Acceleration And Deceleration

The applicability of snowplough theory for the description of the motion of plasmas in electromagnetic shock-tubes is studied. The effects of various means of mass pickup and of various wave forms of driving current are included in the analysis. A comparison of the theoretical predictions with experimental results reveals the importance of materials eroded from the components of the driver. Snowplough theory is also found to predict the observed motion of the decelerating plasma fairly accurately when the initial pressure in the shock tube is low and the mass of the driver gases large. The proposed model for the decelerating plasma is suggestive of one reason, a large mass of driver gases present, why various workers have obtained different values for β in the often-quoted relation [Formula: see text].

Theoretical Predictions

The electrodynamic response of a particular inductive magnetohydrodynamic generator is calculated. Expressions for the output voltage and output power are derived. The results of experiments conducted with the generator mounted on an electromagnetic shock-tube agree with the theoretical predictions. The measured output power is of the order of 10 watts lasting for a few microseconds.

Train Speed

A new theoretical approach on the determination of the conditions for the initiation of the motion of the ballast stones due to the wind gust created under the high-speed trains has been recently developed (Sanz-Andres & Navarro-Medina, 2009). This determination is critical to predict the starting of ballast pick-up, because once the motion is initiated a saltation-like chain reaction could take place. Sometimes the flying stones reach an height which is larger than the lowest parts of the train, striking them (and the track surroundings) producing considerable damage that are to be avoided e.g. by limiting the maximum allowed operational train speed. The aim of this contribution is to present the experimental results that have been obtained to check the validity of the proposed model. The experimental facility is a wind tunnel, with a gust generator, with a maximum wind speed of some 20 m/s (65.6 ft/s) and 10 Hz gust frequency. The test section is 0.39 m × 0.54 m (15.4 in × 21.3 in), which is suitable to perform experiments with stone models. It is shown that in the range of parameters explored, the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical model predictions. In this contribution the theoretical model is summarized, the experimental facility is described, showing some of its typical performances, the experimental procedure is outlined, and the experimental results are compared with the theoretical predictions.

Reinforced Composite Material

In this paper, we extend our previous 2D connected-tube marked point process (MPP) model to a 3D connected-tube MPP model for fiber detection. In the 3D case, a tube is represented by a cylinder model with two spherical areas at its ends. The spherical area is used to define connection priors that encourage connection of tubes that belong to the same fiber. Since each long fiber can be fitted by a series of connected short tubes, the proposed model is capable of detecting curved long tubes. We present experimental results on fiber-reinforced composite material images to show the performance of our method.

Interaction Of Shock Waves

Abstract In continuation of the work on interaction between shock waves and magnetic fields 1,2 the experiments reported here measured the atomic and electron densities in the interaction region by means of an interferometric and a spectroscopic method. The transient atomic density was also calculated using a one-dimensional theory based on the work of Johnson3 , but modified to give an improved physical model. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions.

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.

A New Technique

Recirculation is an important factor in single needle dialysis and, if high, can compromise treatment efficiency. To provide information regarding recirculation characteristics of access devices used in single needle dialysis, we have developed a new technique to characterise recirculation and have used this to measure the recirculation of a Terumo 15G fistula needle and a VasCath SC2300 single lumen catheter. The experimentally obtained results agreed well with those established clinically (8.5 ± 2.4% and 18.4 ± 3.4%). The experimental results have also demonstrated a dependence on access type, pump speeds and fistula flow rate. A comparison of experimental data with theoretical predictions showed that the latter exceeded those measured with the largest contribution being due to the experimental fistula.

Effect Of Age

The control systems of accommodation and convergence in the human eye are theoretically examined, together with their interactions which represent accommodative convergence and convergence induced accommodation. A control model is proposed in order to help to understand the system, and it is used to make predictions concerning accommodation and convergence placed in conflict, monocular vision, fusional after-effects and the effect of age and drugs on accommodation and accommodative convergence. In each case the theoretical predictions are compared with established experimental results.
