Slender planing surfaces

An Energy Based Coefficient of Restitution for Planar Impacts of Slender Bars with Massive External Surfaces∗

A new method to solve the collision problems of slender bars with massive external surfaces is developed. The proposed solution accounts for the effect of impact induced vibrations and multiple collisions on the post collision velocities of the impacting members. The approach is based on representing the vibrational energy of the bars during the collision process in terms of a non-dimensional p...

Shape and force analysis of capillary bridge between two slender structured surfaces

When a capillary bridge of a constant volume is formed between two surfaces, the shape of the liquid bridge will change as the separation between those surfaces is varied. To investigate the variable forces and Laplace pressure of the capillary bridge, as the shape the bridge evolves, a pseudo-three-dimensional force model of the capillary bridge is developed. Based on the characteristics of th...

Fabrication of slender elastic shells by the coating of curved surfaces.

Various manufacturing techniques exist to produce double-curvature shells, including injection, rotational and blow molding, as well as dip coating. However, these industrial processes are typically geared for mass production and are not directly applicable to laboratory research settings, where adaptable, inexpensive and predictable prototyping tools are desirable. Here, we study the rapid fab...

Properties of Slender Rings

Slender rings and their products are characterized in terms of algebraic and topological properties. Possible limitations on uncountable products of such rings are discussed. Ring, module, and topological terminology and notation are standard. R denotes a unital ring with identity 1, and R ω denotes its countable product, that is, the set of all sequences of elements of R. Of course ω {0, 1,. ....
