mechanical,properties,factors,safety,spider,draglines Experiments were carried out to determine the strain energy capacity and breaking strain of spider drag-line silk. These properties are discussed in terms of a mathematical model of a spider falling on a drag-line. It was found that the strain energy capacity of the drag-line was insufficient to absorb the potential energy lost by [...]
Mechanical Vibration Measurements on TTF Cryomodules Mechanical Vibration Measurements on TTF Cryomodules Here we describe the new acquisition system and showthe first vibration spectra detected during normal operation of the TTF cryomodules Download
Piezoelectric Power Scavenging of Mechanical Vibration his article presents a model of a piezoelectric transducer, a mechanical vibration spectrum, the simulation of the model, prototype of the power scavenging circuit, experimental results and its future perspectives Download
cover object damage,borescope inspection, troubleshooting,and maintenance of the LM2500 and the Allison 501-K series of GTEs. The majority of this chapter deals with the LM2500 GTE damage evaluation. The last part of this chapter is on proper preservation and corrosion control methods for maintaining all GTEs in peak operating status Download
