertia are proposed to decouple articulated inertia into geometric and constitutive properties respectively. In the case of a single rigid body, these concepts naturally coincide with familiar desc...

The Stirling cycle and related terminology is defined. Selected contemporary research involving the cycle in environmentally friendly applications is cited. Three conventional engine configurations that utilize a reciprocating power piston and crank shaft (the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) are characterized, in terms of minimum number of components, advantages, and disadvantages. A new type of Stirli...

Wildlife–aircraft collisions (wildlife strikes) with civilian and military aircraft pose notable risks and economic losses. The 4 military services within the U.S. Department of Defense maintain records regarding wildlife strikes with military aircraft. Although rotary-wing aircraft operations comprise important mission components within all 4 military services, no assessment of wildlife strike...

The Twistcar vehicle is a classic example of nonholonomic dynamical system. model consists two rigid links connected by an actuated rotary joint and supported wheeled axles, where constraints are assumed to impose no skidding the wheels. Recent experimental measurements conducted with robotic prototype have shown disagreements previous theoretical analyses. In particular, significant has been o...

Abstract Critical velocities of a two-layer composite tube under uniform internal pressure moving at constant velocity are analytically determined. The formulation is based on Love–Kirchhoff thin shell theory that incorporates the rotary inertia and material anisotropy. consists two perfectly bonded axisymmetric circular cylindrical layers dissimilar materials, which can be orthotropic, transve...

Having builtin compression process, monotooth rotary compressor can reach larger discharge pressure with higher efficiency and lower discharge temperature when compared with Roots blower. So it is a good alternative for Roots blower used in various fields. In order to put this kind of compressor into market as soon as possible, theoretical and experimental study of the monotooth rotary compress...
