In this study, pressure transients are triggered by a steel ball, which is released from an upstream reservoir to hit a valve seat and shut off water flow in a horizontal straight copper pipeline. The pressure pulsations, cavitation and gas bubbles growth and collapse in the low pressure water-hydraulic pipeline are recorded by two pressure transducers and a high speed video camera, respectively. In addition, the influences of initial volume of gas bubbles in water and instant leakage in valve are investigated. The experimental results indicate that increasing initial gas bubble volume in water and the instant leakage of the valve will help to reduce magnitudes and numbers of pressure peaks during pressure transients. Then methods to reduce pressure pulsations in pipelines are put forward.

The objective of this study is to investigate the flow behavior within a triple-blade lawnmower deck. The test section was constructed for velocity measurement with an open bottom and side-discharge. Velocity measurements were collected at several different tangential and axial sections inside the deck. The flow behaviors are observed using Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) and a high-speed video camera capturing 2000 frames per second. Several different visualization techniques have been attempted: particle feeding, water vapor injection, tuft method, and others. To further enhance the experimental accuracy, fresh sod was fed into the system simulating normal cutting conditions. Along with the extensive velocity analysis, strain and static pressure were also examined at various surface locations along the blade using linear strain gages, piezoresistive pressure transducers, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods. Validation of the above analyses was performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) investigation. It has been observed that the deck and blade configurations share equal significance in the resultant flow profiles.

The aim of this paper is to develop a theoretical model of a piezoelectric valve-less micropump for liquid delivery with entrapped gas bubbles and evaluate the influence of gas bubbles on the dynamic characteristics of the micropump by using this model. In the model, we consider the vibration of piezoelectric diaphragm, the pressure loss through the nozzle/diffuser and the compressibility of working liquids with entrapped gas bubbles. In order to validate the developed model and make it useful as a design and prediction tool, experimental studies are carried out to investigate the flow rate and dynamic pressure inside the pump chamber when gas bubbles are absent or present in the micropump. The presence of gas bubbles inside the pump chamber is also observed with a high-speed video camera. The outlet flow rate of the micropump with different size of trapped gas bubbles are calculated and compared.

Small-scale blast tests were carried out to observe and measure the influence of sandy soil towards explosive blast intensity. The tests were to simulate blast impact imparted by anti-vehicular landmine to a lightweight armoured vehicle (LAV). Time of occurrence of the three phases of detonation phase in soil with respect to upward translation time of the test apparatus were recorded using high-speed video camera. At the same time the target plate acceleration was measured using shock accelerometer. It was observed that target plate deformation took place at early stage of the detonation phase before the apparatus moved vertically upwards. Previous data of acceleration-time history and velocity-time history from air blast detonation were compared. It was observed that effects of soil funnelling on blast wave together with the impact from soil ejecta may have contributed to higher blast intensity that characterized detonation in soil, where detonation in soil demonstrated higher plate velocity compared to what occurred in air blast detonation.

Solidification cracking during welding is very serious problem for practical use. Therefore, there are so many reports concerning solidification cracking. Normally, solidification cracking susceptibility of material is quantitatively evaluated using Trans-Varestraint test. On the other hand, local solidification cracking strain was tried to measure precisely using in-situ observation method, called MISO method about 30 years ago. Recently, digital high-speed video camera develops very fast and its image quality is very high. Therefore, we have started to observe solidification crack using in site observation method. In this paper, the local critical strain of a solidification crack was measured and the high temperature ductility curves of weld metals having different dilution ratios and different grain sizes to evaluate quantitatively the effects of dilution ratio and grain size on solidification cracking susceptibility by using an improved in situ observation method.

At present, a commercially available magnetic barrel machine equipped with permanent magnets has some faults arising from constructional reason. That is, grinding or finishing ability is different from place to place in the machining region, resulting in the limitation on the region we can use in the container of workpieces. Therefore, in this research, authors made the new magnetic barrel machine equipped with three dimensional (3D) magnet arrangement to overcome these faults. The grinding ability of the new 3D magnetic barrel machine converted was experimentally examined, and compared with that of the traditional magnetic barrel machine. As a result, it was shown that we can use much broader region in the new 3D machine. It was also shown that the grinding ability became higher. The distribution of barrel media in action was recorded by means of a high speed video camera. It was clarified that the media rose up higher and were distributed more uniformly in the container by the effect of the magnet block newly set up. It was supposed that this must be the reason for the above-mentioned improvement of grinding ability.

In a previous investigation, grease thickener fibres were tracked as they passed through an elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contact in pure rolling using interferometry in a standard ball-and-disc apparatus. In order to capture single thickener fibres, a high-speed video camera was used. Here, the experiments have been repeated introducing different amounts of side slip for different rolling speeds and a faster video camera capable of capturing 4500 frames/s. The contact was lubricated with a continuous supply of grease. Two greases, based on the same synthetic poly(α-olefin) but thickened with Li-12-OH and lithium complex soap respectively, were studied. It was observed that the thickener fibres were stretched both before entering the contact and as they passed through it. Fibres seem to avoid the minimum film thickness regions and, if they enter, the film is restored immediately after passage.
