A comparative study between optimal metal and composite rotors for flywheel energy storage systems
Download2018-11-01
Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...

In this paper, a piezoelectric energy harvester with a grounded and tunable multi-stable nonlinear energy sink (NES) has been developed to achieve vibration suppression (VS) and energy harvesting (EH) simultaneously. The NES consists of a cantilever beam whose free end is attached by a small...

Microstructures on insect wings can promote directional drop shedding, and the local orientation of these structures is expected to facilitate drop removal. However, microstructures may exhibit very different orientations at different locations on the wing. Using the march fly Penthetria...

Abstract—Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE) is a non-traditional micro-machining technology, with one of its unique characteristics being the physical distance relationship between the tool and workpiece during machining. Previous papers have illustrated that maintaining space between the...

Parameters of the honeycomb core, such as cell size and foil thickness, as well a s the material of the core, influence the ballistic performance of honeycomb-core sandwich panels (HCSP) in the case of hypervelocity impact (HVI) by orbital debris. A dedicated ballistic limit equation (BLE) that...

A new ductility exhaustion model for high temperature low cycle fatigue life prediction of turbine disk alloys
Download2011
Zhu, Shun-Peng, Sun, Rui, Zuo, Ming J., Li, Haiqing, Huang, Hong-Zhong
Based on ductility exhaustion theory and the generalized energy-based damage parameter, a new viscosity-based life prediction model is introduced to account for the mean strain/stress effects in the low cycle fatigue regime. The loading waveform parameters and cyclic hardening effects are also...
