In this method, the far-field acoustic pressures are used in non-cavitating condition. In this paper, the far-field acoustic pressures are obtained from Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) equations using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) in specific hydrophone array and then the unsteady rotating force, acting by the propeller on the fluid, is obtained as the most important sound source in non-cavitating condition. The unsteady rotating forces are extracted using inverse method by analytical code in Matlab. The correct solution is independence to the optimum select of regularization parameter from transfer function; the transfer function represents relationship between the force coefficients and the far-field acoustic pressure. Therefore, the appropriate range of regularization parameter should be choice in order to an ill-conditioned problem from transfer function is solve. The analytical code is solved for different regularization parameters and then the unsteady rotating forces are obtained for three sections on the blade surface. The inverse method could be used for dipole strength distribution calculation as the most important sound source in non-cavitating condition in order to design the noiseless of marine propeller.","PeriodicalId":90573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied mechanical engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2168-9873.1000290","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45913742","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}

Green pallets were sintered at three stages at three different temperatures 600°C, 800°C and 1100°C. XRD and EDX analyses confirmed that no residue of space holder remained in the sintered foam samples. The compressive deformation behavior of Ti6Al alloy foams with varying relative densities was conducted under different strain rates (0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 s-1). The plateau stress, the Young’s modulus and the energy absorption of the foam increase with increase in the relative density following power law relationships. But the densification strain decreases with increases in relative density following a linear relationship. The strain rate sensitivity and the strain rate sensitivity parameter of these foams were also examined, and it was found that the strain rate sensitivity parameters were varying in the range 0.034 to 0.078.","PeriodicalId":90573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied mechanical engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2168-9873.1000291","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43745338","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}

In this paper, we have analyzed the kinematics of five axes hinge, we have obtained the principal analytical relationships between constructive elements and, as a result, we can control the trajectory of hinge by means of following parameters: starting angle between hinge brackets, ratio of the brackets length, and shape of sliding guides. Therefore, this analytical approach can be used as a tool for the design of the concealed hinge which allows having a desirable trajectory of the door movement.","PeriodicalId":90573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied mechanical engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2168-9873.1000281","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48123088","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}

Information is provided on the stress state of coatings based on a solution of expanded polystyrene depending on the time of curing, the thickness of the coating. It is established, that the process of curing polymer coatings passes through three stages. On the first stage of coating formation, intensive evaporation of the solvent occurs. In the second stage - after evaporative of approximately 70% of the solvent, an intensive growth of internal stresses begins. In the third stage, the concentration of the solvent is reduced to a value close to equilibrium and its evaporation rate approaches zero. Internal stresses, having reached a maximum value are stabilized. The introduction of a plasticizer in an amount of 1-4% (by volume) causes a sharp decrease in internal stresses. It is established, that internal stresses increase linearly with increasing polymer coating thickness. A mathematical model of the dependence of internal stresses on coating thickness is given.","PeriodicalId":90573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied mechanical engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2168-9873.1000280","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45126233","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 bonding strength for the T800SC carbon fibers was maximized for a 50:50 (wt/wt) ratio of epoxy resins containing four and three epoxy groups per molecule, respectively, and that for the IMS60 carbon fibers was maximized for a 70:25:5 (wt/wt/wt) ratio of epoxy resins containing four, three, and two epoxy groups per molecule, respectively.

Shell structures are composed of shell bearing elements and mainly used in oil and gas tanks, offshore marine platforms, silos, funnels, cooling towers, ship and aircraft body, etc. Despite the frequent use of steel cylindrical shells, their construction and assembling process has caused main problems. In these structures, there is no possibility for the integrated construction due to their large shell extent and they are built using a number of welded curved panel parts; hence, some geometrical imperfections emerge. Most of these imperfections are caused by the process of welding, transportation, inappropriate rolling, as well as installation and implementation problems. These imperfections have a direct impact on the structural behavior of shells during the buckling and external compressive load. Since in most shell tanks during operation, there is high possibility for the suction (vacuum) state, compressive forces in their thin wall cause buckling and failure. In this research, the imperfections made in steel cylindrical tanks being constructed in one of the refinery site are introduced and evaluated using a field study. Relying on the statistical inference, they are classified and then, by studying the effective factors and origin in their generation, the common imperfections are identified. Later, the impact of common imperfections on the buckling behavior is experimentally evaluated under uniform external pressure. Then, nonlinear numerical analysis of the test specimens is performed. Finally, experimental results, finite element and analytical relations are compared.","PeriodicalId":90573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied mechanical engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2168-9873.1000268","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43616183","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}
