Canopy Shaker

The goal of this article is to experimentally study how the vibrational acceleration spreads along the branch shaken by PVC tine, steel tine, and nylon tine for citrus canopy shaking harvesting and to compare the difference. PVC tine and steel tine have potential to be used as shaking rod for citrus canopy shaking harvesting. Nylon tine is a commonly used shaking rod. A tractor-mounted canopy shaker was developed to do the trial. The shaking frequency was set at 2.5 and 5 Hz. Experimental results showed that the vibrational acceleration at the shaking spot is not the highest. Spreading from shaking spot to the stem, it increases evidently. When spreading from stems of the outside subbranch to stems of the nearest inside subbranch, its average decrease percentage is 42%. The overall vibrational acceleration of shaking at 5 Hz is 1.85 times as high as shaking at 2.5 Hz. The overall vibrational acceleration exerted by straight PVC tine and steel tine is 1.77 and 1.97 times as high as that exerted by straight nylon tine, respectively. It is indicated that replacing nylon tine with steel tine or PVC tine helps remove the fruits inside the canopy. Replacing with steel tine is more effective than with PVC tine.

The Difference

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to determine the efficiency of repair methods for sandwich composites used as hull materials in leisure ships. The method was applied to external, scarf, and step patch repairs using an epoxy bond. The load was described in terms of the hogging and sagging moments applied to the hull by waves. Static and fatigue tests were performed to derive the recovery rate of repaired specimens. The experimental results indicated that the recovery rate of specimens with the scarf patch was the highest at 91.80% when the hogging moment was applied. However, the difference in the recovery rate between hogging and sagging moments was the lowest for specimens with the step patch, and the recovery rate was high at 89.96% and 85.15%, respectively.

Linear Scanning

For the development of flexible forming using plasma arc (FFUPA), it is extremely necessary to investigate the forming rules of curvilinear scanning and multipath combined scanning. In this paper, the difference between circular scanning and linear scanning and the influence of sheet metal geometry on forming effect have been discussed. In the experiments, circle, ring and rectangle mild steel sheets with thickness of 0.8mm are taken as workpieces and the experimental results show that nonlinear prolonged surface can be obtained by curvilinear scanning and there exists the obvious difference between circular scanning and linear scanning. Afterwards, the reason of the difference mentioned above is concisely analyzed. Finally, some suggestions are presented for the future investigation.

Abstract.This work measured $ \mathrm{d}\sigma/\mathrm{d}\Omega$dσ/dΩ for neutral kaon photoproduction reactions from threshold up to a c.m. energy of 1855MeV, focussing specifically on the $ \gamma p\rightarrow K^0\Sigma^+$γp→K0Σ+, $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0\Lambda$γn→K0Λ, and $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0 \Sigma^0$γn→K0Σ0 reactions. Our results for $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0 \Sigma^0$γn→K0Σ0 are the first-ever measurements for that reaction. These data will provide insight into the properties of $ N^{\ast}$N* resonances and, in particular, will lead to an improved knowledge about those states that couple only weakly to the $ \pi N$πN channel. Integrated cross sections were extracted by fitting the differential cross sections for each reaction as a series of Legendre polynomials and our results are compared with prior experimental results and theoretical predictions.

One of the phenomena restricting the tanker navigation in shallow waters is reduction of under keel clearance in the terms of sinkage and dynamic trim that is called squatting. According to the complexity of flow around ship hull, one of the best methods to predict the ship squat is experimental approach based on model tests in the towing tank. In this study model tests for tanker ship model had been held in the towing tank and squat of the model are measured and analyzed. Based on experimental results suitable formulae for prediction of these types of ship squat in fairways are obtained.

Abstract. In order to investigate the optimal thickness of infiltration media in the Constructed Rapid Infiltration System, the artificial soil column is used to simulate the Constructed Rapid Infiltration System, and the CODCr, NH3-N and TN concentrations of the effluent from all the sampling sites are monitored. The experimental results and analysis show that the thickness of infiltration media exerts a significant influence on the CODCr, NH3-N and TN concentration and removal efficiency of the effluent; the CODCr, NH3-N and TN are mainly removed in the 0-1800mm zone of the artificial soil column; the total CODCr removal efficiency increases, as the thickness of infiltration media increases, but the CODCr removal efficiency in the 1800-2200mm zone is very low; the NH3-N and TN removal efficiency reaches the maximum where the thickness of infiltration media is 1800mm; the NH3-N and TN concentration of the effluent from 1800-2200mm zone dose not decrease, but increase 5-8%, due to the assimilation denitrification and amemoniation reaction on the end of the anaerobic zone; in consideration of the effluent quality, efficient biodegradation zone, construction investment, etc. the optimal thickness of infiltration media in CRI system should be 1800mm.

Break Up

Oil production facilities have choke/control valves to control production and protect downstream equipment against over pressurization. This process is responsible for droplets break up and the formation of emulsions which are difficult to treat. An experimental study of water in oil dispersion droplets break up in localized pressure drop is presented. To accomplish that, an apparatus simulating a gate valve was constructed. Droplet Size Distribution (DSD) was measured by laser light scattering. Oil physical properties were controlled and three different break up models were compared with the experimental results. All experimental maximum diameters (dmax) were above Kolmogorov length scale. The results show that dmax decreases with increase of energy dissipation rate (ε) according to the relation dmax ∝ ε−0.42. The Hinze (1955, AIChE J.1, 3, 289–295) model failed to predict the experimental results, although, it was able to adjust reasonably well those points when the original proportional constant was changed. It was observed that increasing the dispersed phase concentration increases dmax due to turbulence suppression and/or coalescence phenomenon. Turbulent viscous break up model gave fairly good prediction.

The frequency of turbulent macroinstability occurrence was measured in liquids agitated in a cylindrical baffled vessel. As it has been proved by preceding experimental results of the authors, the stochastic quantity with frequency of occurrence of 10-1 to 100 s-1 is concerned. By suitable choosing the viscosity of liquids and frequency of impeller revolutins, the region of Reynolds mixing numbers was covered from the pure laminar up to fully developed turbulent regime. In addition to the equipment making it possible to record automatically the macroinstability occurrence, also the visualization method and videorecording were employed. It enabled us to describe in more detail the form of entire flow field in the agitated system and its behaviour in connection with the macroinstability occurrence. It follows from the experiments made that under turbulent regime of flow of agitated liquids the frequency of turbulent macroinstability occurrence is the same as the frequency of the primary circulation of agitated liquid.

The experimental study of wave attenuation in concrete has been achieved in the case of the propagation of plane waves in concrete rods. Different mortars and concretes have been investigated. A transmitter transducer coupled to one of the ends of the concrete rod generates the propagation of a plane wave in the rod. The receiver transducer, similar to the previous one, is coupled to the other end of the rod. The experimental results lead to an analytical expression for wave attenuation as function of the concrete composition, the propagation distance, and the wave frequency.

The mechanical behavior of multi-cracks under compression has become a very important project in the field of fracture mechanics and rock mechanics. In this paper, based on the previous theoretical results of the failure criterion for brittle materials under compression, experiment study is implemented. The specimens are square plates and are made of cement, sand and water, and the cracks are made by using a very thin film (0.1 mm). The relations of material compressive strength versus crack spacing and the lateral confining stress are obtained from experimental results. The experimental results agree well with the failure criterion for brittle materials under compression, which indicates that the criterion is effective and applicable.
