An analytical method is proposed for estimating the steady-state punch pressure for three-dimensional backward extrusion (or piercing) of complicated internally shaped tubes from circular billets. A kinematically admissible velocity field is derived to formulate an upper-bound solution using velocity transformation and mapping function. The configuration of deforming boundary surfaces are determined by minimizing the extrusion power with respect to some chosen parameters. Experiments are carried out with commercially pure aluminum billets for internally shaped tubes at various reductions of area by using different sizes of shaped punches, such as square and regular hexagons. It is shown that the theoretical predictions for extrusion load are in good agreement with the experimental values.

In conventional spinning of cones, the cone-wall thickness variation was studied using blanks of 1100-0 commercially pure aluminum sheet of 0.050-in. thickness. The results revealed that the radial stress induced in the unspun flange is the major cause of nonuniform wall thickness of spun cones. The theoretical tangential force component was derived by use of the deformation energy method. Qualitative agreement was found between the theoretical and the experimental values of tangential force component in the underspinning conditions.

A novel multiaxial three-dimensional woven preform and the weaving technique have been developed in this study. The preform exhibits remarkable designs, which is formed by multiple layers of different yarn sets, including bias (+bias/−bias), warp, and filling, and all layers are locked by Z-yarns These layers are arranged in a rectangular fashion and the layer number and the position of bias layer can be determined by the end-use requirements. A weaving process and machine are proposed to produce the preform. The weaving technique enables the insertion of many warp layers between two opposite bias layers. The microstructure of the preform was also studied. Microscopic evidence of the microstructure reveals that the cross-sections of Z-yarn are variable along its central axis due to the lateral compression forces of adjacent yarns from different directions. On the basis of microscopic observation, a unit cell geometry model of multiaxial three-dimensional woven preform is established, and a good agreement has been obtained between the theoretical and experimental values of the structural parameters of woven composite samples.

Thermal therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia requires accurate prediction of the temperature distribution induced by the heating within the prostatic tissue. In this study, the Pennes bioheat transfer equation was used to model the transient heat transfer inside the canine prostate during transurethral microwave thermal therapy. Incorporating the specific absorption rate of microwave energy in tissue, a closed-form analytical solution was obtained. Good agreement was found between the theoretical predictions and in-vivo experimental results. Effects of blood perfusion and the cooling at the urethral wall on the temperature rise were investigated within the prostate during heating. The peak intraprostatic temperatures attained by application of 5, 10, or 15 W microwave power were predicted to be 38°C,41°C, and 44°C. Results from this study will help optimize the thermal dose that can be applied to target tissue during the therapy. [S0148-0731(00)01004-9]

Vibratory pressures exerted on cylindrical and flat-plate boundaries due to a model propeller were measured at three advance coefficients. A number of "free-space" measurements also were made. All measurements were made by driving a propeller past fixed pressure gages. This method yielded curves of pressure changes which are entirely free from background noise. The magnitudes of the free-space pressures were found to be larger than one half the corresponding magnitudes measured by gages mounted flush in a large plate at equal clearances from the propeller. By postulating that the finite area of the gage diaphragm produces a partial image of the propeller (and hence a larger pressure than that in free space) an experimental procedure was devised for correcting for this finite-area effect yielding results in good agreement with theory. A theoretical treatment of this effect of finite gage size is given in Appendix 2. The decay of maximum amplitudes of vibrating pressures is shown by means of three-dimensional plots. The pressures were found to become vanishingly small within approximately one propeller diameter fore and aft of the center of the propeller. The comparison with theoretically calculated pressures and forces gives very close agreement for free-space pressures and reasonable agreement for forces on a cylindrical surface. The agreement of both pressures and forces with theory is excellent for operation near the design advance ratio. A strong plea is made for further experiments with ship models in an effort to develop design criteria for practical application.

An empirical riblet model for manufactured V-shaped and trapezoidal riblets which is suitable for turbomachinery application is presented. The implementation of the riblet effect employs a correlation-based correction for the damping of the specific dissipation rate ω in the vicinity of the wall which has been previously presented by other researchers. In the current paper, the correlations are extended into the drag-increasing regime and are extended to account for the effect of misalignment of the riblets relative to the flow and for the effect of adverse pressure gradients. In order to account for the latter in modern, massive parallel Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) codes, a local Clauser parameter has been newly derived. The model is implemented in a three-dimensional (3D) turbomachinery design code and validated with flat plate measurement data and a NACA6510 compressor cascade. The predictions of the experimental values are in very good agreement with the experimental data, showing the capability of the model for designing riblet structured turbomachinery blading.

A simplified method of using four-hole probes to measure three-dimensional flow-fields is presented. This method is similar to an existing calibration and application procedure used for five-hole probes. The new method is demonstrated for two four-hole probes of different geometry. These four-hole probes and a five-hole probe are used to measure the turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate. The results from the three probes are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The major discrepancies occur near the surface of the flat plate and are attributed to wall vicinity and velocity gradient effects.

High-resolution, direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are carried out to study the energy spectrum in the dissipation range. An energy spectrum of the form A(k/kd)α exp[−βk/kd] is confirmed. The possible values of the parameters α and β, as well as their dependence on Reynolds numbers and length scales, are investigated, showing good agreement with recent theoretical predictions. A ‘bottleneck’-type effect is reported at k/kd≈4, exhibiting a possible transition from near-dissipation to far-dissipation.

We study binary axicons of period 4, 6, and 8 μm fabricated by photolithography with a 1 μm resolution, 500 nm depth, and 4 mm diameter. Near-field diffraction focal spots varying in diameter from 3.5λ to 4.5λ (for the axicon of period T=4 μm) and from 5λ to 8λ (for the axicon with T=8 μm) are experimentally found on the optical axis at a distance of up to 40 μm from the axicon for the wavelength λ=0.532 μm. The first focal spot is found at distance 2 μm (T=4 μm), with the period of the focal spots being 2 μm (T=4 μm) and 4 μm (T=8 μm). Diffraction of linearly polarized plane and diverging waves is simulated using FullWAVE (RSoft) and a proprietary program BOR-FDTD, which implement finite-difference schemes to solve three-dimensional Maxwell's equations in the Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates. The numerically simulated values for diameters of the near-field focal spots for the axicon of period T=4 μm are in good agreement with the experimental values.

A general procedure for the separation of ploughing forces from shearing forces on the shear plane is outlined. The first part of the paper deals with the experimental separation of these forces using the predictive machining theory developed by Oxley. The forces are decomposed by first separating the shear forces from the total forces and then employing an iterative procedure to calculate the normal forces on the shear plane. All analysis is conducted for three dimensional cutting. The second part of the paper develops a procedure to model the ploughing forces by accounting for the change in geometry with flank wear. The procedure uses the indentation models along with values of tool and workpiece material constants to determine the indentation force. Models for the indentation depth are developed from a few designed experiments and the predictions by the established models are then compared with experimental results obtained for different cutting conditions. The theoretical predictions of the ploughing forces agree closely with results of the experiments. Additional analysis using ceramic tools also show reasonably good agreement between predictions and experimental measurements.

In this paper, a novel autonomous RC chaotic jerk circuit is introduced and the corresponding dynamics is systematically investigated. The circuit consists of opamps, resistors, capacitors and a pair of semiconductor diodes connected in anti-parallel to synthesize the nonlinear component necessary for chaotic oscillations. The model is described by a continuous time three-dimensional autonomous system with hyperbolic sine nonlinearity, and may be viewed as a linear transformation of model MO15 previously introduced in [Sprott, 2010]. The structure of the equilibrium points and the discrete symmetries of the model equations are discussed. The bifurcation analysis indicates that chaos arises via the usual paths of period-doubling and symmetry restoring crisis. One of the key contributions of this work is the finding of a region in the parameter space in which the proposed (“elegant”) jerk circuit exhibits the unusual and striking feature of multiple attractors (i.e. coexistence of four disconnected periodic and chaotic attractors). Laboratory experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
