Abstract In this presentation we will report on joint efforts with D.J. Inman and his colleagues at MSL, SUNY at Buffalo, to develop viable models for the analysis and control of elastic structures exhibiting coupled torsional and flexural vibrations. A model for coupled torsion and bending is developed which incorporates Kelvin Voigt damping and warping. Approximation techniques are introduced and preliminary numerical results are discussed. Experimental data is presented and used to test our computational results.

Lack of specificity and subsequent therapeutic effectiveness of antimicrobial and antitumoral drugs is a common difficulty in therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate, both by experimental and computational methods, the antitumoral and antimicrobial properties of a series of synthesized imidazole-pyridine derivatives. Interaction with three targets was discussed: Dickerson-Drew dodecamer (PDB id 2ADU), G-quadruplex DNA string (PDB id 2F8U) and DNA strain in complex with dioxygenase (PDB id 3S5A). Docking energies were computed and represented graphically. On them, a QSAR model was developed in order to further investigate the structure-activity relationship. Results showed that synthesized compounds have antitumoral and antimicrobial properties. Computational results agreed with the experimental data.

The diffusion and the shell progressive models of deactivation caused by irreversible chemisorption of a catalytic poison are presented for a single catalyst pellet. The method for solution of the model equations is proposed. The numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained by measuring concentration and temperature changes due to thiophene poisoning in benzene hydrogenation over a nickel-alumina catalyst.

Collecting System

In this paper, we demonstrate how to reduce the noise level of expanded air from pneumatic tools. Instead of a muffler, we propose the expanded collecting system, where the air expands through the pneumatic tube and expansion collector. We have elaborated a mathematical model which illustrates the dynamics of the air flow, as well as the acoustic pressure at the end of the tube. The computational results were compared with experimental data to check the air dynamics and sound pressure. Moreover, the study presents the methodology of noise measurement generated in a pneumatic screwdriver in a quiet back room and on a window-fitting stand in a production hall. In addition, we have performed noise measurements for the pneumatic screwdriver and the pneumatic screwdriver on an industrial scale. These measurements prove the noise reduction of the pneumatic tools when the expanded collecting system is used. When the expanded collecting system was applied to the screwdriver, the measured Sound Pressure Level (SPL) decreased from 87 to 80 dB(A).

Flexural Vibrations

The bending by uniform lateral loading, buckling by two-dimensional hydrostatic pressure, and the flexural vibrations of simply supported polygonal plates are investigated. The method of meeting the boundary conditions at discrete points, together with the Marcus membrane analog [1], is found to be very advantageous. Numerical examples include the calculation of the deflections and moments, and buckling loads of triangular square, and hexagonal plates. A special technique is then given, whereby the boundary conditions are exactly satisfied along one edge, and an example of the buckling of an isosceles, right-angled triangle plate is analyzed. Finally, the frequency equation for the flexural vibrations of simply supported polygonal plates is shown to be the same as that for buckling under hydrostatic pressure, and numerical results can be written by analogy. All numerical results agree well with the exact solutions, where the latter are known.

Les Model

Velocity fluctuations in a mixing T-junction were simulated in FLUENT using large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulent flow model with sub-grid scale (SGS) Smagorinsky–Lilly (SL) model. The normalized mean and root mean square velocities are used to describe the time-averaged velocities and the velocities fluctuation intensities. Comparison of the numerical results with experimental data shows that the LES model is valid for predicting the flow of mixing in a T-junction junction. The numerical results reveal the velocity distributions and fluctuations are basically symmetrical and the fluctuation at the upstream of the downstream of the main duct is stronger than that at the downstream of the downstream of the main duct.

Abstract The primary objectives of this study are (1) to validate the hardware design and control methodologies for preserving the thermo-mechanical integrity of a launch clutch emulating a torque converter and (2) to develop a simple, control oriented clutch-temperature model that may act as a virtual thermocouple in the processor of an automobile for real-time clutch-temperature predictions. In a dynamometer test cell, a Ford CD4E transaxle is instrumented with a thermocouple-based telemetry system to investigate clutch thermal characteristics during engagements, neutral idle, single and repeated launching, torsional isolation, and hill holding. A nonlinear, SIMULINK™-based model for estimating temperature is developed. The results from the simulations are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper a mathematical model that describes macrophage infiltration into avascular tumours is presented. The qualitative accuracy of the model is assessed by comparing numerical results with independent experimental data that describe the infiltration of macrophages into two types of spheroids: chemoattractant-producing (hepa-1) and chemoattractant-deficient (or C4) spheroids. A combination of analytical and numerical techniques are used to show how the infiltration pattern depends on the motility mechanisms involved (i.e. random motion and chemotaxis) and to explain the observed differences in macrophage infiltration into the hepa-1 and C4 spheroids. Model predictions are generated to show how the spheroid's size and spatial structure and the ability of its constituent cells influence macrophage infiltration. For example, chemoattractant-producing spheroids are shown to recruit larger numbers of macrophages than chemoattractant-deficient spheroids of the same size and spatial structure. The biological implications of these results are also discussed briefly.

Decisive Importance

The flow in a three sector model, representing a segment of an annular rich quench lean combustor for an aeroengine is investigated. Detailed knowledge of flow, temperature and species concentration distributions is of decisive importance to control the NOx formation, essential to the RQL concept. Velocities, temperatures and species concentrations are measured. They are partly used to aquire data on the inlet boundaries in the numerical calculation and partly used to compare with the numerical results. The calculation reveals many details which are not accesable in the experiment. It also shows the effects of the specific inlet dataset. Experimental data and numerical results furnish complementary information.
