Evaluation of Aerodynamic Drag and Torque for External Tanks in Low Earth Orbit

open access: yesJournal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2006
A numerical procedure is described in which the aerodynamic drag and torque in low Earth orbit are calculated for a prototype Space Shuttle external tank and its components, the “LO2” and “LH2” tanks, carrying liquid oxygen and hydrogen, respectively ...

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

In‐Wheel Piezoelectric DC Power Generator With Zero Resistive Torque

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this paper, we present a wheel‐shaped direct‐current piezoelectric generator (DC‐PG) that fundamentally overcomes these constraints by producing phase‐stable DC electricity directly from rolling motion. By embedding this system into suitcase wheels, we demonstrated a fully integrated real‐time location tracking system powered solely by mechanical ...

Optimization and Experimental Testing of the Drag Torque Model Based on the Cavitation Effect

open access: yesJixie chuandong
In the non-braking operation of the wet brake in a heavy vehicle's hybrid power transmission system, the friction pair produces a drag torque due to the power loss caused by the viscous action of the oil.

Modeling of the Dynamics of Conical Separate Plates in a Wet Multi-Disc Clutch

open access: yesLubricants
Wet multi-disc clutches in transmission systems suffer from the incomplete separation of the friction components, which raises the drag torque and results in power loss and heightened fuel consumption.

Signal and power roll ring testing update [PDF]

open access: yes
The development of the roll ring as a long-life, low-torque alternative to the slip ring is discussed. A roll ring consists of one or more circular flexures captured by their own spring force in the annular space between two concentric conductors or ...

Experimental study of bubble-drag interaction in a Taylor-Couette flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study is an experimental investigation of the interactions between the bubbles, the coherent motion and the viscous drag in a Taylor Couette flow, for the outer cylinder at rest. The cylinder radius ratio is 0.9.

Nanozyme Microrobots: Programmable Spatiotemporal Catalysis for Targeted Therapy and Diagnostics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review presents nanozyme microrobots as emerging catalytic systems that integrate mobility, external actuation, and adaptive reactivity to achieve precise biochemical functions. By examining mobility‐regulated catalysis, spatial targeting, integrated designs, and translational demonstrations, the article highlights how nanozyme robotics enables ...

Drag Reduction Control for Torsion and Oscillation in Top Drive System Slide Drilling

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2018
The domestic technology of drag reduction control for torsion and oscillation in top drive system (TDS) slide drilling is not yet mature. The torque limit and torsion angle during drilling are still set by experience, which is inconsistent with the ...

Development of Thrust, Torque, and Power Estimation Model, and Prediction Performance of Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine in Mixed-Face Strata

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In this paper, a theoretical estimation model of TBM thrust, torque, and power in the rock–soil interface (RSI) of mixed ground is developed, including a new force model for the drag cutter that accounts for chamber pressure and soil friction.
