The vibration model of moving membrane with variable density distribution is established, and the density distribution of the moving membrane varies along the lateral direction. The transverse vibration differential equations of moving membrane are established based on D’Alembert’s principle and discretized by using the differential quadrature method (DQM). The relationships of the first three dimensionless complex frequencies between dimensionless speed, density coefficient, and tension ratio of the membrane are analyzed by numerical calculation. The effects of the density coefficient and the tension ratio on transverse vibration characteristics of the membrane are investigated. The relationship between density coefficient and critical speed is obtained. The numerical results show that the density coefficient and the tension ratio have important influence on the stability of moving membrane. So the study provides a theoretical basis for improving the working stability of the membrane in the high-speed printing process.

Railway track retention standards in Ukraine do not take into account theconstruction of the subrail base, but regulate one for all types maximum dangerous value of the trackwidth, which was changed from 1546 mm to 1548 mm without any justification of scientific researchor explanations of the effects of tolerances the width of the rail track and the wheel track, which ingeneral at that time were not fully investigated but taking into account the emergence anddevelopment of new scientific problems associated with the emergence of intensive lateral wear ofrails and ridges of locomotive and wagon wheels. The deterministic dependences of lateralimpressions of the P65 type rail thread head on the simultaneous influence of vertical and horizontalforces for the newly installed repair profiles of UZ rolling stock on the basis of previously performedexperimental and theoretical studies were investigated. The results allow at this stage of research todetermine and calculate the practical values of the maximum dangerous width of the track, in whichthe subrail base consists of reinforced concrete sleepers and separate rail fasteners, which are usedboth on conventional highways with mixed traffic and on high-speed lines UZ.The article establishes the need to take into account new factors influencing the dangerouswidth of the rail track with intermediate rail fasteners of separate type depending on the load stress of sections and new repair profiles of rolling stock, as well as wear processes of intermediate railfasteners type KБ and its elements on the appearance of elastic backlash in the lateral direction fromthe influence of the guide wheels of the rolling stock. The recommended value of the maximum widthof the rail track for areas where service or emergency braking is applied - 1550 mm, taking intoaccount that the contact of the wheel and the rail is not at a point, but on an ellipse. The establishednorm of the maximum width of a rail track allows to define economic efficiency of introduction in theconditions of operation of a track in curved sections of a track of small radii with limited use of themaximum admissible lateral wear (15 mm) of a head of a rail thread provided that the normal-forcedentry of rolling stock carts.

A levitation system based on sidewall electrodynamic suspension (EDS) is considered for a capsule vehicle, which is a next-generation high-speed transportation system currently being studied. This levitation system does not require controlling of the gap between the guideway and the vehicle on which the superconducting electromagnet is mounted. However, when the vehicle is operated in a levitated state, the ride comfort is worse than that of the levitation system based on electromagnetic suspension (EMS), making it necessary to develop methods that can ensure good riding comfort. In addition, because the EDS system is complex and nonlinear with a combination of electromagnetics and mechanical dynamics, it is complicated to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the capsule vehicle, and the corresponding numerical analysis is time-consuming. Therefore, to easily understand the running dynamics of a capsule vehicle in the sidewall EMS system, the magnetic suspension characteristics corresponding to the primary suspension are simply modeled by considering the levitation stiffness in the vertical direction and the guidance stiffness in the lateral direction, similar to that in the case of the mechanical suspension. In this study, mathematical models of the levitation and guidance stiffnesses with respect to the speed and position of a vehicle body running at high speeds in a levitated state in the sidewall EDS system were derived for three design proposals of the levitation coil. The dynamic behavior of the vehicle based on the three design proposals was investigated by simulating a capsule vehicle model with 15 degrees of freedom.

Three-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor instability, induced by accelerating a small volume of water down a vertical tube using air pressure, is investigated. Two geometries are studied: a 15.875 cm circular tube and a 12.7 cm square tube. Runs were made with initial disturbances in the form of standing waves forced by shaking the test section in a lateral direction. Accelerations ranging from 5 to 10 times gravitational acceleration and wavenumbers from 1 cm−1 to 8 cm−1 are studied. The resulting instability was recorded and later analysed using high-speed motion picture photography. Measurements of the growth rate are found to agree well with linear theory. In addition, good qualitative agreement between photographs and three-dimensional surface plots of the weakly nonlinear solution of Part 1 of this series (Jacobs & Catton 1988) is obtained.

This paper presents the first experimental and numerical work of film effectiveness performance for a novel film cooling method with an arrowhead-shaped hole geometry. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hole geometry improves the film effectiveness on both suction and pressure surface of a generic turbine airfoil. Film effectiveness data for a row of the holes are compared with that of fan-shaped holes at the same inclination angle of 35° to the surface on a large-scale airfoil model at engine representative Reynolds number and Mach number in a high speed tunnel with moderately elevated temperature mainstream flow. The film effectiveness data are collected using pressure sensitive paint (PSP). Numerical results show that the coolant film with the proposed hole geometry remains well attached to the surface and diffuses in the lateral direction in comparison with the conventional laidback fan-shaped holes for coolant to mainstream blowing ratios of 0.6 to 3.5.

High-speed trains serving in a crosswind region are bearing more significant safety risks. Based on the three-dimensional (3D) Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) turbulence model, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) computational work was conducted in the present study to predict the transient aerodynamic load of the train. The transient aerodynamic load was then employed as the input of the dynamic system to perform a dynamic analysis of running safety. Noticeable changes in the aerodynamic coefficients were found when the train entered and left the crosswind region due to the dramatic change in flow patterns. The original posture also provided significant changes to the train’s aerodynamic responses. A slightly larger maximum derailment coefficient was found on the first bogie of the leading car with a preset posture. There were obvious differences in the displacement characteristics of the three cars in the lateral direction and the rolling rotation, and the magnitude of the posture changes decreased from the leading car to the trailing car. The train with the consideration of posture was proven to withstand weaker crosswinds.

A multiplier is one of the main units for digital signal processing and communication systems. In this paper, a high speed and low complexity multiplier is designed on the basis of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), which is considered promising nanotechnology. We focus on Vedic multiplier architectures according to Vedic mathematics from ancient Indian sculptures. In fact, an adder is an important block in the design of almost all types of multipliers and a ripple carry adder is used to design simple multiplier implementations. However, a high-speed multi-bit multiplier requires high-speed adder owing to carry propagation. Cell-interaction-based QCA adders have better improvements over conventional majority-gate-based adders. Therefore, a two-bit Vedic multiplier is proposed in QCA and it is used to implement a four-bit form of the multiplier. The proposed architecture has a lower cell count and area compared to other existing structures. Moreover, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed design is sustainable and can be used to realize complex circuit designs for QCA communication networks.

When small particles like, flour, pollen, etc., contact an air-liquid interface, they disperse rapidly in the lateral direction. Using direct numerical simulation (DNS) we showed that the rapid dispersion is due to the fact that the capillary force pulls particles into the interface causing them to accelerate to a large velocity. The vertical motion of a particle during its adsorption causes a radially-outward lateral flow on the interface that causes nearby particles to move away. The goal of this study is to experimentally analyze the reasons for the rapid dispersion of particles when they are simultaneously adsorbed at a two-fluid interface. Specifically, we will analyze the effect of particle size on the oscillatory behavior of a single particle, as it is being trapped at an air-water interface. The diameter of a particle will be varied between 300–850 μm. Our experimental setup consists of a high speed camera with a resolution of 512×512 pixel and the recording speed up to 3000 frames per second which is connected to a 12X microscope. The camera outputs are analyzed to determine the frequency and amplitude of oscillation during adsorption. The measured amplitudes and frequencies for the micro glass spheres used in the experiment were found to be in qualitative match with the DNS results.
