Abstract The collision of a disk with a rigid surface is analysed in this paper assuming that the disk slides throughout the collision at glancing angles or grips the surface at other angles of incidence. Experimental results are presented for an ice hockey puck and a plastic disk, showing that there is no rolling involved, as assumed in previous studies. Measurements are presented of the outgoing speed, angle and spin as a function of the angle of incidence, and the results are described in terms of the normal and tangential coefficients of restitution plus the coefficient of sliding friction. The experiment would be suitable for use in a student laboratory.

Results of study on the performance of 0.4 mm mild steel plate when impacted by 4.5 mm diameter steel ogive-shaped projectile at 45o, 60o (oblique impact) and 90 o (normal impact) angles of attack are presented. The projectiles were fired at highest velocity using air riffle gun. The target-holding fixture was located at a distance of 2 m from the gun. Experimental results show that steel plate provides protection at 45o and 60o obliquity, but fails to provide protection at angle of attack of 90o (normal impact)

Abstract In this paper, the finite element analysis of circular wedge connections is described, and conclusions for the performance of the connection are derived. In the foreground of the examinations are stresses and deformations while tightening of the connection. Starting with the general structural performance, the influences on power transmission like slope, number of wedges, coefficient of sliding friction and outer hub diameter are discussed. An analytic function to describe the gap pressure within the tightened joint is introduced and rates to explain the problem of centering of circular wedge connections are shown. Finally two concepts for dimensioning are presented and recommendations for application of this connection are given.

This paper is concerned with the response of long, relatively thin-walled tubes bent into the plastic range in the presence of axial tension. The work is motivated by the design needs of pipelines installed and operated in deep offshore waters. The problem is studied through a combination of experiment and analysis. In the experiments, long metal tubes were bent over a smooth, circular, rigid surface (mandrel). Bending of the tubes was achieved by shear and axial end loads. The experimental arrangement is such that a significant section of the test specimen is loaded and deformed in an axially uniform fashion. The ovalization induced in the specimen was measured as a function of the axial load in the tube for two mandrel radii. A two-dimensional numerical simulation of the problem has been developed and validated against the experimental results. This analysis was used to conduct a parametric study of the effect of tension on the ovalization induced in a long tube during bending.

Experimental results are presented from a series of tests on axisymmetric, inherently compensated, air thrust bearings which had one compliant surface. The results demonstrate that in general compliant surface bearings have greater load capacities than equivalent rigid surface bearings. The dependence of load, flow, and stability on the nature of the compliant layer is also shown. Comparisons with the load capacities predicted theoretically by Pirvics and Castelli show agreement in the range of most practical interest, that is when the load advantage vis-a`-vis rigid bearings is greatest.
