The dynamic loads transmitted from the rotor to the airframe are responsible for vibrations, discomfort and alternate stress of components. A new and promising way to minimize vibration is to reduce dynamic loads at their source by performing an aeroelastic optimization of the rotor. This optimization is done thanks to couplings between the flapwise-bending motion and the torsion motion. The impact of elastic couplings (composite anisotropy) on the blade dynamic behaviour and on dynamic loads are evaluated in this paper. Firstly, analytical results, based on a purely linear modal approach, are given to understand the influence of those couplings in terms of frequency placement, aerodynamic lift load and vertical shear modification. Then, those elastic couplings are introduced on a simplified but representative blade (homogeneous beam with constant chord) and results are presented.

The dynamic loads transmitted from the rotor to the airframe are responsible for vibrations, discomfort and alternate stress on components. A new and promising way to minimize vibration is to reduce dynamic loads at their source by performing an aeroelastic optimization of the rotor. This optimization uses couplings between the flapwise-bending motion and the torsion motion. The impacts of elastic couplings (composite anisotropy) and inertial couplings (center-of-gravity offset) on blade dynamic behavior and on dynamic loads are evaluated in this paper. First, analytical results, based on a purely linear modal approach, are given to understand the influence of these couplings on blade dynamic behavior. Then, a complete nonlinear aeroelastic model of the rotor, including elastic and inertial couplings, is derived. Finally, this last model is used to improve a simplified but representative blade (homogeneous beam with constant chord) and results are presented.

ABSTRACTThis paper has developed an accurate method for calculating the first and second derivatives of dynamic responses with respect to the design variables of structures subjected to dynamic loads. An efficient algorithm to calculate the dynamic responses, their first and second derivatives with respect to the design variables is formulated based on the Newmark-β method. The algorithm is achieved by direct differentiation and only a single dynamics analysis is required. An example is demonstrated with the new method proposed in this paper and the analytical method. The comparative numerical results show the new method is highly accurate compared to the analytical method.

Hemoglobin is the specific protein of red blood cells. Those cells in which hemoglobin synthesis is initiated are the earliest cells that can presently be considered to be committed to erythropoiesis. In order to identify such early cells electron microscopically, we have made use of the peroxidatic activity of hemoglobin by reacting the marrow of erythropoietically stimulated guinea pigs with diaminobenzidine (DAB). The reaction product appeared as a diffuse and amorphous electron opacity throughout the cytoplasm of reactive cells. The detection of small density increases of such a diffuse nature required an analytical method more sensitive and reliable than the visual examination of micrographs. A procedure was therefore devised for the evaluation of micrographs (negatives) with a densitometer (Weston Photographic Analyzer).

Although sections of frozen salt solutions have been used as standards for x-ray microanalysis, such solutions are less useful when analysed in the bulk form. They are poor thermal and electrical conductors and severe phase separation occurs during the cooling process. Following a suggestion by Whitecross et al we have made up a series of salt solutions containing a small amount of graphite to improve the sample conductivity. In addition, we have incorporated a polymer to ensure the formation of microcrystalline ice and a consequent homogenity of salt dispersion within the frozen matrix. The mixtures have been used to standardize the analytical procedures applied to frozen hydrated bulk specimens based on the peak/background analytical method and to measure the absolute concentration of elements in developing roots.

This paper presented a novel analytical method for calculating magnetic field in the slotted air gap of spoke-type permanent-magnet machines using conformal mapping. Firstly, flux density without slots and complex relative air-gap permeance of slotted air gap are derived from conformal transformation separately. Secondly, they are combined in order to obtain normalized flux density taking account into the slots effect. The finite element (FE) results confirmed the validity of the analytical method for predicting magnetic field and back electromotive force (BEMF) in the slotted air gap of spoke-type permanent-magnet machines. In comparison with FE result, the analytical solution yields higher peak value of cogging torque.

To form a necessary geometry of a hollow billet to be rolled at a pipe rolling line, stable dynamics of the base equipment of the automatic mill working stand has a practical meaning. Among the forces, acting on its parts and elements, significant by value short-time dynamic loads are the least studied phenomena. These dynamic loads arise during transient interaction of the hollow billet, rollers, mandrel and other mill parts at the forced grip of the hollow billet. Basing of the calculation scheme and dynamic model of the mechanical system of the ТПА 350 automatic mill working stand was accomplished. A mathematical model of dynamics of the system “hollow billet (pipe) – working stand” within accepted calculation scheme and dynamic model of the mechanical system elaborated. Influence of technological load of the rolled hollow billet variation in time was accounted, as well as variation of the mechanical system mass, and rigidity of the ТПА 350 automatic mill working stand. Differential equations of oscillation movement for four-mass model of forked sub-systems of the automatic mill working stand were made up, results of their digital calculation quoted. Dynamic displacement of the stand elements in the inter-roller gap obtained, which enabled to estimate the results of amplitude and frequency characteristics of the branches of the mill rollers setting. It was defined by calculation, that the maximum amplitude of the forced oscillations of elements of the ТПА 350 automatic mill working stand within the inter-roller gap does not exceed 2 mm. It is much higher than the accepted value of adjusting parameters of the deformation center of the ТПА 350 automatic mill. A scheme of comprehensive modernization of the rollers setting in the ТПА 350 automatic mill working stand was proposed. It was shown, that increase of rigidity of rollers setting in the ТПА 350 automatic mill working stand enables to stabilize the amplitude of forced oscillations of the working stand elements within the inter-rollers gap and considerably decrease the induced nonuniform hollow billet wall thickness and increase quality of the rolled pipes at ТПА 350.
