Rubber bushings are extensively-used linking parts in a vehicle chassis that allow to filter noise and vibration. They influence much, however, the transient behaviour of the vehicle, such as its steering performance. Therefore building a multibody simulation with a relevant description of the rubber bushings is useful to describe the significant characteristics of the vehicle’s steering behavi...

In Salmonella, the rod substructure of the flagellum is a periplasmic driveshaft that couples the torque generated by the basal body motor to the extracellular hook and filament. The rod subunits self-assemble, spanning the periplasmic space and stopping at the outer membrane when a mature length of ~22 nm is reached. Assembly of the extracellular hook and filament follow rod completion. Hook i...

When steep lightning surge enters a pole-mounted distribution transformer, the voltage distribution of the internal windings is unbalanced. It is known that a layer-to-layer short or a turn-to-turn short occurs where the voltage distribution of windings is high. In this paper, the voltage distribution of the windings was measured at the primary and secondary sides of the transformer using a tes...

ABSTRACT: An intensive research work is carried out to determine the effect of humidity and contamination on cable termination and it’s aging. In this paper, the effect of atmospheric conditions on cable termination has been investigated by measurement of discharge inception voltage, discharge magnitude, dielectric loss and capacitance of each phase of cable. The three possible conditions i.e n...

The rod component of the bacterial flagellum polymerizes from the inner membrane across the periplasmic space and stops at a length of 25 nm at the outer membrane. Bushing structures, the P- and L-rings, polymerize around the distal rod and form a pore in the outer membrane. The flagellar hook structure is then added to the distal rod growing outside the cell. Hook polymerization stops after th...
