Performance of an optimized rotor blade at off-design flight conditions [PDF]

open access: yes
An investigation is made of the dynamic and aerodynamic performance of a helicopter rotor previously optimized for minimum 4/rev vertical shear and blade weight subject to certain dynamic and structural constraints.

Aeroacoustics of a coaxial rotor in level flight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The aeroacoustic characteristics of a coaxial system with teetering rotors in level forward °ight are com- pared to those of an equivalent articulated single rotor with the same solidity.

Laser Absorption Shock Tube Study of C1 to C4 n‐Alkyl Formate Pyrolysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT n$n$‐Alkyl formates are considered as potential alternative fuels or fuel additives. While their oxidation chemistry has been investigated intensely, their pyrolysis chemistry requires more experimental insights. The present work utilizes shock tube experiments in combination with infrared laser absorption measurements to obtain information ...

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Combining Unsteady Blade Pressure Measurements and a Free-Wake Vortex Model to Investigate the Cycle-to-Cycle Variations in Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Blade Loads in Yaw

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
Prediction of the unsteady aerodynamic flow phenomenon on wind turbines is challenging and still subject to considerable uncertainty. Under yawed rotor conditions, the wind turbine blades are subjected to unsteady flow conditions as a result of the blade

Ionogel Actuators: A Review

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Ionogels dynamically and functionally couple ionic liquids with polymer networks, enabling multiscale programmable deformation and motion under electrical, magnetic, optical, thermal, humidity, and chemical stimuli. This article systematically elucidates the constituent components, structural design, and multiscale actuation mechanisms of ionogel ...

Unsteady blade pressure measurements on a model counterrotation propeller [PDF]

open access: yes
In an exploratory effort an advanced counterrotation propeller instrumented with blade-mounted pressure transducers was tested in the NASA Lewis 9- by 15-Foot Anechoic Wind Tunnel at a simulated takeoff and landing speed of Mach 0.20. The propeller's aft

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.

The performance of rotary power tiller using prototype rotary blades in dry-land field [PDF]

open access: yesMaejo International Journal of Science and Technology, 2008
The effect of shape of prototype rotary blades on the performance of rotary power tiller was investigated in this study. Three sets of rotors, i.e. 14-blade rotor of the Japanese C-shape blade (4.5 cm tilling width of one blade; T1), 14-blade rotor of ...
