Force-acceleration

The centrifugal acceleration force, commonly known as g-force, Is the basic motive force for separating the solids from the liquid in any sedimenting centrifuge. Thus, in a handbook about the decanter no apologies arc needed when covering g-force as the first basic concept. 

At time t, the horizontal distance of (he particle from the centre of the circle is s. and at time f=() it was r  

The horizontal acceleration of the particle towards the centre is the second differential of s  

anything moving in a circle of radius r, at an angular velocity w, will experience an acceleration towards the centre of the circle of uj r. 

In the centrifuge, it is the liquid that moves round in a circle, and the particles in suspension are free to move relative to the liquid. Thus, relative to the liquid, the suspended particles experience an acceleration, radially outwards.

A fragility curve for a component is calculated by knowing the conditions that will fail it. These conditions are calculated, deterministically by a structure analyst. The PSA specialist determines the variability of the conditions which together gives the probability of failure vs acceleration forces for given operating conditions, A separate fragility curve is needed for each mode that must to be considered. 

Inertial effects The force due to inertia equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the accelerating force. 

These observations were the basis for the proposal that polymers, like ionic crystals, exhibit shock-induced polarization due to mechanically induced defects which are forced into polar configurations with the large acceleration forces within the loading portion of the shock pulse. Such a process was termed a mechanically induced, bond-scission model [79G01] and is somewhat supported by independent observations of the propensity of polymers to be damaged by more conventional mechanical deformation processes. As in the ionic crystals, the mechanically induced, bond-scission model is an example of a catastrophic shock compression model. 

One application is the accelerometer, in which the acceleration force of a mass is made to increase (or decrease) the pressure produced on the crystal by a spring. This, in turn, produces the required electrical change, the effect of which is amplified. It is important to select units appropriate for the expected changes, which should be within the frequency range from almost zero to the natural frequency of the crystal. 

Particle density p., is important because it determines the gravitational (accelerating) force on the particle. However when immersed in a liquid the particle receives an upthrust which is proportional to the liquid density (>. The effective density of the particles (p, - p) is therefore used in this analysis. Then ... 

The accelerating force exerted by the fluid on the particle will be a function of the properties of the gas, the shape and size of the particle, and the relative velocity. It will also depend on the dispersion of the particles over the cross-section and the shielding of individual particles. The process is complex and therefore it is not possible to develop a precise analytical treatment, but it is obviously important to know the velocity of the particles... 

It is assumed here that the fluid in contact with the surface is at rest and therefore h(j must be zero. Furthermore, all the fluid close to the surface is moving at very low velocity and therefore any changes in its momentum as it flows parallel to the surface must be extremely small. Consequently, the net shear force acting on any element of fluid near the surface is negligible, the retarding force at its lower boundary being balanced by the accelerating force at its upper boundary. Thus the shear stress Ro in the fluid near the surface must approach a constant value.

The instrument MIMOS 11 is extremely miniaturized compared to standard laboratory Mossbauer spectrometers and is optimized for low power consumption and high detection efficiency (see Sect. 3.3) and [326, 327, 336-339]. All components were selected to withstand high acceleration forces and shocks, temperature variations over the Martian diurnal cycle, and cosmic ray irradiation. Mossbauer measurements can be done during day and night covering the whole diurnal temperature... 

As the particle moves outwards, the accelerating force increases and therefore it never acquires an equilibrium velocity in the fluid. 

It is seen in Chapter 3 that, as a particle moves outwards towards the walls of the bowl of a centrifuge, the accelerating force progressively increases and therefore the particle never reaches an equilibrium velocity as is the case in the gravitational field. Neglecting the inertia of the particle, then ...
