HELICAL SPRING WITH VARIABLE WIRE DIAMETER
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2017, Vol 62, Issue 3
Abstract
The geometrical and functional particularities of helical springs with variable wire diameter are studied in this paper. The spring’s characteristic is determined by two factors. On one hand, by the minimum distance between two adjacent coils, for the unloaded spring, distance which decreases with increasing wire diameter. On the other hand, by the coils’ deflection, which decreases with increasing wire diameter. Consequently, the actual distance between the adjacent coils represents the difference between the two sizes. As a result, the adjacent coils will successively touch each other, depending on the actual distance between them, and the spring stiffness shall be increasing.

EVOLUTION AS PHYSICS
Thermodynamics today is the physics domain in which three previously selfstanding lines of thinking merged to cover the broadest range of natural phenomena to date. The three lines were work-heat-design, or mechanics-cal...
INCREMENTAL NUMERICAL METHOD USED FOR THE KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE FOUR-BAR LINKAGE MECHANISM
Kinematics deals with the study of geometrics aspects of the movement without taking into consideration the mass of the rigid solids (their inertia) and neither the causes that provoked the movement namely the forces. Th...
GIANT RESPONSE OF MICROBUBBLE CONTRAST AGENTS OSCILLATION IN A HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND FIELD
The interaction of microbubble contrast agents (BR14) with high-intensity focused ultrasound is investigated by high-speed photography. The experiments were conducted at an ultrasound frequency of 1.08 MHz with a peak ne...
SCENARIOS FOR CHECKING THE PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE DUAL SYSTEM FOR BUILDINGS
The objective of the study is a building structure, made of reinforced concrete in a dual system. The structure is a theoretical one but the dimensioning and the considered loads complies the technical regulations in for...
HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION AND TRACKING USING LOW COST 3D VISION SYSTEMS
This paper describes a platform which allows humans to interact with robotic arms using augmented reality. Low cost “kinect” cameras (Xbox 360) are used for tracking human skeletons and locations of robot’s end effectors...
