Seems fine to me. Step 6 will tell you if you did it right. The residual should be small, and also shouldn’t show any low order structure that seems too similar to any of the fit zernikes.

The mechanical energy produced by a Stirling engine using hot water at around 350K depends on factors like engine efficiency, temperature difference, and design. Generally, small engines might produce a few watts, while larger ones can generate several kilowatts or more. Specific values vary based on these factors.

The Rayleigh number (Ra) is a dimensionless number used to predict the flow regime (conduction, convection, or mixed) in a fluid when it is heated from below. In the context of a phase change material (PCM)-heatsink system with fins, the characteristic length is an important parameter for calculating the Rayleigh number.

The characteristic length (L) used in the Rayleigh number calculation can vary depending on the geometry of the system. In the case of a PCM-heatsink with fins, the characteristic length can be defined based on the specific geometry you are dealing with. Here are a few possibilities:

Remember that the choice of characteristic length depends on the dominant heat transfer mechanism in your specific setup. The key is to select a length scale that is relevant to the phenomenon you are trying to analyze.

Additionally, when dealing with PCM systems, keep in mind that the melting and solidification of the PCM can introduce additional complexity to the heat transfer process. You might need to consider the effects of latent heat and phase change in your analysis.

Before performing calculations, ensure that the physical properties of the fluid, PCM, and the geometry are accurately determined. It's recommended to consult relevant literature, research articles, or textbooks in the field of heat transfer to find appropriate values and guidance for your specific configuration.

Under the Eulerian Model, a drag model is to be chosen, what is the appropriate drag model to be used for such simulation?

Cantilever Design and Materials:**    - Use smaller and stiffer cantilevers: Smaller cantilevers have higher resonant frequencies, allowing for faster scanning without compromising sensitivity.    - Explore novel materials: Cantilevers made from materials with higher stiffness and lower thermal noise can improve both speed and resolution. 2. **Advanced Tip Technology:**    - High-quality tips: Utilize sharper and smaller tips for improved resolution and reduced tip-sample interaction forces.    - Functionalized tips: Attach functional molecules or nanoparticles to the AFM tip for enhanced specificity and contrast. 3. **Feedback System Optimization:**    - Advanced control algorithms: Implement advanced feedback algorithms that minimize settling time, reduce artifacts, and optimize scanning trajectories.    - Model-based control: Use predictive models to anticipate and compensate for tip-sample interactions, enabling faster scanning while maintaining image quality. 4. **Dynamic AFM Techniques:**    - Frequency modulation AFM (FM-AFM): This technique minimizes tip-sample interaction forces and can enhance resolution while maintaining high-speed scanning capabilities.    - Multi-frequency AFM: Simultaneously excite multiple resonances of the cantilever to extract additional information and improve imaging speed. 5. **Parallel Scanning:**    - Array-based AFM: Develop AFM systems with multiple cantilever arrays or probes, enabling simultaneous imaging of multiple areas on the sample surface.    - Fast z-scanning: Implement rapid vertical scanning mechanisms to reduce the time required for three-dimensional imaging. 6. **Real-time Imaging and Analysis:**    - On-the-fly data analysis: Process and analyze data during scanning to adjust imaging parameters in real-time, optimizing imaging conditions for speed and resolution.    - Adaptive scanning strategies: Adjust scanning parameters dynamically based on the sample's topography to focus on regions of interest. 7. **Automation and Software Improvements:**    - Automated image stitching: Develop software that automatically stitches together multiple scans to create large-area, high-resolution images.    - AI-driven image reconstruction: Utilize machine learning algorithms to enhance image quality and extract information from noisy data. 8. **Sample Preparation and Environment:**    - Controlled environment: Maintain stable temperature, humidity, and vibration conditions to reduce thermal drift and other sources of noise.    - Sample treatment: Optimize sample preparation techniques to minimize surface roughness and improve the quality of the images. 9. **High-Speed Scanners:**    - Piezoelectric actuators: Utilize high-speed, low-noise piezoelectric scanners for rapid tip movement with minimal mechanical noise. 10. **Non-contact and Tapping Mode AFM:**     - Non-contact AFM: Operate in non-contact mode to minimize tip-sample interaction forces, reducing the risk of sample damage and achieving higher resolution.     - Tapping mode: Utilize tapping mode to scan samples while intermittently contacting the surface, reducing wear on the tip and sample. Remember that advancements in AFM technology often involve a trade-off between speed and resolution, so careful consideration of the specific imaging goals and sample characteristics is crucial when implementing these strategies.

The following article regarding apple cultivars are relevant to this case:

And why sparse matrix has computational benefits than diagonal matrix for large sizes ?

1) At first , you have to create the model by defining the properties and geometry of the model.

2)Then mesh the model and apply the appropriate boundary conditions to simulate the loading and constraints in your analysis.

3)After this for adding a deflection expression, you can use the Abaqus Expression Language (AEL) or Python scripting.

4)You can create an expression by navigating to the "Model" module and selecting "Expressions" from the drop-down menu.

5)Then in "Model" module, select "Output Requests" and create a new request such as displacements or strains, and set the "Component Scope" to the desired direction of deflection. In the "Expressions" section of the request, assign your deflection expression to the appropriate variable.

6) Then just run the analysis and post processing for extract the deflection result.

I think these steps helps you to solve your problem.

The Reynolds number UD/nu=2300 is based on a smooth circular pipe of diameter D, with STEADY mean flow velocity U and fluid of kinematic viscosity nu. Below this critical Reynolds number any perturbation due to an obstacle will not cause persistent turbulence to occur far downstream of the obstacle. Of course locally the wake of a blunt body placed in the pipe can be turbulent, but soon the flow will relaminarize if we travel further downstream. Above Re=2300 the flow does not need to be turbulent. It can be turbulent if there is a sufficiently large initial upstream perturbation. In principle the flow can remain laminar if the inlet is very smooth and care is taken to avoid vibrations. Experimentally fully developed laminar pipe flows have been achieved for Re=500. 000. It is important to realize that this critical Reynolds number does depend on the geometry of the cross-section of the channel. For a rectangular channel of height h and width w >>h, usually one considers a Reynolds number Re=Uh/nu based on the channel heigth. The critical Reynolds number for allowing turbulence is around Re=hU/nu=1100. There is however much less literature on flows through slit shaped channels than circular pipes. If you consider an open channel flow, clearly the critical Reynolds number will be quite different from Re=2300 and of course it does depend on the length scale used in the definition of this Reynolds number!

Hi

Does that mean you want to compare different bodies with a fixed underbody? If so, can't you consider the underbody rigid in your software? If not, can you ask your question more clearly?

There are several methods used in the automotive industry to detect damage or cracks, depending on the type of material and the location of the potential damage. Here are a few examples:

Dear Auritro Samanta,

Maybe my answer is too late for you. However, it can be helpful to others.

One option to manipulate TRNSYS simulations is by the 'dck' file that can be generated from the TRNSYS model (the tpf file).

The dck file is a plain text command line file, which TRNSYS reads and executes the codes.

TRNSYS can be started from the prompt to execute a dck file by the following command: <[trnsys_path] [dck_file_path] /h>.

The </h> will hide the trnsys window, and it will be executed in the background.

Thus, you can write the tpf model with some tags, generate the dck file, search in the dck for the tags that you used, and then replace the tags with the values you want to use.

I hope this can be helpful to someone.

Kind regards,

André.

Thank you Gaurav for your interest.

In aerospace the wake has always been a disadvantage from the design point. But is it possible to use it for solving the problem, or designing a device, may be the cooling mechanism.

Using the problem itself to generate the solution. Reverse engineering if I m correct.

Yes, you have to define a multi-phase model, e.g., VOF or Euler-Euler.

Hi,

you should use design pressure for numerical simulation plus the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid. Design pressure is a conventional number that is greater than or equal to working pressure. For this case, I guess working pressure shall be at least the saturated pressure of LPG or a few kPa higher.

Adoption of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) in a production sector, such as machine tools (Lathe, Milling, Grinding, Drilling), presents both advantages and disadvantages.

Pros of MQL include:

Cons of MQL include:

It is important to consider both the advantages and disadvantages of MQL when deciding whether to adopt this technology in a production sector. An in-depth analysis of the specific machining process and material being used, as well as a thorough evaluation of the available MQL systems, can help determine if MQL is a suitable choice.

A hundred year omission from the yes men in physics:

Since by definition frequency=1/(time period) and all Doppler shifts (axial, transverse and gravitational) change all observed frequencies on an object by same factor K. They should all change all observed time periods by 1/K on that body. NOT JUST the transverse Doppler shift of relativity. Because the above has not been obvious for some time. The attached PDF file has in it a proof of the same by comparing the Fourier series of a time function with series of the Doppler shifted function. It also gives some impacts of that. Most impacts are in high energy physics. Also note factors in observing the above: Accelerators generate noise many ways (like fast moving particles transfer energy to standing waves etc.) . The axial shift has an average over all angles of zero but for most angles it is lager than the transverse. But the variance of axial shift does have a mean over all angles above zero.

Regarding the 3rd question, the area under curve represents toughness (amount of work done /unit volume) of material specimen, In you case it is 96.1kPa %. The tensile strength is however, ~580.1 kPa = ~ 0.6 MPa. and the Youngs (elastic) modulus is ~ (580.1 /95.5)*(100/1000) = 0.61MPa

However, i am not sure if there are direct conversion units from Pa% to J/mm^3 .

To calculate an ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) table for a quadratic model in Python, you can use the statsmodels library. Here is an example of how you can do this:

#################################

import statsmodels.api as sm

# Fit the quadratic model using OLS (Ordinary Least Squares)

model = sm.OLS.from_formula('y ~ x + np.power(x, 2)', data=df)

results = model.fit()

# Print the ANOVA table

print(sm.stats.anova_lm(results, typ=2))

#################################

In this example, df is a Pandas DataFrame that contains the variables y and x. The formula 'y ~ x + np.power(x, 2)' specifies that y is the dependent variable and x and x^2 are the independent variables. The from_formula() method is used to fit the model using OLS. The fit() method is then used to estimate the model parameters.

The anova_lm() function is used to calculate the ANOVA table for the model. The typ parameter specifies the type of ANOVA table to compute, with typ=2 corresponding to a Type II ANOVA table.

This code will print the ANOVA table to the console, with columns for the source of variance, degrees of freedom, sum of squares, mean squares, and F-statistic. You can also access the individual elements of the ANOVA table using the results object, for example:

#################################

# Print the F-statistic and p-value

print(results.fvalue)

print(results.f_pvalue)

#################################

I hope that helps

To define debonding at the matrix-particle interface using the cohesive surface method in Abaqus, you can follow these steps:

Keep in mind that the cohesive surface method is just one approach to modeling debonding in particulate composites. Other methods, such as the cohesive element method, may also be used depending on the specific needs of your simulation.

As Dental practice requires a large inventory, all materials, instruments and equipments can be innovated, improved and tested using principles of Mechanical engineering and material science researchers. The discussion about new restorative material is visible in this group. However we should also think of newer materials for root canals which can match ideal requisites as well as are easy to manipulate. 3D imaging, impressions, printing, milling methods, its properties, stress distribution during function, longevity, fatigue etc can be done. There is whole world of possibilities with Finite Element Analysis.

Moreover designing new instruments with minimal likelihood of discomfort to patients and can help in best manoeuvring the oral tissues as well as materials being used in oral cavity. New designs of tongue, cheek and lip retractors which enable holding of suction tips as well as help in keeping mouth open and stabilising the head. So new retractors for use during soft tissue laser procedures. New materials which can be quickly disinfected/ sterilised? New equipments like design of dental chair lights for better visibility. Lights can be integrated in instruments/ retractors for better visibility.

The list is endless with out of box thinking for dental chairs design, operatory design, placement of operating tray near patient's mouth.

We may even design new autoclaves with specific modifications for sensitive dental instruments.

We can turn our directions into having environment friendly dental materials and consumables. The disposables used in dentistry are largely made of plastics and non recyclable materials as on now. There is a need to think about environment friendly alternates etc.

Hello dear Hiba Arous,

Internal combustion engines are heat engines whose heat transfer plays a very important role in their performance and efficiency. In an internal combustion engine, the cooling system is responsible for dissipating excess engine heat. The cooling system of an internal combustion engine consists of many components, one of which is the cooling passage of the cylinder block and the cylinder head. Therefore, you can focus on the effects of the new design of the cooling inlet and outlet position on the engine body temperature distribution and pump power.

Although this is not related to my field of expertise, I recommend it based on my experience working with internal combustion engines.

Good luck!

Hello, I'm having the same problem. Were you able to find a solution? Can you help me ?

It depends on whether you plan to use it as an insulating or a jacketing compounds and it also depends on whether it is for AC or DC application, if AC, whether it is power frequency or telecommunication cable (high frequency) and what is the voltage level. Please be more specific.

I attach a preprint chapter from a book I am working on.

The perspective is different. Topology optimization is aimed at optimization while generative design more at conceptualization, when different forms are explored

Bonjour, I think you should activate the extra dimension that is available when you use a porous medium in COMSOL. Coupling of "Heat Transfer in Porous Media" and "Heat Transfer in Solids and Fluids" at boundary conditions.

Hi Mahdi Ebrahimnejad Shalmani

I understand that the 4DOF system for the washer can be quite lengthy. However, I'm unsure if your question is a control problem. If it is, and the 4DOF mathematical model can be expressed in such form:

x' = f(x) + g(x)·F_c(ω)

where

then I think it is possible to design the spin speed profile for the control input, ω, so that the desired responses of x can be achieved. If you want to design the profile, you need to at least understand the mathematical equation for F_c(ω). Do you want to regulate the spin speed at 300 rpm, 600 rpm, or 1200 rpm? Because I see only the signal oscillates within the dimensionless amplitudes ± 4×10^–3.

Hi Saeb AmirAhmadi Chomachar

I have plotted the signal according to your suggestion, and compared it with Mahdi's original signal. Note that if t₁ > 5/τ, then exp(–τ·θ(t – t₁)·t) ≈ 0 after t₁, because exp(–0.5·t) has decayed to almost zero.

Agree with Mohammad Abboud sir

The application of jerk in physics have many instances and one of the example I can shot is simple that the jerk is nothing but it is all about the rate at which any objects acceleration changes with the time or with respect to time.

Hi Bhaskaranand Bhatt

These are great questions!

Storage modulus is related to the amount of elastic structure in the sample and the higher it is, the more solid like the material is (as opposed to liquid like). If the storage modulus exceeds the viscous modulus, the material will usually ultimately fail by breaking elastically rather than being viscously pulled apart. I say usually, as these moduli are determined usually in the linear viscoelastic region (LVR) of the material whereas destructive tests are outside of the LVR of the material.

The ratio of viscous modulus to elastic modulus is also the Tan delta. Therefore if Tan d is below one, the sample is solid-like and if above 1 then liquid-like (although it may be a very stiff liquid).

With regard to tribology, I have less information, however some assumptions may be as follows. If a grease, the elastic modulus would need to be high enough to prevent the material from flowing under it's own weight (and be able to start up flow at all likely environmental temperatures). You may want the viscous modulus to be higher for a system where there are high shear forces eg in a wind turbine (to prevent scratching etc) , whereas it should be lower viscosity (and lower modulus) for a lighter stress application, eg a small motor. People often use a Stribeck curve to mimic an application and measure the friction / lubricity of a surfaces or lubricant.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Phil

Prof. Ajitanshu Vedrtnam: In my opinion, the projects are more than enough instead of your suggested section.

The way we create flameless oxyfuel since 20 years currently used in about 500 installations in the steel and aluminium industries, is by separating the oxygen and fuel nozzles in the burner and using the velocity of the oxygen to drag the furnace gases in to the flame. The whole recirculation, if you want to call it so, takes place in the furnace/vessel space. We typically operate close to stoichiometric combustion, like lambda at 1.03 (oxyfuel firing uses less oxygen than air-fuel firing).

I agree with the previous answers. The natural frequencies are real. However, the answers refer to Timoshenko's beam theory, which also includes the effect of shearing. Shearing leads to the situation that the beam cross-section is no longer orthogonal to the beam axis. Additionally, Timoshenko also considers the rotary inertia of the beam. In Rayleigh's beam theory, only the inertia but not the shearing is included. The question refers only to this more simple beam theory. Bernoulli's most simple beam theory neglects both, rotary inertia and shearing.
