This study utilizes Newton’s law to analyze: 1) the force required to act on a vane bottom in order to create zero contact force between the vane and the stator, and 2) the contact forces between the vane and the rotor in a sliding vane compressor. The effects of the number, length, thickness and material of vanes, the locations of the outlet ports, and the rotor rotational speed of the compressor on these forces are analyzed. The results show that the effect of the vane thickness on these forces is not significant. Nevertheless, these forces increase when the number of vanes and the angular starting location of the outlet port increases. When the length and the density of the vane and the rotational speed of the rotor increase, there is a decrease in the force required to act on the vane bottom in order for it to come in to contact with the stator.

In this paper, a mechanics-based model is developed and I used for analyzing the steady-state configuration of brush fibers during concentric brushing of a cylindrical surface. The geometry of the problem is generalized in order to facilitate the analysis of flexible honing tools, that is, brushing tools having a spherical volume of abrasive compound attached at the end of each fiber. The integrity of the model is evaluated by examining two special cases that have a known solution, namely, (i) quasistatic contact, and (ii) dynamic contact associated with successively reduced fiber stiffness. In each case, correct results are obtained for the contact forces generated at the interface of the filament tip/cylindrical workpart surface. Also, special attention is given to examining the role that brush rotational speed plays in the response of each fiber of the honing tool, including filament/workpart contact force, torque, and filament stress.

One branch of physics is mechanics. Based on interviews to Senior High School teacher in Jember, mechanics is difficult to learn. The eksternals factor this chapter is dificult to learn is learning Resources. The learning Resources are often less contextuall with around the phenomenon of students. The contextuall learning Resources in the Jember Regency is study of kynematics and dynamics in the traffic of Rembangan Tourism. From this experiment, we get data can be used as a learning resources chapter uniform rectilinear motion, decelerated uniform rectilinear motion, accelerated uniform rectilinear motion, Newton’s Law, and circular motion.

This work deals with a methodology to assess the influence of the spherical clearance joints in spatial multibody systems. The methodology is based on the Cartesian coordinates, being the dynamics of the joint elements modeled as impacting bodies and controlled by contact forces. The impacts and contacts are described by a continuous contact force model that accounts for geometric and mechanical characteristics of the contacting surfaces. The contact force is evaluated as function of the elastic pseudo-penetration between the impacting bodies, coupled with a nonlinear viscous-elastic factor representing the energy dissipation during the impact process. A spatial four bar mechanism is used as an illustrative example and some numerical results are presented, being the efficiency of the developed methodology discussed in the process of their presentation. The results obtained show that the inclusion of clearance joints in the modelization of spatial multibody systems significantly influences the prediction of components’ position and drastically increases the peaks in acceleration and reaction moments at the joints. Moreover, the system’s response clearly tends to be nonperiodic when a clearance joint is included in the simulation.

Newton's law of cooling is shown to underestimate the heat flux between a spherical body (droplet) and a homogeneous gas after this body is suddenly immersed into the gas. This problem is rectified by replacing the gas thermal conductivity by the effective thermal conductivity. The latter reduces to the gas thermal conductivity in the limit of t→∞, but can be substantially higher in the limit of t→0. In the case of fuel droplet heating in a medium duty truck Diesel engine the gas thermal conductivity may need to be increased by more than 100 percent at the initial stage of calculations to account for transient effects during the process of droplet heating.

<p>Expansion joints on bridges should accommodate cyclic movements to minimize imposition of secondary stresses in the structure. However, these joints are highly susceptible to severe and repeated vehicular impact that results their inherent discontinuity. In this paper, a portable on- board system including accelerometers and a drive recorder to evaluate the vehicular contact force on bridge joints is proposed. First, from the acceleration responses of the vehicle, the contact force exerted on the road surface is estimated from a half-car model by Kalman Filter. Next, extraction of the expansion joints is performed by object detection from videos taken by the drive recorder. Finally, a relative comparison of the contact forces acting on joints is performed, with location identification on the map. The proposed system benefits to utilize the dynamic contact forces results from on-board system to detect the potential risky joints more precisely and efficiently.</p>
