With the change and globalization of the internal and external environments and the application of the information network technology, the internal and B2B business models of the domestic machinery industry have been completely changed, and such key factors as ‘Innovation’, ‘Speed’ and ‘Flexibility’ have become the key values of the future competition in the machinery industry with e-Business a...

it is very important to test and evaluate the performance and ability of new-design machinery in comparison with available ones. based on this, a tractor front-mounted rice reaper was compared and evaluated with tiller- mounted and self-propelled reapers. field experiments were conducted to determine forward speed, field capacity, harvesting losses, labor and costs. experiments were conducted b...

The article deals with the computational study of rigid rotor coupled squeeze film dampers. Various techniques such as method computation synchronous response a circular centred orbit, harmonic balance method, and direct time integration are used to analyse nonlinear behaviour system. results indicate that system can exhibit both large orbit radius nonsynchronous quasiperiodic character. Howeve...

Variable-speed drives (VSDs) control the speed of machinery, pumps, mixers, fans and compressors to match the needs of the process. In many applications VSDs save so much energy that their economic payback time is only a matter of months. A new approach to the assessment of environmental impacts shows that the environmental payback time of VSDs can be even shorter, in many cases as little as on...

In this study, solutions for machinery layout with the aim of reducing transportation costs will be discussed. To do this, imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), which is a very complicated and effective meta-heuristic algorithm is introduced. In the offered algorithm, different kinds of machinery layout are considered in single-row as country and then the best possible layout is developed ba...

torque, speed, and power as mechanical variables are associated with the functional performance of any rotating machinery. the real-time performance and the efficiency of a machine can be determined with on-line measurement of these parameters. in this investigation a rotary torque meter (transducer) was constructed from strain gauge sensors for measuring the torque of rotating shafts. the syst...

for designing tillage implements it would be better to estimate soil forces exerted to the implements. many researches showed that numerical method of discrete element method (dem) is the cheapest and fastest technique for modeling granular material such as soil and especially sandy soil. in this study, paraplow and bentleg tines performance was compared with conventional tine using experimenta...

Speed and accuracy of protein synthesis are fundamental parameters for the fitness of living cells, the quality control of translation, and the evolution of ribosomes. The ribosome developed complex mechanisms that allow for a uniform recognition and selection of any cognate aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) and discrimination against any near-cognate aa-tRNA, regardless of the nature or position of the...
