Understanding what’s happening inside liquid droplets
For most people, the drip, drip, drip of a leaking faucet would be an annoyance. But for Georgia Institute of Technology Ph.D. candidate Alexandros Fragkopoulos, what happens inside droplets is the stuff of serious science.In the laboratory of Alberto Fernandez-Nieves in Georgia Tech’s School of Physics, Fragkopoulos is studying how toroidal droplets – which initially take the shape of a donut – evolve into spherical droplets by...
Complete tool pre-setting solutions provided in new range
YMT Technologies has announced the launch of the full range of Alfa-Sys products that are designed and fully developed to aid machine shops accurately and efficiently achieve the build-up and pre-setting of cutting tools.The Yeovil-based company is the exclusive UK and Eire agent for the complete Alfa-Sys range that is produced at the company’s impressive facility in Liechtenstein.
Plastic bearings are essential for experimental race motorcycle
The world’s first 600cc production four-stroke motorcycle was introduced back in 1999, the Yamaha YZF-R6 which produced over 100 horsepower in stock form.Since then, Yamaha has incorporated a number of upgrades to improve speed and engine performance. The R6 engine has also been used in the nationwide Formula Student race series, where university students design and build single seat racing cars that are then raced at the iconic Silverstone...
Milling cutter for the highly efficient universal machining of steel
Time-consuming ramping processes or pilot bores are frequently the order of the day when milling pockets. In order to save these machining steps, MAPAL has developed the solid carbide OptiMill-Uni-HPC-Pocket milling cutter for the highly efficient universal machining of steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
Steckel mill stand provides 1.3 million tonnes a year
An order has been placed with SMS group by Shandong Iron & Steel Group Rizhao (Shandong Rizhao), for the suppky of a Steckel/plate mill.The new plant, to be built in Rizhao in the Chinese province of Shandong, is scheduled to go on stream in 2019. The order comprises the complete engineering package, mechanical key equipment, all electrical and automation systems as well as process know-how.
Metamaterial achieves performance predicted by theoretical bounds
In 2015 UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer and materials scientist Jonathan Berger developed an idea that could change the way people think about high-performance structural materials. Two years later, his concept is paying research dividends.
Liquid cooling halves component space
Many renewable and marine resistor applications are moving towards liquid cooling, because it offers superior environmental protection for drive systems, as well as improved reliability and smaller component sizes. Author:Steve Hughes, REO UK
Unidirectional ESD protection comes in a 01005 flip chip package
Littelfuse introduced an industry first: a new series of three unidirectional TVS diode arrays in space-saving 01005 flip chip packages (0.230mm x 0.430mm). Unidirectional protection is typically preferable to bidirectional protection, particularly on logic and data lines, which typically do not transit zero volts during standard operation.
CMOS RADAR technology platform aids autonomous driving
Analog Devices announced the Drive360TM 28nm CMOS RADAR technology platform that builds on its established ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), MEMS, and RADAR technology portfolio used throughout the automotive industry. Analog Devices is the first to offer automotive RADAR technology based on a 28nm CMOS process and the new Drive360 RADAR platform brings RF performance to advanced safety and autonomous driving applications.
