  • The present study aims to investigate the shimmy stability behavior of a single wheeled nose landing gear system. The system is supposed to be equipped with an electromechanical actuator capable to control the shimmy vibrations. A Proportional-Integrative-Derivative (PID) controller, tuned by using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) procedure, is here proposed to actively damp the shimmy vibration. Time-history results for some test cases are reported and commented. Stochastic analysis is last presented to assess the robustness of the control system.

  • The intermittent spray characteristics of a multi-hole and a single-hole diesel nozzle were experimentally investigated. The hole number of the multi-hole nozzle was 5, and the hole diameter of the 5-hole and the single-hole nozzle was the same as d$\_$n/=0.32 ㎜ with the constant hole length to diameter ratio(l$\_$n//d$\_$n/=2.81). The droplet diameters of the spray, including the time-resolved droplet diameter, SMD (Sauter mean diameter) and AMD (arithmetic mean diameter) , injected intermittently from the two nozzles into the still ambient were measured by using a 2-D PDPA (phase Doppler particle analyzer). Through the time-resolved evolutions of the droplet diameter, it was found that the structure of the multi-hole and the single-hole nozzle spray consisted of the three main parts : (a) the leading edge affected by surrounding air. and composed of small droplets; (b) the central part surrounded by the leading edge and mixing flow region and scarcely affected by the resistance of air, (c) the trailing edge formed by the passage of the central part. The SMD decreases gradually with the increase in the radial distance, and the constant value is obtained at the outer region of the radial distance (normalized by hole diameter) of 7-8 and 6 for the 5-hole and single-hole nozzle, respectively. The SMD along the centerline of the spray decrease shapely with the increase in the axial distance after showing the maximum value near the nozzle tip. The SMD remains the constant value near the axial distance(normalized by hole diameter) of 150 and 180 for the 5-hole and the single-hole nozzle, respectively.

  • Acoustic tweezers represent an exceptionally versatile and adaptable collection of instruments that harness the intrinsic power of sound waves to manipulate a wide spectrum of bioparticles, ranging from minuscule extracellular vesicles at the nanoscale to more substantial multicellular organisms measuring in millimeters. This field of research has witnessed remarkable progress over the course of the past few decades, primarily in the domain of Single Beam Acoustic Tweezers (SBAT) which utilizes a single element transducer for its operation. Initially conceived as a method for particle trapping, SBAT has since evolved into an advanced platform capable of achieving precise translation of cells and organisms. Recent groundbreaking advancements have significantly enhanced the capabilities of SBAT, unlocking new functionalities such as particle/cell separation and controlled deformation of single cells. These advancements have propelled SBAT to the forefront of bioparticle/cell manipulation, gathering attention within the scientific community. This review explores the core principles of SBAT and how sound waves affect bioparticles/cells. We aim to build a strong conceptual foundation for understanding advancements in this field by detailing its principles and methodologies.

  • In order to facilitate the electricity market operation and trade in the restructured environment, ample transmission capability should be provided to satisfy the demand of increasing power transactions. The conflict of this requirement and the restrictions on the transmission expansion in the restructured electricity market has motivated the development of methodologies to enhance the available transfer capability (ATC) of existing transmission grids. The insertion of flexible AC transmission System (FACTS) devices in electrical systems seems to be a promising strategy to enhance single area ATC and multi-area ATC. In this paper, the viability and technical merits of boosting single area ATC and multi-area ATC using Thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), static VAR compensator (SVC) and unified power flow controller (UPFC) in single device and multi-type three similar and different device combinations are analyzed. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to obtain the optimal settings of FACTS devices. The installation cost is also calculated. The study has been carried out on IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 118 bus systems for the selected bilateral, multilateral and area wise transactions.

  • Acicular $\alpha-FeOOH\; and\; Ba(OH)_2\cdot8H_2O$ are starting materials in this study. This paper presents the characteristics of the contents of citric acid and heating condition for preparing acicular barium ferrite powder. They control particle shape, crystalline phase, magnetic properties of acicular barium ferrite powder So the effects of the contents of citric acid and heating condition are studied. The experimental condition for starting materials were 800~1000$\circ C$ in firing and 0~40 wt% citric acid, respectively, Ba-ferrite particles fired at the range of 800 $\circ C$to 900 $\circ C$ were maintained as acicular particle shape, but there were mixed particles of acicular and round shape after fired at 950 $\circ C$. Ba-ferrite powder of the single phase was obtained in firing at 900~1000$\circ C$ and with 20 wt.% citric acid. There were unreacted phase of $\alpha-Fe_2O_3 \;and \; BaFe_2O_4$ phases as a second phase in case of sintering at below 850 $\circ C$. Acicular barium ferrite powder of single phase was also produced in firing at 900 $\circ C$ with 20 wt.% citric acid. The saturation magnetization of single phase of acicular $BaFe_12O_19$powder was about 51 emu/g and coercivity was about 4200 Oe.
