Bimetallic fluid displacement apparatus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
Stirring and heating stored gases and liquids is accomplished by using the deformation of a bimetallic structure which deforms significantly when heated.

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

The mechanisms of the SAMS experiment flown on Nimbus 7 with particular reference to the 2 axis scanning mirror [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
The stratospheric and mesospheric sounder (SAMS) experiment on Nimbus 7 includes a 2 axis scanning mirror and 7 pressure modulator cells. The SAMS experiment is a limb sounding instrument to measure the temperature profile and minor constituents of the ...

Resource reallocation across successive systemic innovations: How Rolls‐Royce shaped the evolution of the turbojet, turboprop, and turbofan

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Despite the importance of resource reallocation in shaping a variety of strategic outcomes, strategy scholars have paid only limited attention to the processes by which firms reallocate their resources across successive systemic innovations.

Measurement of Slipper Behavior in Swashplate-Type Axial Piston Pumps

open access: yesTribology Online
In swash plate type axial piston pumps, slipper/swash plate sliding surfaces is subject to high fluctuating load. Therefore, the slippers are required to provide stable operation and reduce losses due to sliding. The behavior of the slipper fluctuates in

Assessment and preliminary design of an energy buffer for regenerative braking in electric vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes
Energy buffer systems, capable of storing the vehicle energy during braking and reusing this stored energy during acceleration, were examined. Some of these buffer systems when incorporated in an electric vehicle would result in an improvement in the ...

Axial piston pumps, new trends and development

open access: yes, 2012
International audience ; Efficiency improvement is a key issue in any machine. The fluid power industry relies on volumetric pumps which need to pump high pressure fluid to a set of actuators located at different positions in a given device; the higher the pressure, the smaller the actuators need to be, therefore allowing to reduce the weight of the ...

Considerations for the Design of Sinusoidal Slug Testing Methods

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Periodic hydraulic tests estimate aquifer properties using controlled groundwater‐level oscillations. Evaluating two sinusoidal slug‐test designs shows large motion errors when transfer‐link and flywheel ratios are high or variable. Rotating‐drive mechanisms are therefore suboptimal; stepper‐motor winches generate more accurate sinusoidal motion ...

Numerical Simulation Study on the Volumetric Efficiency Loss of CO2 Swash Plate Axial Piston Pumps

open access: yesApplied Sciences
With the aim of addressing the low volumetric efficiency of CO2 swashplate axial piston pumps, the influence of four volumetric losses—loss of the CO2 compression retention volume, leakage volume loss of the port pair, leakage volume loss of the plunger ...
