Analytical Approach to Ballistic Dispersion of Projectile Weapons Based on Variant Launch Velocity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study quantifies the contribution of variant projectile velocity at a gun muzzle to its dispersion at an aim point from an analytical approach. The dispersion was formulated on the basis ...
Design and Analysis of a Sensorless Magnetic Damper
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical method for designing magnetic bearing controllers with no displacement sensors has been developed and laboratory tested. The method was applied to the design of a sensorless magnetic ...
Magnetic Bearing With Rotating Force Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A common attractive type active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) was designed and tested with three parallel feedback control loops. The feedback of the measured AMB journal displacement provides the ...
Improvement of the Performance of Solar Energy or Waste Heat Utilization Systems by Using Phase-Change Slurry as an Enhanced Heat-Transfer Storage Fluid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the benefits of using phase-change slurries as enhanced heat-transfer/storage working fluids in solar energy and waste heat utilization systems. Literature is cited ...
Factors Affecting Nitrite Buildup in Submerged Filter System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The accumulation of the nitrification intermediate, nitrite, is undesirable because of its toxicity to fish. The elevated nitrite concentration in wastewater‐treatment processes significantly increases the amount of chlorine ...
A Gas-Liquid Flowmeter Combining Vertical and Horizontal Pressure Fluctuations Induced by Local Void Fraction Variations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two AC signals generated by two sensors mounted in two elbows at the ends of vertical and horizontal branches of a metering pipe are simultaneously recorded and analyzed. The AC signals are ...
Statistical Data Base for the Biomechanical Properties of the Human Shoulder Complex—II: Passive Resistive Properties Beyond the Shoulder Complex Sinus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In mathematical modeling of multi-segmented articulating total-human-body, there is no doubt that the shoulder complex plays one of the most important roles. However, proper biomechanical passive ...
Statistical Data Base for the Biomechanical Properties of the Human Shoulder Complex—I: Kinematics of the Shoulder Complex
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the last two decades, several multi-segmented mathematical models of the total-human-body have appeared in the literature. While these models can handle very sophisticated load-motion situations, ...
Fan/Foundation Interaction—A Simplified Calculation Procedure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified analysis procedure to provide initial assessment and guidance on fan rotor dynamics including the foundation interaction. For purposes of early-design decision-making ...
Elastic Constants Identification of Composite Materials Using Single Angle-Ply Laminate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method is presented for identification of elastic constants for composite materials using three measured strains of a single angle-ply laminate subjected to tensile testing. In the proposed method, the trial material ...
