The $I_c$ degradation behavior of YBCO CC tapes due to torsional deformation has been investigated. Particularly, the influence of torsion angle on the $I_c$ in HTS tapes was examined at 77K (self-field). At low torsional angles or shear strains, the $I_c$ degradation was small and gradual. Also, a good consistency of the $I_c$ degradation behaviors was found along the longitudinal direction under torsion when multiple voltage terminals were adopted for investigating the homogeneity of the $I_c$ degradation.

In this study, the seismic response is investigated by using a relatively low-rise building under torsion-prone conditions and three seismic loads with change of the location of the seismic isolation system. LRB (Lead Rubber Bearing) was used for the seismic isolator applied to the analytical model. Fixed model without seismic isolation system was set as a basic model and LB models using seismic isolation system were compared. The maximum story drift ratio and the maximum torsional angle were evaluated by using the position of the seismic layer as a variable. It was confirmed that the isolation device is effective for torsional control of planar irregular structures. Also, it was shown that the applicability of the mid-story seismic isolation system. Numerical analyses results presented that an isolator installed in the lower layer provided good control performance for the maximum story drift ratio and the maximum torsional angle simultaneously.

The purpose of this study was to report the reliability and validity of oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy (OSCRO) in 3D-reconstructed canine bone models with femoral varus and torsional deformities. A healthy adult male beagle was recruited to create a 3D bone model, and this bone model was modified by using a 3D program. Fifteen bone models were constructed for this study. OSCRO simulation was performed in accordance with the plan after printing using a 3D printing machine. The anatomical lateral distal femoral angle (aLDFA), anteversion angle (AA), anatomical caudo-distal femoral angle (aCdDFA), mechanical caudo-distal femoral angle (mCdDFA) and pre- and postoperative bone length were calculated. There were no significant differences between the target values and postoperative values. In addition, the difference between pre- and postoperative bone length was small (p = 0.001). Our findings suggest that OSCRO could be an effective surgical option for MPL with bone deformities in small-breed dogs that often undergo conventional distal femoral osteotomy.

In this study, a torsional test for U-type steel box girders was performed to observe the effects of the kind of panel for top lateral walateral bracings on the torsional behavior of the U-type steel girder system. For the structural tests, the test specimen with a two-thirds scale of the system actually constructed in the field was used. In the torsional test to observe the efects of top lateral bracings, the most economical arrangement of the top lateral bracing was found to be the panel width to length ratio of 1:1.5 with the inclined angle of $40^{\circ}$.

In this paper, a development of shaft power measuring system for a rotating machinery is discussed. It is important that the exact power measurement of marine engine since the engine power is related to ship's usage and its shaft design. The engine equipped on the ship is assumed to rotating machine which can generate mechanical power by electrical energy. Two gearwheel and magnetic sensors are applied to measure torsional angle on the shaft. High resolution encoder is also applied to compensate the output signal from gearwheel. The calculation of shaft power is executed using measured signal and angular velocity of rotating machine.

This paper presents a torsional micromirror detached from PZT actuators (TMD), whose rotational motion is achieved by push bars in the PZT actuators detached from the micromirror. The push bar mechanism is intended to reduce the bending, tensile and torsional constraints generated by the conventional bending bar mechanism, where the torsional micromirror is attached to the PZT actuators (TMA). We have designed, fabricated and tested prototypes of TMDs for single-axis and dual-axis rotation, respectively. The single-axis TMD generates the static rotational angle of $6.1^{\circ}$ at 16 VDC, which is 6 times larger than that of single-axis TMA, $0.9^{\circ}$. However, the rotational response curve of TMD shows hysteresis due to the static friction between the cover and the push bar in the PZT actuator. We have shown that 63.2% of the hysteresis is due to the static friction caused by the initial contact force of the PZT actuaor. Without the initial contact force, the rotational response curve of TMD shows linear voltage-angle characteristics. The dual-axis TMD generates the static rotational angles of $5.5^{\circ}$ and $4.7^{\circ}$ in x-axis and y-axis, respectively at 16 VDC. The measured resonant frequencies of dual-axis TMD are $2.1\pm0.1$ kHz in x-axis and $1.7\pm0.1$ kHz in y-axis. The dual-axis TMD shows stable operation without severe wear for 21.6 million cycles driven by 16 Vp-p sinusoidal wave signal at room temperature.

This article presents a computing procedure developed to predict the torsional strength of axially restrained reinforced concrete beams. This computing procedure is based on a modification of the Variable Angle Truss Model to account for the influence of the longitudinal compressive stress state due to the axial restraint conditions provided by the connections of the beams to other structural elements. Theoretical predictions from the proposed model are compared with some experimental results available in the literature and also with some numerical results from a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis. It is shown that the proposed computing procedure gives reliable predictions for the ultimate behaviour, namely the torsional strength, of axially restrained reinforced concrete beams under torsion.

On wide variety of fields, studies on active twist control are becoming more active. For effective twist control, blades have to have low torsional stresses with high torsional deformations to the same magnitude of torque acting on its cross-section. In this study, 2D sectional analysis and 3D finite element analysis were made for 5 different blades with each having different cross - sections which have different spars. The results from 2D sectional analysis, were then put into 3D blade deformation and stress calculations which lead to analysis. Outcomes from 2D and 3D analysis, showed that on the same torque and concentrated load conditions, the blade with 'C' shaped spar was the best of all the blades which were used in this study.

This article presents a theoretical parametric analysis on the ultimate torsional behaviour of axially restrained reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This analysis is performed by using a computing procedure based on a modification of the Variable Angle Truss Model. This computing procedure was previously developed to account for the influence of the longitudinal compressive stress state due to the axial restraint conditions provided by the connections of the beams to other structural members. The presented parametric study aims to check the influence of some important variable studies, namely: torsional reinforcement ratio, compressive concrete strength and axial restraint level. From the results of this parametric study, nonlinear regression analyses are performed and some design charts are proposed. Such charts allow to correct the resistance torque of RC beams (rectangular sections with small height to width ratios) to account for the favorable influence of the axial restraint.

This paper describes the identification of torsional modes and power oscillation modes including the inter-area modes and local modes of KEPCO using the proposed DFT analysis algorithm which is applied to the digitally recorded RMS values of power system variables such as steady-state measured active power, load angle and so on. As a result, the inter-area mode of 0.65Hz and the local modes of the three different generators were identified. In addition the torsional modes of two steam-turbo generators were analyzed by applying the DFT algorithm. Thus, this paper clearly shows the availability of the proposed DFT algorithm that can analyze the digitally recorded effective values measured from the equipment such as PMU of DSM.
