Rotator Tears

Impulse turbine design employs a stationary, circular diaphragm onto which a large number of fixed-position, tear-shaped nozzle blades (vanes) are mounted. High-velocity steam moves across the vanes and produces steam jets that are directed into waterwheel-type buckets, mounted onto discs around the turbine rotor. The pressure of the steam in the buckets forces the shaft to rotate. The kinetic energy of the jets is translated into mechanical work as the shaft turns. 

Rotorvaned leaf is usually further cut in a CTC (crush, tear, curl) machine, which is made up of two closely spaced grooved rollers rotating at different velocities. After leaf passes through this equipment, it is more finely divided than that processed by orthodox rolling. 

With rotation moulding T is very small a narrow distribution may then be preferred, also because a higher favours the impact strength etc. With film extrusion a broad distribution is advantageous for making very thin films and for the elastic effects M ) required in shrink films a narrow distribution results in better tear strength and impact resistance M ). 

When the flare has dropped the combined length of the hangwire, tear-wire, tear-wire cord, sleeve, and shrouds, its momentum breaks the tear-wire, allowing the flare to drop. It is stabilized in flight by its fins and sleeve. The arming vane on the fuze rotates to arm the fuze a maximum of 3 seconds after release when released at speeds of 200 mph or higher... 

Dimers. It is well known that H2 pairs form bound states which are called van der Waals molecules. The discussions above based on the isotropic interaction approximation have shown that for the (H2)2 dimer a single vibrational state, the ground state (n = 0), exists which has two rotational levels f = 0 and 1). If the van der Waals molecule rotates faster ( > 1), centrifugal forces tear the molecule apart so that bound states no longer exist. However, two prominent predissociating states exist which may be considered rotational dimer states in the continuum (/ = 2 and 3). The effect of the anisotropy of the interaction is to split these levels into a number of sublevels. 

In all the above methods, it is necessary to cure specimens of test samples for each of a series of curing times and then perform the desired test on the vulcanizate. However, in the test for continuous measurement of vulcanization complete information could be obtained with saving in time. The mooney viscometer test approaches this objective. However a weakness of the mooney viscometer test is that the test is completed before a measurable modulus value after the scorch point has been obtained. This is because the test sample is destroyed after the induction period is passed due to tearing by continuous rotation of the rotor whether small or large. To overcome this deficiency and to provide a total cure curve for the entire vulcanization cycle, a series of instruments called cure meters was developed. In each of these instruments the stiffness or modulus of the compound was chosen as parameters for vulcanization continuously. The Vulkameter developed by Bayers, Germany was the first of the cure meters developed. 

Penetrating and non-penetrating neck injuries are more likely to damage the carotid than the better protected vertebral artery. The vertebral artery appears to be more vulnerable to rotational and hyperextension injuries of the neck, particularly at the level of the atlas and axis. Laceration, dissection and intimal tears may be complicated by thrombosis and then embolism and, therefore, ischemic stroke at the time of the injury or some days or even weeks after the injury. Later stroke may be a consequence of the formation of a traumatic aneurysm, arteriovenous fistula or a fistula between the carotid and vertebral arteries (Davis and Zimmerman 1983). 

The exact calculation of the J-integral and the tearing modulus (1) is quite complicated. It was shown by several authors that a good approximation for the J-integral in the case of rotation around a plastic hinge can be presented as [13,14]...
