Static aerobic composting of municipal sewage sludge with forced ventilation:Using matured compost as bulking conditioner

Static aerobic composting of municipal sewage sludge with forced ventilation or air ventilation using matured compost as bulking conditioner was investigated. Physical and chemical parame ,eters, e.g., temperature, moisture content, VSS, CODcr, pH, and germination index （GI）, were analyzed to characterize the composting process. Fermentation starts quickly in both forced and air ventilation compost heaps and reaches high-temperature stage after 2 d, owing to the bulking function of matured compost. Compared to air ventilation, however, forced ventilation enables the high-temperature stage to last longer for approximately 7 d. The moisture content of both compost bodies decreases from 62% to about 50% as a result of evaporation, and it decreases slightly faster in forced ventilation compost heap after 13 d due to the higher temperature and better ventilation condition. Although no obvious differences of VSS and pH are observed between both compost heaps, the soluble CODcr and GI show differences during the second half period of fermentation. In forced ventilation compost, the soluble CODcr has a small rebound after 13 d, and GI decreases from 46% to 35% but then increases. These results show that in general, the matured compost is a good conditioner and force ventilation with a proper air supply strategy can be more efficient than air ventilation.

Reaction Forces on a Fixed Ladder in Static Equilibrium: Analysis and Definitive Experimental Test of the Ladder Problem

The development of a theoretical model to predict the four equilibrium forces of reaction on a simple ladder of non-adjustable length leaning against a wall has long remained an unresolved matter. The difficulty is that the problem is statically indeterminate and therefore requires complementary information to obtain a unique solution. This paper reports 1) a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the three fundamental models based on treating the ladder as a single Euler-Bernoulli beam, and 2) a detailed experimental investigation of the forces of reaction as a function of applied load and location of load. In contrast to previous untested proposals that the solution to the ladder problem lay in the axial constraint on compression or the transverse constraint on flexure, the experimental outcome of the present work showed unambiguously that 1) the ladder could be modeled the best by a pinned support at the base (on the ground) and a roller support at the top (at the wall), and 2) the only complementary relation needed to resolve the static indeterminacy is the force of friction at the wall. Measurements were also made on the impact loading of a ladder by rapid ascent and descent of a climber. The results obtained were consistent with a simple dynamical model of the ladder as a linear elastic medium subject to a pulse perturbation. The solution to the ladder problem herein presented provides a basis for theoretical extension to other types of ladders. Of particular importance, given that accidents involving ladders in the workplace comprise a significant fraction of all industrial accidents, the theoretical relations reported here can help determine whether a collapsed structure, against which a ladder was applied, met regulatory safety limits or not.

Internal Force Analysis Due to the Supporting Translation in Statically (Indeterminate) Structures for Different Elastic Modulus

For statically indeterminate structure, the internal force will be changed with the translation of the supports, because the internal force is related to the absolute value of the stiffness EI. When the tension is different with the compression modulus, EI is the function of internal force and is not constant any more that is different from classic mechanics. In the other words, it is a nonlinear problem to calculate the internal force. The expression for neutral axis of the statically indeterminate structure was derived in the paper. The iterative program for nonlinear internal force was compiled. One case study was presented to illustrate the difference between the results using the different modulus theory and the single modulus theory as in classical mechanics. Finally, some reasonable suggestions were made for the different modulus structures.

Multi-Channel Force Control System for Static Loading

An eight-channel force loading system is presented, which adopts position control system and force control system switching model, small flow servo valve controlled capacious cylinder system scheme, intelligent PID algorithm and distributed load approach. Through the analyses of the equivalent model of valve controlled cylinder force subsystem, a controller based on intelligent PID algorithm is designed, which is not sensitive to the variation of parameters such as environmental stiffness. According to the coupling of multiple load channels, a distributed load approach is employed in the superior monitor computer. Experimental results show that the system designed has high precision and robustness.

Static Force-Based Modeling and Parameter Estimation for a Deformable Link Composed of Passive Spherical Joints With Preload Forces

To balance the contradiction between higher flexibility and heavier load bearing capacity,we present a novel deformable manipulator which is composed of active rigid joints and deformable links.The deformable link is composed of passive spherical joints with preload forces between socket-ball surfaces.To estimate the load bearing capacity of a deformable link,we present a static force-based model of spherical joint with preload force and analyze the static force propagation in the deformable link.This yields an important result that the load bearing capacity of a spherical joint only depends on its radius,preload force,and static friction coefficient.We further develop a parameter estimation method to estimate the product of preload force and static friction coefficient.The experimental results validate our model.80.4%of percentage errors on the maximum payload mass prediction are below 15%.

A Geometrical Theorem about the Static Equilibrium of a Common-point-force System and its Application

A geometrical theorem for the static equilibrium of a common-point-force system has been proven by means of virtual-work principle: The equilibrium point of a common-point force system has a minimal weighted distance summation to every fixed point arbitrarily given on each force line with a weighing factor proportional to corresponding force value. Especially the mechanical simulating technique for its inverse problem has been realized by means of pulley block. The conclusions for the inverse problem derived from mechanic method are in accordance with that given by the pure mathematical method, and the self-consistence of the theorem and its inverse problem has been demonstrated. Some application examples in engineering, economy and mathematics have been discussed, especially the possible application in the research of molecular structure, has also been predicted.

A study of jacking force for a curved pipejacking

For a pipejacking, the jacking force is critical to balance the resistance force and to move the pipe string forwards. The driving mechanism of a curved pipejacking is more complicated than a straight-line pipejacking, and its jacking force is also more difficult to be determined. The paper theoretically studies the jacking force of a curved pipejacking by considering the static equilibrium of earth pressure, resistance at cutting face, friction at pipe surface, and the driving force behind the pipe string. The derived theoretical formula can be used to estimate the driving forces of a straight-line or a curved pipejacking. Case study was performed by applying the theoretical and empirical formulae. After calibration, the corrected formula is more accurate and more applicable.

论约束重构在虚位移原理求解系统内力中的应用

系统内力即作用力与反作用力是成对出现的,涉及两个物体.用虚位移原理求解静力学系统内力时作用力与反作用力一般都有虚功,要分别确定虚位移,分别计算虚功,过程比较复杂.本文提出重新构建系统外部约束,把系统内力涉及的两个物体中的一个固定下来,于是作用力与反作用力中的一个力虚位移为零、虚功为零,从而简化内力虚功计算过程.拆除系统原有约束时要保留相应约束力,重新构建约束时不能使系统成为超静定问题.

基坑工程作为项目建设的重要环节,其稳定性关系城市安全。随着地下枢纽、立体交通等理念的提出,部分基坑呈现规模大、周期长、周边环境复杂等特点。此时,不能简单将其视为一种临时结构,需要考虑地震等偶发灾害的影响。为了计算地震工况下的安全性,将拟静力法引入到基坑的稳定性分析中。汇总归纳了现有规范中的拟静力法,基于各规范的特点讨论了折减系数和放大系数取值原则。通过时程分析法,从剪力、弯矩和位移等方面进行验证。结果表明:在应用拟静力法时,应该考虑基坑工程的特点。区别于边坡工程,基坑工程加速度小于或接近地表设计地震。因此,加速度放大系数可取为1。折减系数取0.25时,拟静力法计算结果略大于时程分析法,可以达到包络设计的目的。

径向可倾瓦轴承静态特性分析

径向可倾瓦轴承具有承载范围大、耐冲击、稳定性好等优点,广泛应用于大型高速旋转机械。为了选用合适参数的轴承,需要对比分析不同参数轴承的静态特性。本文通过有限差分法求解二维Reynolds方程,建立了详细的径向可倾瓦轴承油膜力求解流程,在此基础上获得了轴承的流量、功率损耗、温升等静态特性,进而研究轴承关键参数对静态特性的影响规律。结果表明:可倾瓦轴承的承载力随着偏心率增大非线性增大,主要承载瓦的流量减小,功率损耗和油膜温升增大。宽径比和预负荷系数的增大可以提高轴承的承载力,但功率损耗以及油膜温升也增大;瓦块的支点最好置于瓦块中心位置,以提高承载力;瓦块数量增多可使油膜温升降低,但会降低承载能力。提出了非对称可倾瓦轴承,与对称瓦轴承相比,下瓦包角增大20%的非对称轴承,可使承载力提升31%,油膜温升降低16%。
