Over the past decade, NASA, under a succession of rotary-wing programs has been moving towards coupling multiple discipline analyses in a rigorous consistent manner to evaluate rotorcraft conceptual designs. Handling qualities is one of the component analyses to be included in a future NASA Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization framework for conceptual design of VTOL aircraft. Similarly, ...

A virtual prototype of oblique rotary tilling based on SPH(Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) was developed. Digital simulation and field test of oblique rotary tilling were conducted. The digital simulation suggested that soil mainly was torn to failure during oblique rotary tilling. Therefore, oblique rotary tilling could save energy. The given power consumption comparison of digital simulation a...

A rotary resonance echo double resonance (R-REDOR) experiment is described for measuring heteronuclear dipolar coupling under magic-angle spinning. Rotary resonance reintroduces both dipolar coupling and chemical shift anisotropy with an rf field matching the spinning frequency. The resonance effect from chemical shift anisotropy can be refocused with a rotary resonance echo. The R-REDOR experi...

Piping vibration which is mainly caused by the torsional vibration of rotary compressor can be a major noise source of air-conditioner. Especially, the tangential vibration of rotary compressor which is due to the torsional vibration is much higher than the radial vibration or the vertical vibration of compressor. A study as to how the tangential vibration of rotary compressor is related with t...

The change from steerable motor to rotary steerable system has been both technically and commercially successful in Lybia. Through these case histories the paper will demonstrate benefits resulting from the use of rotary steerable systems that have led to a step change in overall drilling performance in the Middle East. This paper describes the successful introduction and application of a rotar...
