  • Method to Increase the Accuracy of Large Crankshaft Geometry Measurements Using Counterweights to Minimize Elastic Deformations
    applied sciences Article Method to Increase the Accuracy of Large Crankshaft Geometry Measurements Using Counterweights to Minimize Elastic Deformations Leszek Chybowski * , Krzysztof Nozdrzykowski, Zenon Grz ˛adziel , Andrzej Jakubowski and Wojciech Przetakiewicz Faculty of Marine Engineering, Maritime University of Szczecin, ul. Willowa 2-4, 71-650 Szczecin, Poland; [email protected] (K.N.); [email protected] (Z.G.); [email protected] (A.J.); [email protected] (W.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-914-809-412 Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 7 July 2020; Published: 9 July 2020 Abstract: Large crankshafts are highly susceptible to flexural deformation that causes them to undergo elastic deformation as they revolve, resulting in incorrect geometric measurements. Additional structural elements (counterweights) are used to stabilize the forces at the supports that fix the shaft during measurements. This article describes the use of temporary counterweights during measurements and presents the specifications of the measurement system and method. The effect of the proposed solution on the elastic deflection of a shaft was simulated with FEA, which showed that the solution provides constant reaction forces and ensures nearly zero deflection at the supported main journals of a shaft during its rotation (during its geometry measurement). The article also presents an example of a design solution for a single counterweight. Keywords: large crankshafts; minimization of elastic deformation; increasing measurement precision; device stabilizing reaction forces; measurement procedures 1. Introduction The geometries of small machine components are easily measured because they are very common in mechanical engineering, and the relevant measurement instruments are available [1,2].

Iztok Prezelj Somentor: asist. mag. Erik Kopač INTEGRACIJA EVROPSKE OBRAMBNE INDUSTRIJE Diplomsko delo Ljubljana 2007 INTEGRACIJA EVROPSKE OBRAMBNE INDUSTRIJE Diplomsko delo obravnava spremembe v evropski obrambni industriji vse od konca 2. svetovne vojne. Na začetku predstavi proces povezovanja obrambne industrije v času hladne vojne v treh časovnih obdobjih. Sledi predstavitev trendov povezovanja obrambne industrije po koncu hladne vojne, podkrepljenih z vzroki, ki spodbujajo in zavirajo proces povezovanja obrambne industrije v Evropi. Omenjeni proces, voden s strani obrambnih podjetij, je prikazan s pomočjo koncentracije, privatizacije in internacionalizacije obrambne industrije. Obravnava tudi liberalističen in merkantilističen pristop k integraciji obrambne industrije na primeru Velike Britanije in Francije. Proces institucionalne integracije obrambne industrije, ki predstavlja poskus meddržavnega povezovanja obrambne industrije, prikaže v študiji primerov najpomembnejših institucij na tem področju. V zadnjem poglavju s predstavitvijo slovenske obrambne industrije v obdobju po osamosvojitvi leta 1991 umesti obrambno industrijo v Sloveniji v evropsko dogajanje na tem področju ter nakaže možnosti za njen nadaljnji razvoj. Ključne besede: obrambna industrija, ekonomska integracija, Evropa, Slovenija. INTEGRATION OF EUROPEAN DEFENCE INDUSTRY This diploma work deals with changes in defence industry in Europe since the end of Second World War. At the begininng it divides the process of binding up the European defence industry in Cold War on three periods. It continues with the introduction of modern trends in binding up the defence industry after the end of Cold War with help by causes that stimulate and interfere the process of European defence integration.

Due to the power plant change there were modifications made to the structure to prevent mid flight disassembly. The fuse is fibreglass painted in 2 pack paint and the 2 metre wings and stabs covered with Oracova. The colour scheme is nothing like it was when it was lifted out of the box. Over the last 8 years the plane has done a lot of fly- ing, the data does it has 25 hours on the clock which works out to be around 185 flights. The model holds 2 litres of A1 jet which allows enough for an 8 minute flight. Max RPM is 153000RPM and Idle is 53000RPM. The model has ProLink retracts and trailing link legs, BVM wheels and brakes. Two 2100mah Lipo rx batteries and one 4000mah battery for the onboard computer and starter motor.

Chodas Submitted to the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics on May 23, 2019, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract When developing a space system, many properties of the design space are initially unknown and are discovered during the development process. Therefore, the problem exhibits deep uncertainty. Deep uncertainty refers to the condition where the full range of outcomes of a decision is not knowable. A key strategy to mitigate deep uncertainty is to update decisions when new information is learned. NASA’s current uncertainty management processes do not emphasize revisiting decisions and therefore are vulnerable to deep uncertainty. Examples from the development of the James Webb Space Telescope are provided to illustrate these vulnerabilities.

  • Trends in Space Commerce
    Foreword from the Secretary of Commerce As the United States seeks opportunities to expand our economy, commercial use of space resources continues to increase in importance. The use of space as a platform for increasing the benefits of our technological evolution continues to increase in a way that profoundly affects us all. Whether we use these resources to synchronize communications networks, to improve agriculture through precision farming assisted by imagery and positioning data from satellites, or to receive entertainment from direct-to-home satellite transmissions, commercial space is an increasingly large and important part of our economy and our information infrastructure. Once dominated by government investment, commercial interests play an increasing role in the space industry. As the voice of industry within the U.S. Government, the Department of Commerce plays a critical role in commercial space. Through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Commerce licenses the operation of commercial remote sensing satellites. Through the International Trade Administration, the Department of Commerce seeks to improve U.S. industrial exports in the global space market. Through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Commerce assists in the coordination of the radio spectrum used by satellites. And, through the Technology Administration's Office of Space Commercialization, the Department of Commerce plays a central role in the management of the Global Positioning System and advocates the views of industry within U.S. Government policy making processes. I am pleased to commend for your review the Office of Space Commercialization's most recent publication, Trends in Space Commerce. The report presents a snapshot of U.S.
