Near-Zero Parasitic Shift Flexure Pivots Based on Coupled n-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

Improvements in Resolution of 1H NMR of Solids

David Lyndon Emsley, Bruno Simões de Almeida

Magic angle spinning (MAS) in 1H NMR has allowed progress from featureless spectra in static samples to linewidths of a few hundreds of Hertz for powdered solids at the fastest spinning rates available today (100-150 kHz). While this is a remarkable improv ...

Triple Crossed Flexure Pivot Based on a Zero Parasitic Center Shift Kinematic Design

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Thanks to their absence of play, absence of contact friction and possible monolithic fabrication, flexure pivots offer advantages over traditional bearings in small-scale, high accuracy applications and environments where lubrication and wear debris are pr ...

Modelling and Sensors for Magnetically-Levitated Disc Drives

Juan Patricio Tomás Peralta Fierro

The development of new industrial applications has diverted the focus of research towards compacter and faster rotatory drives. These requirements push the classical ball-bearings of electric motors to the limits in terms of operational lifetime and fricti ...

One-minute average cruise track and ship velocity of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) undertaken during the austral summer of 2016/2017

Julia Schmale, Jenny Thomas, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

Dataset abstract The ship's cruise track, velocity, course over ground and heading at one-minute resolution for all five legs of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) are derived from a combination of: - the latitude/longitud ...

Mechanical Model for Drift-Induced Punching of Slab-Column Connections without Transverse Reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Katrin Beyer, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos

A mechanical model is presented for predicting the momentrotation relationship of interior slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement when subjected to seismically induced drifts. The model accounts explicitly for the three load-transfer acti ...

Spatially Sampled Pressure Profile Measurements in Externally Pressurized Gas Journal Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

Externally pressurized gas journal bearings (EPGJB) are widely adopted to support high speed rotors. This paper presents novel experimental benchmark test data which enables EPGJB model validation. Axial and circumferential pressure profile measurements ar ...

Rotation capacity and stress redistribution ability of R-UHPFRC-RC composite continuous beams: an experimental investigation

Eugen Brühwiler, Talayeh Noshiravani

The results of tests on two continuous composite beams combining a reinforced concrete (RC) beam with a layer of reinforced ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (R-UHPFRC) are presented. The R-UHPFRC element acts both as a tensile membrane and ...

Fatigue analysis of liquid-storage tank shell-to-base connections under multi-axial loading

Alain Nussbaumer, Gary Scott Prinz

During severe seismic events the base of unanchored steel liquid-storage tanks can uplift, causing large inelastic rotation demands at the shell-to-base connections and large multi-axial stresses (radial tension and circumferential compression) in the tank ...

Punching of Flat Slabs with Large Amounts of Shear Reinforcement

Stefan Lips

Punching shear reinforcement is an efficient method to increase not only the strength but also the deformation capacity of flat slabs supported by columns. Especially, the increase in deformation capacity is desired so that the load can be distributed to o ...
