  • Effect of lateral force on passenger comfort during a mechanically assisteddependent transfer

    Creator:
    Mast, Jonathan J.
    Abstract:
    Air travel presents several problems for passengers with disabilities. One in particular is how they get from their wheelchair and to an aircraft seat. The commonly used manual transfer method is hazardous to the assistants and the passenger. There are other alternatives, but they have plenty of room for improvement....

  • Modelling root reinforcement in shallow forest soils

    Creator:
    Skaugset, Arne E.
    Abstract:
    A hypothesis used to explain the relationship between timber harvesting and landslides is that tree roots add mechanical support to soil, thus increasing soil strength. Upon harvest, the tree roots decay which reduces soil strength and increases the risk of management -induced landslides. The technical literature does not adequately support...

  • Rebound predictions of mechanical collisions

    Creator:
    Lai, Liang-Ju
    Abstract:
    Predictions of mechanical collisions between two bodies frequently cannot be completed by the impulse-momentum equation together with a complete description of the motion of the system at the initial contact. Additional account must be taken of the deformations and frictional interaction induced by the impulsive reaction force, where the bodies...

  • Rebound predictions for elastic collisions

    Creator:
    Liu, Pao-pao
    Abstract:
    In this paper, a numerical method is used to predict the response of an elastic body during a collision in which both normal and tangential impulses are important. Results are compared with those from simplified prediction procedures, which stem from the assumptions that the energy-returning capacity of the normal deformation...

  • Transient fuel pin temperature calculations using describing functions

    Creator:
    Guidotti, Timothy E.
    Abstract:
    An important element in rector safety and fuel performance assessments is the efficient calculation of the time dependent temperature profiles within reactor fuel pins. Because the fuel pins have temperature dependent thermal properties, the governing partial differential equations are nonlinear. Traditionally, finite difference or finite element methods have been used...

  • Parameters affecting mechanical collisions

    Creator:
    Aum, Ho Sung
    Abstract:
    Even though the elastic deformations that occur during the impact of colliding bodies may be small in comparison to their actual dimensions, they play an important role in mechanical collisions. During the time the bodies are in contact, elastic, friction, and inertia properties combine to produce a complex variation of...

  • Predicting rebound of planar elastic collisions

    Creator:
    Cruz-Conde Gret, Raphaël
    Abstract:
    Impact is a large and complex field. It embraces both structures as simple as a nail, and more complex systems, such as a car collision. A central feature of impact theory is finding the dependence between the velocities before and after impact. The transformation law of the velocities in an...
