Rotational Displacement

A simple, inexpensive, and accurate way to measure relative segmental rotations resulting from torsional loadings locally is described. To measure these rotations, we fabricated a planar spatial linkage (open-loop kinematic chain) requiring only one rotational displacement transducer. This paper describes this device, defines its kinematics, and examines its accuracy.

Consistent Response

A tongue pressure unit for measurement of lingual strength and patterns of tongue pressure is described. It consists of a force displacement transducer, a single channel, direct writing recording system, and a specially designed tongue pressure disk, head stabilizer, and pressure unit holder. Calibration with known weights indicated an essentially linear and consistent response. An evaluation of subject reliability in which 17 young adults were tested on two occasions revealed no significant difference in maximum pressure exerted during the two test trials. Suggestions for clinical and research use of the instrumentation are noted.

Good Agreement

In hydraulic components, nonlinearities are responsible for critical behaviors that make it difficult to realize a reliable mathematical model for numerical simulation. With particular reference to hydraulic spool valves, the viscous friction coefficient between the sliding and the fixed body is an unknown parameter that is normally set a posteriori in order to obtain a good agreement with the experimental data. In this paper, two different methodologies to characterize experimentally the viscous friction coefficient in a hydraulic component with spool are presented. The two approaches are significantly different and are both based on experimental tests; they were developed in two distinct laboratories in different periods of time and applied to the same flow compensator of a pump displacement control. One of the procedures was carried out at the Fluid Power Research Laboratory of the Politecnico di Torino, while the other approach was developed at the University of Parma. Both the proposed methods reached similar outcomes; moreover, neither method requires the installation of a spool displacement transducer that can significantly affect the results.

Mechanical Performances

To improve the mechanical performances of joints in prefabricated construction, a type of connection structure with long-fiber and metal laminated bolts (referred to as a fiber-metal connector) is proposed and investigated by simulation and theoretical methods. The results include the following: (1) The fiber layer in bolts can form a second stiffness during rotation. This mechanical characteristic improves the bearing capacities and energy dissipation ability of the connector relative to the conventional metal connector, which are expected to effectively limit the elastoplastic rotational displacement of a structure. (2) For the reason, the fiber layer can bear load in the plastic phase due to its high-strength characteristic in the length direction. (3) A bilinear model for the bearing curve of the fiber-metal connector is proposed, and equations for optimization of fiber layer thickness are obtained with a target on bearing capacity and energy dissipation ability which are approximately higher 30% and 13% than that of the conventional metal connector, respectively. This research is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the application of this fiber-metal connector in engineering and improve the safety of prefabricated structures.

Integration Techniques

In the technical practice, it is often necessary to measure or control the fluid flow rate in pipelines and channels. The velocity-area method requires a number of meters located at specified points in a suitable cross-section of closed conduits. Simultaneous measurements of local mean velocity with the meters are integrated over the gauging section to provide the discharge. In this paper, three approaches of this method are applied on a rectangular closed conduit to determine the air flow rate with integration techniques used to compute the discharge assume velocity distributions that closely approximate known laws, especially in the neighborhood of solid boundaries. For this purpose, meters for velocity were 7 Pitot tubes placed vertically in predefined measurement points covering the conduit height, and moved horizontally along the conduit width. The position of the Pitot tubes along the conduit width was monitored and controlled by a linear displacement transducer. Pressure is measured using digital sensors. The first technique for determination of air flow rate is on basis of fixed (stopping) measuring points across the conduit width as averaged values of local velocity, the second one is semi continual measurement of velocity profile by applying interpolation between the average local velocity on fixed (stopping) points and measured velocity in the movement between two positions, and the third is by continuously moving the Pitot tubes without stopping. The results of the three techniques are calculated and presented using different types of software. Considering the last technique, comparison of results is made applying different movement speeds of the Pitot tubes in order to examine their influence on the velocity profile.

Long Duration

An extraluminal displacement transducer has been developed for simultaneously recording the mechanical activity in two perpendicular directions andthe electrical activity of the intestinal serosa. The length variations in two perpendicular directions were measured by means of strain gauges bounded on two pairs of lamellae embedded in a rigid stand. The electrical activity was recorded by means of four electrodes situated at the extremity of these lamellae. The electrical gauges of each pair of lamellae are connected to form a Wheatstone bridge. This device allows establishment of a correlation between the mechanical displacement of the intestinal wall serosa and electrical potentials by means of studies of long duration.
