Abstract: In many machines handling lightweight, flexible sheets, the sheet must transit an open space. Examples include magnetic tape drives, xerographic copiers, and sewing machines. The nonlinear theory ...

Abstract: The study of the dynamic transport of paper, film, and tape is of increasing importance as process speeds increase. In earlier machines, transport velocities were slow enough that inertia loads ...

Abstract: The results of a comprehensive study of photovoltaic module structural support concepts for photovoltaic central power stations and their associated costs are presented. The objective of the study ...
