An axial compressor has high efficiency under design conditions, but its stable working range is narrow. Adjusting the rotational speed can effectively expand range. In this paper, a five-stage for specific compressed air energy storage (CAES) system taken as research object, and different (DRS) characteristics are studied with NUMECA software. Firstly, influence of DRS on overall aerodynamic p...

This paper presents an overview of the characteristics potentially influencing profile vortex shedding (PVS) phenomenon being relevant in noise and vibration low-speed axial fan rotor blades. Dimensional analysis has been applied to explore essential dimensionless quantities a systematic comprehensive manner. On this basis, limitations have established, simplifying assumptions set up terms PVS ...

developed whose read/write characteristics are comparable to 1.2-mm-thick optical disks. The development difficulty of the thin optical disks was the achievement of stable rotation equivalent to 1.2-mm-thick optical disks. This report presents the results of studies conducted to improve the axial accelerations of thin optical disks on 8× speed (27.92 m/s) based on the digital versatile disc rec...

Under the condition of variable rotating speed, it is difficult to extract degradation characteristics axial piston pump, which also reduces accuracy recognition. To address these problems, this paper proposes a state recognition method for pumps by combining spline-kernelled chirplet transform (SCT), adaptive chirp mode pursuit (ACMP), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). Firstly, SCT ACMP...

Ahstraet-Axisymmetric deformations of a transversely isotropic, rigid/perfectly plastic target being penetrated by a long rigid cylindrical rod with an ellipsoidal nose have been analyzed. The deformations of the target appear steady to an observer situated at the penetrator nose tip. The contact between the target and the penetrator is assumed to be smooth. Computed results show that the defor...

Models of monodisperse particle flow in partially filled three-dimensional tumblers often assume that flow along the axis of rotation is negligible. We test this assumption, for spherical and double cone tumblers, using experiments and discrete element method simulations. Cross sections through the particle bed of a spherical tumbler show that, after a few rotations, a colored band of particles...

High-speed terahertz (THz) reflection three-dimensional (3D) imaging is demonstrated using electronically-controlled optical sampling (ECOPS) and beam steering. ECOPS measurement is used for scanning an axial range of 7.8 mm in free space at 1 kHz scan rate while a transverse range of 100 × 100 mm(2) is scanned using beam steering instead of moving an imaging target. Telecentric f-θ lenses with...

This article presents the details of a newly constructed 3-dof experimental spacecraft simulator facility at the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The main component of the facility is a cylindrical platform located on a hemi-spherical air bearing that allows friction-free rotation about three axes. The facility includes a variety of actuators and sensors: ...

Swept source/Fourier domain OCT is demonstrated for in vivo imaging of the rodent eye. Using commercial swept laser technology, we developed a prototype OCT imaging system for small animal ocular imaging operating in the 1050 nm wavelength range at an axial scan rate of 100 kHz with ~6 µm axial resolution. The high imaging speed enables volumetric imaging with high axial scan densities, measuri...

We developed a micromotor based miniature catheter with an outer diameter of 3.2 mm for ultrahigh speed endoscopic swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) using a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) at a 1 MHz axial scan rate. The micromotor can rotate a micro-prism at several hundred frames per second with less than 5 V drive voltage to provide fast and stable scanning, whic...
