To satisfy the requirements of high speed, large capacity and constant winding, a textile winding rotor needs to work in a wide rotation speed range and frequently pass through critical speed points. Thus, the winding rotor adopts the flexible long shaft coupling structure and flexible support with rubber O-rings. This kind of rotor has a multi-coupling structure and frequency-dependent parameters characteristics, especially representative and universal in the dynamic analysis method of the high-speed rotor. In this paper, an approach was proposed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the winding rotor considering the flexible coupling and frequency-dependent supporting parameters. Firstly, a dynamic model of the winding rotor was established by using a Timoshenko beam element. Its dynamic behaviors were simulated by considering the time-varying rotation speed and the frequency-dependent parameters of flexible support. Secondly, a non-contact measuring device was developed for measuring the vibration displacement of the winding rotor in three different speed-up times. Finally, based on simulation and measurement data, how flexible support parameters and the speed-up time affect the winding rotor passing through the critical speed point of the rotor smoothly is revealed. The methods and findings reported here can be used for theoretical and experimental vibration analysis of other types of high-speed flexible rotors.

Abstract One of the important challenges in plasma antennas, is the coupling of RF signal to the plasma column. RF signal coupling has a significant effect on antenna efficiency, antenna implementation cost, structure implementation complexity, antenna pattern shape, and final structure weight and volume. In this article, firstly the various methods of coupling were introduced. Then capacitive coupling, direct coupling and sleeve coupling were presented and their advantages and disadvantages were mentioned. As a sample, a plasma folded monopole antenna with sleeve coupling was fabricated and measured. By comparison of the different coupling methods and as a result, one can conclude that the sleeve coupling method is the most suitable method. This method has the least sensitivity to change the dimensions. It is also easy and cheap to implement. In this type of coupling, the efficiency of the Nesta antenna is suitable and the coupling structure adds small weight and volume to the antenna structure.

AbstractAutomobile couplings generally fail due to excessive misalignment in shafts and torque overload which ultimately generates vibration in the assembly. These vibrations weaken the coupling structure and ultimately get transmitted to the shaft leading to fatigue failure. Additionally, the complexity in the design of standard coupling is related to lower durability. In this system, when the radial space is larger, it triggers a bulkier transmission. Shape memory alloy such as NITINOL is a special class of smart material that possesses superelasticity which means it can retain deformation of about 8%. This material has a high degree of strength, greater elastic and shear modulus than existing coupling materials, such as steel, and has unique vibration damping features. Coupling made of NITINOL is simple in design and requires lesser space with minimal maintenance. They provide higher durability and are much reliable in operation over a wide range of temperatures. This paper aims to review the NITINOL material used in coupling technology industries and the parameters governing its shape memory effect. The knowledge gathered from this work enables to further extend the technological contribution to NiTi coupling at large-scale production in the automobile sector with direct effect on longer life for the transmission system.

AbstractThis work proposes a framework to examine interactions of climate modes that are identified as leading EOF modes; their coupling structure is unveiled through correlation analysis and helps constructing a regression model, whose performance is compared across GCMs, thereby providing a quantitative overview of model performances in simulating mode-interaction. As demonstration surface temperature is analyzed for five CMIP5 PiControl simulations. Along with the seasonal land and ocean modes, four interannual modes are identified: Tropical Mode (TM) associated with the Hadley circulation, Tropical Pacific Mode (TPM) characterizing a zonal temperature contrast between the eastern tropical Pacific and the Atlantic-Indian ocean, and two annular modes: Arctic Mode (AM) and Ant-arctic Mode (AAM). All GCMs converge on the following: 1) TM strongly couples with seasonal signals of the previous year; 2) TPM leads TM by 1 year, thus a weaker zonal temperature contrast in the tropics contributes to warming in the entire tropical band one year later; 3) AM weakly couples to TM at a one-year lead, suggesting a colder north pole may contribute to colder tropics. In addition, all GCMs do not support a linear coupling between AAM and TM. The above-learned coupling structure is incorporated to construct an optimum regression model that demonstrates considerable predictive power. The proposed approach may both serve as a useful tool for dynamical analysis and lend insight into GCM differences. Its merit is demonstrated by the finding that different representations of the mean seasonal cycle in GCMs may account for the GCM-dependence of relative contributions of seasonal and inter-annual modes to TM variability.
