Torques

Any horizontal force imposed on the vessel by ancillary equipment, the line of thrust of which does not pass through the centre line of the vessel, will produce a torque on the vessel. Such loads can arise through wind pressure on piping and other attachments. However, the torque will normally be small and usually can be disregarded. The pipe work and the connections for any ancillary equipment will be designed so as not to impose a significant load on the vessel.

Between the bit and the surface, where the torque is generated, we find the drill string (Fig. 3.9). While being mainly a means for power transmission, the drill string fulfils several other functions, and if we move up from the bit we can see what those are. 

High deviation angles (above 60°) may cause excessive drag or torque while drilling, and will also make it difficult to later service the well with standard wireline tools. 

The torque to obtain the specified body force under construction conditions and on bolts removed from the bridge. 

Fig. 7 shows the torque necessary to obtain the specified body force under construction conditions and in tbe state when removed from the bridge. It can well be seen that the change of the friction coefficient causes a very big scattering, and the necessary torque is much bigger than specified. The distribution of the results of a measurement performed on 1,127 bolts is presented in Figure 8. An average of 80% of nominal body force was found by the new method. The traditional method found the nuts could be swivelled much further than specified on 42 bolts, these bolts were found to have 40 - 60 % body force by the new method. 

The traditional method for investigating the forces originating in the body of the bolt, which is based on measuring the torque of the nut, can detect only the bolts with a very great lack of body force since tbe friction coefficient worsens with time.

Other external forces or potentials can also be used, e.g., constant forces, or torques applied to parts of a protein to induce rotational motion of its domains (Wriggers and Schulten, 1997a). 

Ljii.iiitiJtTi mechanical calculation on this molecule used 1000 basis functions). However, dis-nilnited multipole models have not yet been widely incorporated into force fields, not least because of the additional computational effort required. It can be complicated to calculate llic atomic forces with the distributed multipole model in particular, multipoles that are lull located on atoms generate torques, which must be analysed further to determine the roi es on the nuclei. 

Figure 5,16. It is assumed that by using an exactly symmetric cone a shear rate distribution, which is very nearly uniform, within the equilibrium (i.e. steady state) flow held can be generated (Tanner, 1985). Therefore in this type of viscometry the applied torque required for the steady rotation of the cone is related to the uniform shearing stress on its surface by a simplihed theoretical equation given as...

The stress field corresponding to this regime is shown in Figure 6.18. As this figure shows the measuring surface of the cone is affected by these secondary stresses and hence not all of the measured torque is spent on generation of the primary (i.e, viscometric) flow in the circumferential direction. 

I liis simulation provides the quantitative measures required for evaluation of the extent of deviation from a perfect viscometric flow. Specifically, the finite element model results can be used to calculate the torque corresponding to a given set of experimentally determined material parameters as... 

In the case of a polyatomic molecule, rotation can occur in three dimensions about the molecular center of mass. Any possible mode of rotation can be expressed as projections on the three mutually perpendicular axes, x, y, and z hence, three moments of inertia are necessar y to give the resistance to angular acceleration by any torque (twisting force) in a , y, and z space. In the MM3 output file, they are denoted IX, lY, and IZ and are given in the nonstandard units of grams square centimeters. 

Write the rotational analog of Hooke s law for the torque x driving the oseillation in Problem 3. Write the rotational analog of Newton s second law. Combine the two laws to obtain the rotational analog of the Newton-Hooke equation, Eq. (4-1). 

The K quantum number ean not ehange beeause the dipole moment lies along the moleeule s C3 axis and the light s eleetrie field thus ean exert no torque that twists the moleeule about this axis. As a result, the light ean not induee transitions that exeite the moleeule s spinning motion about this axis. 

The radius R also applies to the entire fluid sample. Since torque equals the product of force and R, canceling out one power of R leaves the shearing force acting on the fluid on the left-hand side of Eq. (2.7). 

A constant force is applied to an ideal elastomer, assumed to be a perfect network. At an initial temperature Tj the length of the sample is Ij. The temperature is raised to Tf and the final length is If. Which is larger Ij or If (remember F is a constant and Tf > Tj) Suppose a wheel were constructed with spokes of this same elastomer. From the viewpoint of an observer, the spokes are heated near the 3 o clock position-say, by exposure to sunlight-while other spokes are shaded. Assuming the torque produced can overcome any friction at the axle, would the observer see the wheel turn clockwise or counterclockwise How would this experiment contrast, in magnitude and direction, with an experiment using metal spokes ... 

Techniques for evaluating processing stabiHty and mechanochemical effects include using a Brabender torque rheometer (29,30), injection mol ding (26,28), capillary rheometry (26,28), and measuring melt index as a function of residence time (26). 

The first methanol bus in the world was placed in revenue service in Auckland, New Zealand in June 1981. It was a Mercedes O 305 city bus using the M 407 hGO methanol engine. This vehicle operated in revenue service for several years with mixed results. Fuel economy on an equivalent energy basis ranged from 6 to 17% mote than diesel fuel economy. Power and torque matched the diesel engine and drivers could not detect a difference. ReHabiUty and durabihty of components was a problem. Additional demonstrations took place in Berlin, Germany and in Pretoria, South Africa, both in 1982.
