A typical passive magnetic bearing has been modeled and analyzed for its performance characteristics. The magnetic bearing studied in this work comprised of a Shaft, inner magnets sleeved over the shaft, and outer magnetic rings. A detailed analysis has been perform on the force exerted by a permanent magnet on the shaft nurture to restore the shaft to its equilibrium position when an eccentric...

Cavitation is among the most complicated and common damages of spillway structures. This phenomenon is controlled by different parameters including the pressure, flow velocity, spillway surface material, operation time, and air flow content. The cavitation index is calculated along the spillway and compared with its critical value using the measured values of the flow’s hydraulic parameters. Th...

Abstract Stepped spillways are suitable and economical options for high-storage dams that require significant energy dissipation, structural adaptation to roller-compacted concrete dams, spontaneous flow aeration. In this study, a numerical analysis of the hydraulic characteristics skimming regime stepped spillway Zirdan Dam is carried out. A comparison between smooth provided. By preparing mod...

Abstract In a stepped spillway, the spillway face is provided with series of steps from near crest to toe. This type attractive for water resource management because it dissipates energy that within flow. When dissipated by steps, reduces reduction otherwise must occur at toe spillway. present study, nine physical models slopes 15, 25, 45° and number varying 5 50 have been constructed. The spil...

abstract   background: fractures of the tibia are important for their commonness and controversy in their management. both conservative and surgical techniques have been introduced in an effort to speed time to :::::union::::: while minimizing the occurrence of complications. standard treatment for low-energy tibial shaft fractures includes closed reduction and cast immobilization. the purpose ...

Windows Dam Analysis Modules (WinDAM) is a set of modular software components that can be used to analyze overtopped earthen embankments and internal erosion of dams. WinDAM is being developed in stages. The initial computational modules address routing of floods through the reservoir with dam overtopping and evaluation of the potential for vegetation or riprap to delay or prevent failure of th...

the reliable operation of spillways, in emergency as well as normal conditions, is one of the vital components in dam safety. free or uncontrolled overflow spillways are the most reliable choice however. they usually impose higher construction cost and /or results in wasting a considerable amount of water or live capacity of the reservoirs. employing fuse gates might be a way of reconciling dam...
