Mass Spring

This paper proposes a new type of a magnetic actuator that operates on a resonance energy of a mass-spring model by using an electromagnetic force. The magnetic actuator is moved by the difference in an inertia force during one period of vibration. Experimental result demonstrates that a horizontal speed of the magnetic actuator was 7.4 mm/s with load mass of 50 g. We considered a method of a cable-free movement of the actuator by using two iron rails and four permanent magnets. The magnetic actuator is able to move stably a ceiling plane and a wall plane. This actuator is able to move on the plane of the magnetic materials only a function generator and a power amplifier.

<p class="1Body">This paper proposes a cableless In-piping magnetic actuator capable of locomotion over long range of 1,000 m within a pipe having an inner diameter of 10 mm. The cableless magnetic actuator is moved by using resonance energy of a mass-spring system excited by using an electromagnetic force. The proposed actuator incorporates a new type of an electrical inverter that directly transforms DC from button batteries into AC. The electrical DC-AC inverter incorporates a mass-spring system, two reed switches and two curved permanent magnets that switch under an electromagnetic force. The conventional DC-AC inverter and the newly proposed inverter were compared, and the effect of the inverter on the motive properties of the cableless magnetic actuator was examined. The influence of the consumption current of the battery on the range of the actuator was examined. Experimental result demonstrates that the cableless magnetic actuator was able to move horizontally at 1,588 m, and horizontal speed at 176.5 mm/s when two reed switches were used.</p>

The present paper proposes a novel cableless magnetic actuator that exhibits a very high thrusting force and is capable of high speed locomotion in a thin pipe by using new type propulsion module. The magnetic actuator is moved according to the vibration amplitude and elastic energy of a mass-spring system due to mechanical resonance energy. The proposed actuator contains an electrical inverter that directly transforms DC from button batteries into AC. The electrical DC-AC inverter incorporates a mass-spring system, a reed switch and a curved permanent magnet that switches under an electromagnetic force. Experimental results indicate that the proposed actuator is able to move upward at a speed of 51 mm/s by the power provided by 8 button batteries when pulling a 10 g load mass. This cableless magnetic actuator has several possible applications, including small pipe inspection and maintenance.

Mass Spring

The linear aeroelastic stability of a simplified mass-spring model representing the basic dynamics of a packet of Na airfoils has been used to uncover a new type of coupled mode flutter. This simple model retains an essential dynamical feature of the vane packet: the presence of a cluster of Na−1 nearly identical purely structural natural frequencies due to the much larger stiffness of the lower platform as compared to that of the airfoil. Using this model it may be seen that this degeneracy makes the Na−1 associated mode shapes extremely sensible to the addition of small perturbations such as the aerodynamic forces. Since the determination of the aerodynamic vibrational correction (damping and frequency) requires knowing the mode shape, the aerodynamic corrections of the Na−1 cluster modes are now unavoidably coupled together. Moreover, the computation of the aerodynamic correction independently for each structural mode shape leads typically to dangerously overpredicting the stabilizing effect of vane packing. It is shown that the expected stabilizing effect due to the packets may be negligible, depending on the relative frequency split associated with the strength of the aerodynamic forces and realistic structural effects such as the finite stiffness of the lower platform. It is also shown that in these cases, the most unstable mode may be, in a first approximation, very similar to that obtained modeling the stator as a continuous ring.

In the present work we studied acridone and thioxanthone by combustion calorimetry of small amounts of substance, by sublimation calorimetry, by differential thermal analysis, and by heat capacity measurements. The thermodynamic quantities derived are as follows: For acridone: [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] For thioxanthone: [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] ΔfusHm = (35.50 ± 0.28) kJ mol−1, Ttp = (487.88 ± 0.02) K. The experimental results permitted us to determine for each molecule its resonance energy and to compare it with the theoretical value. This comparison fits well for acridone, which is planar. The difference observed in the case of thioxanthone shows that this molecule is not planar, in accord with literature structural results. From the experimental enthalpy of atomization of acridone, we determined an enthalpy value for the Cb—N bond. Using the enthalpy contributions previously determined in our laboratory, we found a value for the enthalpy of atomization of thioxanthone in accord with the experimental result. Keywords: thermodynamics; calorimetry; differential thermal analysis; acridone; thioxanthone; enthalpies of combustion, of sublimation, of fusion; resonance energy; enthalpies of atomization, of intramolecular bonds; triple point temperature.

Magnetic Suspension System

This paper proposes a new type of noncontact magnetic suspension system using two permanent magnets driven by rotary actuators. The paper aims to explain the proposed concept, configuration of the suspension system, and basic analyses for feasibility by FEM analyses. Two bar-shaped permanent magnets are installed as they are driven by rotary actuators independently. Attractive forces of two magnets act on the iron ball which is located under the magnets. Control of the angles of two magnets can suspend the iron ball stably without mechanical contact and changes the position of the ball. FEM analyses have been carried out for the arrangement of two permanent magnets and forces are simulated for noncontact suspension. Hence, successfully the required enough force against the gravity of the iron ball can be generated and controlled. Control of the horizontal force is also confirmed by the rotation of the permanent magnets.

There are different kinds of geometrical models and physical models used to simulate weft knitted fabrics nowadays, such as loop models based on Pierce, piecewise function, spline curve, mass-spring model, and finite element analyses (FEA). Weft knitting simulation technology, including modeling and yarn reality, has been widely adopted in fabric structure designing for the manufacturer. The technology has great potentials in both industries and dynamic virtual display. The present article is aimed to review the current development of 3-D simulation technique for weft knitted fabrics.

This paper proposes a computational approach to seasonal changes of living leaves by combining the geometric deformations and textural color changes. The geometric model of a leaf is generated by triangulating the scanned image of a leaf using an optimized mesh. The triangular mesh of the leaf is deformed by the improved mass-spring model, while the deformation is controlled by setting different mass values for the vertices on the leaf model. In order to adaptively control the deformation of different regions in the leaf, the mass values of vertices are set to be in proportion to the pixels' intensities of the corresponding user-specified grayscale mask map. The geometric deformations as well as the textural color changes of a leaf are used to simulate the seasonal changing process of leaves based on Markov chain model with different environmental parameters including temperature, humidness, and time. Experimental results show that the method successfully simulates the seasonal changes of leaves.
