Design parameters Mounting

This paper summarizes the design parameters, analytical methodology, fabrication process, and erection methodology for A-Frame structures, constructed of tapered steel box sections, in excess of 80 meters in height and used with ground mounted friction hoisting systems in Canada. The paper also evaluates alternative considerations for shop fabrication and erection of components weighing up to 200 tonnes, as well as the use of unique enclosed ropeway structures. 

In Appendix 11A we found that simple manometers, externally mounted level indicators, variable capacitance transducers, and pneumatic valves exhibit inherent second-order dynamic behavior. Design all the systems above so that they exhibit underdamped behavior with a decay ratio equal to. In other words, find the conditions that the values of the physical parameters of these systems should satisfy in order for the device to exhibit underdamped behavior with decay ratio... 

Disc chatter Any change in contact area between the conditioner and the pad affects conditioning. Disc chatter can create a highly variable contact area therefore, it should be minimized by careful attention to process parameters and design of the conditioner holder and mounting hardware. 

In the following examples—demonstrations of the sensitivity of PBAs to their methods of mounting—the same PBA is used for direct comparative purposes (see Fig. 15.4).The following are the design requirements and material parameters that were used for the calculations ...
