in this paper, the effects of transverse cracks on rotating shaft were studied. according to earlier works, crack shaft failure decrease the critical speed of the shaft and also exhibit a nonlinear vibration behaviour leading to increases the amplitude of 1x and 2x harmonics (first and second order of rotational speed in torsional vibration). this suggests that the application of order analysis...

Robots promise to enhance minimally-invasive surgery, but flexion of the thin instrument shaft introduces error into models of the robot kinematics. Visual or electromagnetic tracking of the instrument tip provides correct forward kinematics, but uncertainty in shaft bending and port location leaves residual errors in inverse kinematics. These errors can cause incorrect motions that preclude th...

In this paper torsion of hollow Poroelastic shaft with Elliptical section is developed. Using the boundary equation scheme. It looks for a stress function where satisfied Poisson equation and vanishes on boundary. It also analyzed stress function and warping displacement for the hollow elliptical section in Poroelastic shaft. At the end, the result of elastic and poroelastic shaft in warping di...

In this study, an analytical model is developed to study crack breathing behavior under the effect of crack location and unbalance force. Crack breathing behavior is determined using effectual bending angle by studying the transient change in closed area of the crack. The status of the crack of a balanced shaft is symmetrical about shaft rotational angle and the duration of each crack status re...

external fluted feed rolls are commonly used in grain drills. the fluted feed roll meters a volume of seeds and does not singulate the seeds as do the precision planters; therefore, there will be inherent variation in the number of seeds delivered per unit of time. this research was conducted to investigate the effect of seed meter drive shaft and ground speeds and outlet positions in a grain d...

Background Hair is an ectodermal structure, and its formation is regulated by master genes important in embryology. Hair shaft consists of three major regions: the medulla, cortex and cuticle. Hair shaft abnormality will divide structural hair abnormalities into two broad categories - those associated with increased hair fragility and those not associated with increased hair fragility. We condu...

OBJECTIVES This study compared the mechanical properties of various instruments for canal exploration and glide-path preparations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The buckling resistance, bending stiffness, ultimate torsional strength, and fracture angle under torsional load were compared for C+ file (CP, Dentsply Maillefer), M access K-file (MA, Dentsply Maillefer), Mani K-file (MN, Mani), and NiTiFle...

In this study, adhesions on individual filopodial shafts were shown to control veil (lamellar) advance and to be modulated by guidance cues. Adhesions were detected in individual filopodia of sensory growth cones using optical recordings, adhesion markers, and electron microscopy. Veils readily advanced along filopodia lacking shaft adhesions but rarely advanced along filopodia displaying shaft...
