In this study, rotating flexible shaft-disk system having flexible beams is considered as a dynamic system. After neglecting nonlinear terms, torsional vibration of the shaft-disk system and lateral and longitudinal vibration of the flexible beam are still coupled through the motor speed. The system has three natural frequencies; the flexible shaft-disk system torsional natural frequency, the f...

In this paper, the dynamic response of a three-rotor flexible coupling to the angularmisalignment has been studied. The coupling is a power transmission agent between the motor andgearbox, in the power transmission system of SAG Mill (semi autogenously mill) in the Gol-e-Gohariron ore complex in Sirjan, Iran. Degrees of freedom of the system are the model's lateral deflectionsand the rigid-body...

A Multivariable Control System is designed for an Electromagnetic Bearing and Rotating Shaft System. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR) methodology is used to design a robust Model Based Compensator (MBC). The electromagnetic bearing consists of an electromagnetic actuator, operated in magnetic "attractive" force mode, with permanent magnet biased coils. The per...

Fracture of Tibia is the most common amongst pediatric fractures. Most tibial shaft fractures are treated conservatively with close reduction and above knee cast application. Surgery is indicated only when the fracture is unstable, open fracture and associated with multiple injuries. Flexible intramedullary nailing is commonly used for diaphyseal tibial fracture and is also well used in other l...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of shaft stiffness on grip and clubhead kinematics. Two driver shafts with disparate levels of stiffness, but very similar inertial properties, were tested by 33 golfers representing a range of abilities. Shaft deflection data as well as grip and clubhead kinematics were collected from 14 swings, with each shaft, for each golfer using a...

Follow-the-leader propagation allows for the insertion of flexible surgical instruments along curved paths, reducing the access required for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery. Currently, the most promising follow-the-leader instruments use the alternating memory method containing two mechanical memory-banks for controlling the motion of the flexible shaft, which reduces the number...

The oldest of all the shaft specifications is flex. Once the production problems had been overcome which enabled steel shafts to become a reality, early steel shaft manufacturers began to experiment with producing shafts, which possessed different amounts of resistance to bending. Through the 70 years of shaft design that have followed the introduction of the steel shaft, companies have produce...

The treatment of humeral shaft fractures ranges from conservative modalities to operative fixation, including plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary fixation. Nonunion is a complication of conservative and operative interventions but is more often associated with elastic nailing. This article discusses elucidates the successful outcomes achieved with flexible nailing of humeral shaft fractures.

in the diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation (egr) components, valve and connecting pipes are the critical components and fails often during new engine development. these components are important for meeting nox emissions norms. therefore design of these components should remain robust. but the challenge in design is compact packaging of complete egr components on the engine consequently vibr...
