The stability constraints of a two-dimensional static human force exertion capability model (2DHFEC) were evaluated with subjects of varying anthropometry and strength capabilities performing manual exertions. The biomechanical model comprehensively estimated human force exertion capability under sagittally symmetric static conditions using constraints from three classes: stability, joint muscle strength, and coefficient of friction. Experimental results showed the concept of stability must be considered with joint muscle strength capability and coefficient of friction in predicting hand force exertion capability. Information was gained concerning foot modeling parameters as they affect whole-body stability. Findings indicated that stability limits should be placed approximately 37 % the ankle joint center to the posterior-most point of the foot and 130 % the distance from the ankle joint center to the maximal medial protuberance (the ball of the foot). 2DHFEC provided improvements over existing models, especially where horizontal push/pull forces create balance concerns.

Abstract It is shown that the two interactive strength parameters in the Tsai-Wu tensor polynomial strength criterion for fiber composites can be derived in terms of the uniaxial or non-interacting strength parameters if the composite does not fail under practical levels of hydrostatic pressure or equal transverse compression. Thus the required number of parameters is reduced from seven to five and all five of the remaining strength terms are easily determined using standard test methods. The derived interactive parameters fall within the stability limits of the theory, yet they lead to open failure surfaces in the compressive stress quadrant. The assumptions used to derive the interactive parameters were supported by measurements for the effect of hydrostatic pressure and unequal transverse compression on the behavior of a typical carbon fiber composite.

We develop a simple model in which longitudinal, compressible, unsteady heat transfer between heater and gas is computed in the small-Mach-number limit. This calculation is used to determine the transfer function of the heater, which plays an important role in the stability limits of the thermoacoustic instability of the Rijke tube. The transfer function is determined analytically in the limit of small expansion parameter γ, and numerically for γ of order unity. In the case ρμ/cp = constant, an analytical solution can be found.

Catastrophic tool failure due to the low flexural stiffness of the micro-tool is a major concern for micromanufacturing industries. This issue can be addressed using high rotational speed, but the gyroscopic couple becomes prominent at high rotational speeds for micro-tools affecting the dynamic stability of the process. This study uses the multiple degrees of freedom (MDOF) model of the cutting tool to investigate the gyroscopic effect in machining. Hopf bifurcation theory is used to understand the long-term dynamic behavior of the system. A numerical scheme based on the linear multistep method is used to solve the time-periodic delay differential equations. The stability limits have been predicted as a function of the spindle speed. Higher tool deflections occur at higher spindle speeds. Stability lobe diagram shows the conservative limits at high rotational speeds for the MDOF model. The predicted stability limits show good agreement with the experimental limits, especially at high rotational speeds.

This work presents an optimization procedure to find bearing profiles that improve stability margins of rotor-bearing systems. The profile is defined by control points and cubic splines. Stability margins are estimated using bearing dynamic coefficients, and obtained solutions are analyzed as a function of the number of control points and of the Sommerfeld number at optimization. Results show the feasibility of finding shapes for the bearing that significantly improve the stability margins. Some of the obtained solutions overcome the stability margins of conventional bearings, such as the journal bearing and preloaded bearings with 0.5 and 0.67 preload. A time domain simulation of a flexible shaft rotating system supported by such bearings corroborates the results.

ABSTRACTA composite solid state electrochemical device, with (Gd1-xCax)2Ti2O7 serving as the electrolyte and Gd2(Ti1-xMox)2O7 (GT-Mo) as the anode has recently been proposed. The latter exhibits high levels of mixed conduction under reducing atmospheres, but decomposes at high Po2. We have recently succeeded in extending the stability limits of the GT-Mo to higher Po2 with the addition of Mn. In this study, we report on the conductivity and stability of Gd2((Mo13Mn2/3)xTi1-x)207 (GMMT) as a function of Po2, T, and composition utilizing impedance spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. The addition of Mn extends the stability region of the material to Po2 = 1 atm with little change in the magnitude of the conductivity. Defect models explaining the dependence of the conductivity on oxygen partial pressure are presented. Preliminary results from the use of an electronic blocking sandwich cell used to isolate the ionic conductivity of GMMT are also presented.

Process damping generated between the tool flank face and the wavy finish workpiece surface has a non-negligible effect on cutting dynamics and chatter stability, especially at low cutting speeds, resulting in higher stability limits. In modeling of process damping, the calculation of extruded volume is one of the most critical challenges, especially in machining with honed tools due to the complex and time-variable contact condition between the arc cutting edge and the finite amplitude wave surface. In this study, a semi-analytical method with high computational efficiency is proposed to calculate the extruded volume in cutting with honed tools. Based on this method, we construct the stability lobes under the condition of finite vibration amplitude accurately and efficiently, which overcomes the limitation of analytical methods based on the assumption of small amplitude vibrations and the low computational efficiency of numerical method. The predicted cutting stability is verified against both the experimental results and the time-domain simulation results.

The potential for miniaturization of analytical devices made possible by advances in micro-fabrication technology is driving demand for reliable micropumps. A wide variety of micropumps exist with many types of actuating mechanisms. One such mechanism is electrohydrodynamic (EHD) forces which rely upon Coulomb forces on free charges and/or polarization forces on induced dipoles within the liquid to induce fluid motion. EHD has been used to pump liquid phases and to displace gas–liquid interfaces for enhanced boiling heat transfer as well as to displace gas/vapor bubbles. A novel concept for using EHD polarization forces to deflect a stationary meniscus in order to compress and pump a gaseous phase is described. The pumping mechanism consists in alternative compression of two gas volumes by continuous deflection of the two pinned menisci of an entrapped liquid slug in an electric field. Using the Maxwell stress relations, the electric field strength necessary to operate the pump is determined. The operational limits are determined by analyzing the stability limits of the two menisci from inertial and viscous standpoints, corroborated with the natural frequencies of the gas–liquid interfaces.
