this paper concerns the design and analysis, of a ball type continuously variable transmission, (b-cvt). this b-cvt has a simple kinematic structure, and same as a toroidal cvt, transmits power by friction on the contact points between input and output discs, that are connected to each other by balls. after, a brief introduction of our b-cvt structure, the performance and traction efficiency of...

Abstract Parametric vibrations of the single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) are studied in presented work. The equations motion govern geometrically nonlinear oscillations. appearance small effects is analysed due to application nonlocal elasticity theory. approach developed for rectangular simply supported small-scale plate and it employs Bubnov–Galerkin method with a double mode model, which r...

in this work, the steady and laminar mixed convection of nanofluid in horizontal concentric annulus withrotating inner cylinder is investigated numerically. the inner and outer cylinders are kept at constanttemperature ti and to respectively, where ti>to. the annular space is filled with alumina-water nanofluid.the governing equations with the corresponded boundary conditions in the polar coord...

designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. a specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. there are generally three regi...

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...

A highly electrically conductive linear low-density polyethylene/graphene nanoplate composite with segregated structure (s-LLDPE/GN) was prepared by Yongmei Ma and colleagues through an environmentally friendly method. First, GN coated LLDPE granules were aqueous dispersion, gradually drying. SEM images show that has been successfully on the granule surfaces. Then, s-LLDPE/GN composites obtaine...

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...
