The mechanics of ring twisting are analyzed, and the effects of machine operating parameters such as the R/Y ratio (the ratio of the linear speed of ring to the speed of the yarn path), the ring crossing angle, and the externally applied pressure are discussed. The advantages of the ring twister are compared with the stacked disc spindle and the belt twister. The restraints in designing the ring aggregate are discussed in terms of the differential relative torsional slippage.

Abstract This paper investigates the characteristics of viscous flow in the micron-scale clearances surrounding high-speed micro-rotors currently being developed for miniature energy conversion applications. Analysis and experimental results from 4 mm diameter microfabricated rotors operated above 1 million rpm are used to describe the viscous flow characteristics, and provide guidelines for system-level design. To first order, the flow is characterized as fully developed shear flow (Couette flow) across the small gaps, induced by the rotor motion. However, secondary flows are induced perpendicular to the direction of rotor motion when externally applied pressure gradients exist along the small gaps. The developing flow in the entrance region of the small gaps in this secondary flow direction impacts the shear flow profile, hence affecting the drag on the disk. The effect of other inertial forces, such as Coriolis and centrifugal forces, are investigated analytically and numerically and found to affect the shear flow profile on the fluid in the motor gap at high rotational speeds. Since viscous losses are prevelant in microsystems, appropriate modeling is necessary for system-level design.

<p>This thesis documents the development of a time-of-flight (ToF) camera suitable for autonomous mobile robotics applications. By measuring the round trip time of emitted light to and from objects in the scene, the system is capable of simultaneous full-field range imaging. This is achieved by projecting amplitude modulated continuous wave (AMCW) light onto the scene, and recording the reflection using an image sensor array with a high-speed shutter amplitude modulated at the same frequency (of the order of tens of MHz). The effect is to encode the phase delay of the reflected light as a change in pixel intensity, which is then interpreted as distance. A full field range imaging system has been constructed based on the PMD Technologies PMD19k image sensor, where the high-speed shuttering mechanism is builtin to the integrated circuit. This produces a system that is considerably more compact and power efficient than previous iterations that employed an image intensifier to provide sensor modulation. The new system has comparable performance to commercially available systems in terms of distance measurement precision and accuracy, but is much more flexible with regards to its operating parameters. All of the operating parameters, including the image integration time, sensor modulation phase offset and modulation frequency can be changed in realtime either manually or automatically through software. This highly configurable system serves as an excellent platform for research into novel range imaging techniques. One promising technique is the utilisation of measurements using multiple modulation frequencies in order to maximise precision over an extended operating range. Each measurement gives an independent estimate of the distance with limited range depending on the modulation frequency. These are combined to give a measurement with extended maximum range using a novel algorithm based on the New Chinese Remainder Theorem. A theoretical model for the measurement precision and accuracy of the new algorithm is presented and verified with experimental results. All distance image processing is performed on a per-pixel basis in real-time using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). An efficient hardware implementation of the phase determination algorithm for calculating distance is investigated. The limiting resource for such an implementation is random access memory (RAM), and a detailed analysis of the trade-off between this resource and measurement precision is also presented.</p>

The deformation of metal plates and tubes achievable through the use of liquid shock waves generated in a shock tube is studied, with reference to both free-forming and forming the metal into dies, as well as to imprinting detailed features. The process is highly controllable, in terms of the magnitude and duration of the applied pressure pulse. A projectile is fired into a liquid column producing a high-pressure liquid shock wave which impinges on the testpiece. Different projectile materials, driving pressures and impact velocities are used to alter the energy and impulse transmitted. A particular attraction of its use in a laboratory is the application of high-speed photography to the deformation process. Illustration of the application of the facility to slamming studies and to fracture of brittle materials is included. It is concluded that the techniques employed offer a useful and versatile tool for many studies of material deformation.

In the paper, the numerical and experimental approach to the blast load evaluation was presented. The evaluation process is done in two steps. In the first, the full scale blast test is carried out with a simply mock-up resembling geometry of the bottom part of a vehicle. The pressure impulse is measured indirectly using a high speed camera and the motion analysis software. In the second step, a numerical simulation with the use of Multi Material Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method is utilized to assess the influence of the fluid-structure interaction and the real vehicle mass on the value of the applied pressure impulse. In the paper, the application of method was presented and the results were discussed.

Gear pumps make a group of the most popular hydraulic energy generators. Research and development works concerning those units have been going on for decades, and thanks to them gear pumps feature very good operating parameters. However, even well-designed gear pumps will not work properly if the physical properties of the working fluid are incorrect. One of such properties is compressibility of the fluid, which largely depends on the amount of gas dissolved in the medium. For this reason, the aim is to reduce the amount of gas dissolved in the working medium. It can be done using both chemical and physical methods. Because chemical methods can affect the chemical composition of the working fluid, it is the physical methods that are usually used in hydraulic systems. This paper presents preliminary visualization research into the influence of an ultrasonic degassing system on the operation of a hydraulic gear pump. Apart from that, operation of such a system and its theoretical impact on the work of the gear pump is discussed Experimental study, using a high-speed camera, was carried out in order to verify the theoretical description.
