The energetic efficiency of actuators is a key parameter determining the possibility of device use. The actuators with two or more diaphragms have higher efficiency than the actuators with only one. The paper presents the investigations of the acoustic synthetic jet actuator with two opposite diaphragms. In the paper, synthetic jet velocity, Reynolds number and the energetic efficiency as a function of oscillating actuator frequency, for a different cavity, orifice configuration and one real input power P0 = 2 W were studied. The possibility of theoretical calculation of first and second resonance frequency were checked. The coupling ratio for actuators was calculated. The maximum energetic efficiency was η = 8.67% and Reynolds number Re = 8503. The possibility of using the same dependencies and rules during the design of actuators with two opposite diaphragms as in the case of actuators with one diaphragm was demonstrated. The results may be useful in the design of the actuators of the two membranes.","PeriodicalId":53557,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"17 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45205875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to identify the characteristics of the main motion components in the swash plate–slippers–piston assembly of the compressor and to estimate the friction torques in its bearings. Some models of this assembly are elaborated and presented in the paper. The main components of slipper complex motion were identified, such as reciprocal motion along the axis of piston, rotation around piston axis, and short-time rotation around its own axis. Friction torque in axial bearing was higher than in journal bearing and varied with the rotational angle. Friction torques in journal bearings varied with the rotational angle and had different courses for two bearings of the compressor.","PeriodicalId":53557,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"42 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41375089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A model was established between the drilling parameters and experimentally obtained data using ANN. The predicted values and measured values are fairly close, which indicates that the developed model can be effectively used to predict the burr height and surface roughness in drilling of stainless steel.

Our genetic modeling used the nonlinear acoustic technique based on Cox’s analytical model, Weibull’s probabilistic model, and Lebrun’s model describing the thermal stress by the two coefficients of expansion. The stress applied to our representative elementary volume is a uni-axial tensile stress. The numerical simulation shows that the Hemp- Sisal/Starch hybrid biocomposite is most resistant to thermal stresses as compared with Hemp/Starch biocomposite. It also shows that hybrid biocomposite materials have a high resistance to applied stresses (mechanical and thermal) compared to traditional materials and biocomposite materials. The results obtained in our study coincide perfectly with the results of Antoine et al., which showed through experimental tests that natural fibers perfectly improve the mechanical properties of biocomposite materials.","PeriodicalId":53557,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"23 1","pages":"253 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49422829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
