The Sweedand filter, a significant departure from the standard end-opening design, has the cylindrical shell spHt in a horizontal plane into two parts, where the bottom half can be swung open for cake discharge. The upper half is rigidly supported and both the feed and the filtrate piping are fixed to it. 

Test Methods. There is no standard test method for measuring transmissibihty or isolation efficiency of vibration isolation devices. The most common procedure is to measure the vibration transmitted to the supporting stmcture with the isolators in place and with the equipment supported on rigid blocking. From these measurements the insertion loss in dB is deterrnined by the following where T is the transmitted vibration with isolators in place and is the transmitted vibration with rigid supports. 

Cleaning is frequently aided mechanically. Foam balls scour the center of tubes, and hoUow-filter systems can be back-flushed. HoUow fibers and membranes attached to rigid supports can be back-pressured, thereby eliminating the pressure drop that holds redispersed films on the membrane surface. 

The coil ends must be rigidly supported and adequately braced with binding rings or tapes to prevent their movement and also absorb shocks and vibrations during excessive overloads, starting inrush currents (/, ), and voltage surges. 

String instruments all work on the same basic principle. A thin string, of gut or metal, is stretched tightly between two rigid supports. If the string is plucked, or hit, or bowed, it will go into sideways vibrations of precisely defined frequency which can... 

It can be observed from the previous expression that when natural frequency of the rigid system. For a system with a finite stiffness at the supports, or K/, = Kr, then lu is less than Lu t. Hence, flexibility causes the natural frequency of the system to be lowered. Plotting the natural frequency as a function of bearing stiffness on a log scale provides a graph as shown in Figure 5-15. 

Figures 5-16a and 5-16b show vibration modes of a uniform shaft supported at its ends by flexible supports. Figure 5-16a shows rigid supports and a flexible rotor. Figure 5-16b shows flexible supports and rigid rotors.

Thin sheets of mica or polymer films, which are coated with silver on the back side, are adhered to two cylindrical quartz lenses using an adhesive. It may be noted that it is necessary to use an adhesive that deforms elastically. One of the lenses, with a polymer film adhered on it, is mounted on a weak cantilever spring, and the other is mounted on a rigid support. The axes of these lenses are aligned perpendicular to each other, and the geometry of two orthogonally crossed cylinders corresponds to a sphere on a flat surface. The back-silvered tbin films form an optical interferometer which makes it possible... 

Figure 13-23 suggests recommended pulse level (peak-to-peak) pressure pulsations for acceptable pipe vibration. Figure 13-24 presents allowable machinery and pipe vibration at safe limits and damage levels, and Figure 13-25 presents allowable pressure pulsations for various pipe spans between rigid supports when a 5 mil peak-to-peak vibration is allowed at the center of the pipe spans for the pipe sizes noted. 

Exposure of coupons or specimens to the process stream cannot be achieved satisfactorily unless they are rigidly supported in a rack, although in some cases it may be possible to simply hang them in by means of a wire. Methods of exposure coupons are described in ASTM Method G4 1984.

On the other hand, Seebach and Heckel have demonstrated that sulfur-containing TADDOL derivatives could be immobilised on hydrophobic con-trolled-pore glass silica gel. Indeed, controlled-pore glass (CPG) is a rigid support that offers an openly accessible pore structure in all possible solvents... 

Consider a physical pendulum, as represented in Fig. 1. A mass m is attached by a spring to a rigid support. The spring is characterized by a force... 

Several works have been reported for macroscopically orientated biological membranes.106-109 The biomembrane alignment can be carried out mechanically or magnetically. The first one relies on the deposition of lipid bilayers on the surface of a rigid support (glass plates) such that the bilayer normal is perpendicular to the surface of the support itself. Small peptides and the lipid bilayers can be dissolved in organic solvents which are successively removed under vacuum.105 The re-hydration of the system in a chamber of an optimized temperature, humidity and time gives rise to the desired orientation. 

Attaching the five-coordinate system to a rigid support (i.e., silica gel), thereby reducing its mobility and ability to add a sixth ligand. 

Examples are given of the use of extruded PE foam sections in conjunction with other polymeric materials in the production of triangular, semicircular, rectangular and trapezoidal profiles, e.g. beam-like structures in which the rigid support may be of GRP. The foam can be bonded with thermally-fusible adhesives or two-sided self adhesive tape affixed to the foam prior to fabricating. A standard range of the foam prodncts is available, but other types can be tailor-made.
