This paper introduces a novel theoretical-empirical study for explosive sheet metal forming based on the simple plasticity principles. It provides a method of producing the sheet metal cone parts forming under blast loading, including an analytical model and experimental validation. Firstly, a theoretical-empirical model for cone forming based on underwater explosion employing the impulse method is developed. The model on the whole revealed the relationships among the geometrical parameters of forming a process that is very useful to predict the certain explosive mass for complete forming a cone part. Afterward, a series of experiments are conducted to validate the developed model and also for the required modification in the solution. Comparing the theoretical-empirical solution and experimental results, the ability of the presented model for estimation of the explosive mass is demonstrated. Experimental results show that the theoretical model matched the experiments well.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90928310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most important factor in this regard is the geometry of orifice. In the first part of this study, the flow through two types of single-hole orifice and a multi-hole orifice were experimentally studied. The results showed that the single hole orifice with a two-sided sloped edge caused less pressure drop, which in order to control the cavitation phenomenon is more efficient compared to the single-hole and multi-hole orifices with one-sided sloped edges and the same equal diameter ratio. Additionally, all experiments were simulated in the second part of this research using finite volume methods. Considering the complexity of the problem, several numerical solutions were investigated to approach the experimental results. Finally, it was determined that the type of gridding, turbulence method, and cavitation model have a great influence on the accuracy of the obtained numerical results.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90441313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the behavior and pattern of energy consumption in a hybrid chiller plant that includes a combination of two air-cooled screw vapor compression and three single effect absorption chillers. In order to properly understand the pattern of energy consumption, an existing mechanical room in a hospital in Tehran has been studied for five months, and its energy consumption has been compared with the optimized model.

Various parameters that affect heat transfer, such as the fluid density, flow velocity and Nusselt number distributions of the radius clearance were studied based on varied nozzle to target surface spacing H and mass flow rate. It has been found that the fluid density was a dominant factor and the velocity was the secondary factor for the gas jet heat transfer performances. The overall heat transfer was improved with a reduction in the number of nozzles, for given inlet mass flow rate boundary conditions. The decrease of H/di (di, nozzle diameter) may have positive or negative effects on the heat transfer performance from the impingement surface. Reducing the radius gap H, for a certainty, increases the average density of the fluid in the clearance, which is desirable in applications that enhance heat transfer performance. But when the radius gap (H) is small enough, increasing di may have a negative impact on heat transfer.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75739641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a finger touches the surface of an object, people can simultaneously perceive curvature, texture, softness, temperature, and so on. However, in most of research activities, the designed haptic feedback devices can only focus on a certain channel. In this paper, the rendering of curved and periodic textured surfaces involving two channels, i.e., curvature and texture, was studied. Two psychophysical experiments were conducted to investigate whether the coupling of kinesthetic feedback of curvature and tactile feedback of texture could reproduce curved and textured surfaces with high fidelity. The results showed a deviation of the point of subjective equality values in terms of curvature and roughness, indicating that the curvature rendering and texture rendering have an impact on each other. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the bias when making virtual rendering. The influence of curvature on texture rendering is reduced by recalculating and adjusting the spatial period of the synthesized texture in real-time; the influence of texture on curvature rendering is eliminate by compensating the force difference between touch on physical strip and artificial stimulus.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76039215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The velocity fluctuation of traditional feed drive system (FDS) lead to excessive wear of diamond particles. The dynamic performance of the FDS has time-varying characteristics during the processing of stone with a large material removal rate. In this paper, a novel FDS was proposed. Firstly, the dynamic modeling of FDS was set up on account of lumped parameter method (LPM). Then the speed of the new FDS was compared with that of the traditional FDS. Finally, the frequency response characteristics of the system were solved by Lagrange and state space method. Results showed that the new FDS has a faster response feed and less velocity fluctuation. The natural frequency and the amplitude of acceleration increase with decreasing load. With the time-varying load, the range of the second-order natural frequency increased by 50 Hz, which was larger than that of the first-order. The modal test verified that the first two natural frequencies of the saw blade are within the range of the natural frequencies of FDS. The proposed FDS can guide for design, reduce the wear of diamond, and improve processing quality.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77212806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when trying to reproduce the behavior of an airliner that flies at transonic conditions using a scaled model that flies at nearly-incompressible flow conditions, this assumption is no longer valid and both flutter speed and static aerodynamic loading are subject to large discrepancies. To address this issue, we present an optimization-based approach for wing planform design that matches the scaled flutter speeds and modes of the reference aircraft when the Mach number cannot be matched. This is achieved by minimizing the squared error between the full-size and scaled aerodynamic models. This method is validated using the Common Research Model wing at the reference aircraft Mach number. The error in flutter speed is computed using the same wing at model conditions, which are in the nearly-incompressible regime. Starting from the baseline wing, its planform is optimized to match the reference response despite different conditions, achieving a reduction of the error in the predicted flutter speed from 7.79% to 2.13%.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79021600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that the capacitance in the electrical circuit system related to the first-order derivative of the output voltage on a load resistor, and the variable dual-capacitor was strongly affected by the coupling of up and down superposition instantaneous electrostatic force and limited space by the length of nonlinear stoppers. The numerical calculation results and the experimental results in our analysis based on our system had a good agreement, and the numerical simulation results presented rich nonlinear impacts dynamic responses through the imposed voltage and the height of stoppers in MEMS variable dual-capacitive device. The device in operation cannot reach the 0.6 time's initial gap due to small forcing amplitude (1.026 g). However, we observed that the movable plate and stoppers (across the 0.6 time's initial gap) had fierce impacts due to big forcing amplitude (4 g) on to the device. With asymmetric stopper each impact, we also concluded that the movable plate would experience attenuations of the displacement until the moment to the next impacts. Moreover, the height of stoppers can not only result in complicated dynamic motion of the movable plate, but also can modulate a voltage of the fixed plate with its asymmetry structure.","PeriodicalId":49018,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & Industry","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72955437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
