conclusions lv twist, torsion and untwist and also rate of them are significantly impaired in dcm and this impairment is well-related to lv global systolic and diastolic dysfunction. vvi is a new noninvasive technique that can be used to evaluate lv torsional parameters. results lv twist value (5.54 ± 1.94° in dcm vs. 11.5 ± 2.45° in control group) and also lv torsion (0.71 ± 0.28°/cm in dcm vs...

In this paper, the effect of Static VAr Compensator (SVC) parameters on the nonlinear interaction of steam power plant turbine-generator set is studied using the Modal Series (MS) method. A second order representation of a power system equipped with SVC is developed and then by MS method the nonlinear interaction of torsional modes is assessed under various conditions and the most influencing f...

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and phacoemulsification parameters of torsional mode versus the combined torsional and longitudinal ultrasound mode in hard cataract of Egyptian patients. Methods: This randomized comparative study evaluated eyes 1, 7, and 30 days after phacoemulsification with an Infiniti Vision System using the torsional mode versus the combined torsional (100%) and longitudin...

In this paper the effect of quadratic and cubic non-linearities of the system consisting of the crankshaft and torsional vibration damper (TVD) is taken into account. TVD consists of non-linear elastomer material used for controlling the torsional vibration of crankshaft. The method of multiple scales is used to solve the governing equations of the system. Meanwhile, the frequency response of t...

Wet friction clutches play a critical role in vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. It is unavoidable that they progressively degrade and eventually break down while the vehicles are under operational condition. To avoid unexpected failures, a proper condition monitoring tool extended with a lifetime prediction method should be implemented. In order to achieve this, appropriate parame...

We propose a coherent, strong-field approach to control the torsional modes of biphenyl derivatives, and develop a numerical scheme to simulate the torsional dynamics. By choice of the field parameters, the method can be applied either to drive the torsion angle to an arbitrary configuration or to induce free internal rotation. Transient absorption spectroscopy is suggested as a probe of torsio...

in this article, we tried to emphasis in how the range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings works. the designed base was according to provisions of the canadian standard, 2005 nbcc. the behavior of nonlinear dynamic time history of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional ground motions compatible with design spectra are investigated. these models c...

The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

The low temperature spectra of the detectable species methyl hydroperoxide (CH3OOH) and three sulfur analogs, the two isomers of methanesulfenic acid (CH3SOH and CH3OSH) and the methyl hydrogen disulfide (CH3SSH), are predicted from highly correlated ab initio methods (CCSD(T) and CCSD(T)-F12). Rotational parameters, anharmonic frequencies, torsional energy barriers, torsional energy levels, an...

In this paper surface energy and elastic medium effects on torsional vibrational behavior of nanorods are studied. The surface elasticity theory is used to consider the surface energy effects and the elastic medium is modeled as torsional springs attached to the nanorod. At the next step, Hamilton’s principle is utilized to derive governing equations and boundary conditions. Then, with the aid ...
