Dynamic response methods

The term dynamic response method refers to methods in which oxygen electrodes in the liquid respond rapidly to changes in the composition of the gas phase. They are mainly employed in fermentation technology. The problems which arise either depend upon the response behavior of the electrodes or upon assumptions made with regard to the mixing of the gas cushion and the liquid. Many publications refer to the special features of the measuring technique [71, 97], the sources of error [265] and modeling [106, 372].

Design method Dynamic response method Uses dynamic response spectrum method, taking into account multiple modes of oscillation, which has higher quality until the sum of effective modal masses reaches a certain percentage of the oscillating mass of the system 5... 

Numerical simulations are designed to solve, for the material body in question, the system of equations expressing the fundamental laws of physics to which the dynamic response of the body must conform. The detail provided by such first-principles solutions can often be used to develop simplified methods for predicting the outcome of physical processes. These simplified analytic techniques have the virtue of calculational efficiency and are, therefore, preferable to numerical simulations for parameter sensitivity studies. Typically, rather restrictive assumptions are made on the bounds of material response in order to simplify the problem and make it tractable to analytic methods of solution. Thus, analytic methods lack the generality of numerical simulations and care must be taken to apply them only to problems where the assumptions on which they are based will be valid. 

Static and dynamic property The uses of these foams or porous solids are used in a variety of applications such as energy absorbers in addition to buoyant products. Properties of these materials such as a compressive constitutive law or equation of state is needed in the calculation of the dynamic response of the material to suddenly applied loads. Static testing to provide such data is appealing because of its simplicity, however, the importance of rate effects cannot be determined by this one method alone. Therefore, additional but numerically limited elevated strain-rate tests must be run for this purpose. 

The time that a molecule spends in a reactive system will affect its probability of reacting and the measurement, interpretation, and modeling of residence time distributions are important aspects of chemical reaction engineering. Part of the inspiration for residence time theory came from the black box analysis techniques used by electrical engineers to study circuits. These are stimulus-response or input-output methods where a system is disturbed and its response to the disturbance is measured. The measured response, when properly interpreted, is used to predict the response of the system to other inputs. For residence time measurements, an inert tracer is injected at the inlet to the reactor, and the tracer concentration is measured at the outlet. The injection is carried out in a standardized way to allow easy interpretation of the results, which can then be used to make predictions. Predictions include the dynamic response of the system to arbitrary tracer inputs. More important, however, are the predictions of the steady-state yield of reactions in continuous-flow systems. All this can be done without opening the black box. 

Calculate proportional gain needed to satisfy the gain or phase margin. These plots address the stability problem but need other methods to reveal the probable dynamic response. 

Finite element methods (FEM) are capable of incorporating complex variations in materia stresses in the time varying response. While these methods are widely available, they are quite complex and, in many cases, their use is not warranted due to uncertainties in blast load prediction. The dynamic material properties presented in this section can be used in FEM calculations however, the simplified response limits in the next section may not be suitable. Most FEM codes contain complex failure models which are better indicators of acceptable response. See Chapter 6, Dynamic Analysis Methods, for additional information. 

This chapter discusses various analysis methods for determining the dynamic response of structural members subjected to blast loading. In order to perform the dynamic analyses, it is necessary to have previously defined the loading as well as member properties such as stiffness and mass. The design of new structures sometimes involves several iterations of the analysis, where trial member sizes are used and the resulting response quantities are compared against the acceptance criteria defined in Chapter 5. 

As mentioned above, it is common practice to separate a structure into its major components for purposes of simplifying the dynamic analyses. This uncoupled member by member approach approximates the actual dynamic response since dynamic iteration effects between major structural elements are not considered. Resulting calculated dynamic responses, which include deflections and support reactions, may be underestimated or overestimated, depending on the dynamic characteristics of the loading and the structure. This approximation occurs regardless of the solution method used in performing the uncoupled dynamic analyses. 

Polymeric beads obtained via emulsion polymerization, precipitation, etc. can be stained with dyes providing that both have functional groups available [7]. Covalent coupling is mostly preferred but the attachment based on strong electrostatic interactions is also feasible. This method is mostly used to design pH- and ion-sensitive micro- and nanobeads. The dynamic response of such systems can be... 

As you will see, several different approaches are used in this book to analyze the dynamics of systems. Direct solution of the differential equations to give functions of time is a time domain teehnique. Use of Laplace transforms to characterize the dynamics of systems is a Laplace domain technique. Frequency response methods provide another approaeh to the problem. 

Becanse there are many factors involved in the dynamic mechanical compression of polyolefin foams, the Taguchi method was employed in a Perkin Elmer DM A7 dynamic mechanical analyser to establish a method to improve the measurement process. The signal-to-noise ratio was measured to determine how the variability could be improved. Control and noise factors were evaluated and levels chosen, with details being tabulated. Appendix A describes some of the factors. Tests were conducted on two closed cell foams. NA2006 foam is 48 kg/cu m LDPE and NEE3306 foam is 32 kg/cu m EVA. Different factors were shown to influence results for E and tan delta but an optimum combination is proposed for the simultaneous measurement of both properties. The results were less variable as frequency was increased. Small differences in the dynamic response of different materials should be measurable because of the low variability in the experimental results. 18 refs. 

The increase in time resolution of advanced sorption uptake methods and the joint use of sorption and radio-spectroscopic techniques allow for a more detailed analysis of the so-called "non-Fickian" behaviour of sorbing species in the intracrystalline bulk phase [18,28,29,76]. Correspondingly, information on molecular dynamics has been obtained for n-butane and 2-but ne in NFI zeolites by means of the single step frequency response method and C n.m.r. line-shape analysis [29]. As can be seen from Figures 4 and 5, the ad- / desorption for both sorbates proceeds very quickly, but with a... 

Several techniques are available for thermal conductivity measurements, in the steady state technique a steady state thermal gradient is established with a known heat source and efficient heat sink. Since heat losses accompany this non-equilibrium measurement the thermal gradient is kept small and thus carefully calibrated thermometers and heat source must be used. A differential thermocouple technique and ac methods have been used. Wire connections to the sample can represent a perturbation to the measurement. Techniques with pulsed heat sources (including laser pulses) have been used in these cases the dynamic response interpretation is more complicated. 

It is clear that the application of Langley s method in other polymer systems is essential to settle questions about Me and g in networks satisfactorily. The Ferry composite network method (223, 296) appears to be broadly applicable as well, although requiring special care to minimize slippage prior to introduction of the permanent crosslinks. (One is also still faced with the difficult question of whether g is the same for entanglements in crosslinked networks and in the plateau region of dynamic response.) Based on the limited results of these two methods in unswelled systems, Me values deduced by equilibrium and dynamic response appear to be practically the same.
