Uneven pressure

Perforated sheets are, however, much more vulnerable to uneven pressure distributions and tilted inflow of air, as illustrated in Fig, 8,26. The supply air entering horizontally alxive the perforated sheet partly maintains its horizontal velocity component when being discharged through the holes in the perforated sheet. Thus, it leaves the perforated sheet at an angle less than 90°. The suction between the small outflowing jets also makes the airflow stick to the perforated sheet and flow along the sheet instead of perpendicular to (t.

Uneven pressures can be exerted on the drive shaft due to irregularities in the packing rings, resulting in irregular contact with the shaft. This causes uneven distribution of lubrication flow at certain locations, producing acute wear and packed-box leakages. The only effective solution to this problem is to replace the shaft sleeve or drive shaft at the earliest opportunity. 

All gases uniformly fill all spaces within a container. This space is called the volume (V). There cannot be an independent localized collection of gases exerting uneven pressures within a container. 

Figure 48-7 Designers treat radial wind forces as a static load on the stack. Such forces act this way As a steady wind flows across a cylinder, there is an uneven pressure distribution and a reversal of force, creating a suction on the leeward side.

If the press will still not unstick, the next step would be to loosen both front gibs on the press frame. As the press slide will never bottom out parallel, loosening of the gibs will allow the slide to float and relieve some of the uneven pressure on it. Then, use the press inch control buttons using forward and reverse directions of the motor to unstick the slide. If the gibs were loosened to unstick the press, the die must be removed so the slide can be reset. 

A much better approach to the elimination of uneven pressure application is the use of a relatively new technique isostatic lamination. In this process the layers are stacked on a fixture plate and sealed in a vacuum bag. The bag (or several bags) are then immersed in a pressure chamber that is filled with heated water or a mixture of water and glycerin. Most isostatic pressure chambers operate between 34.5 and 68.9 MPa (5000 and 10,000 psi). Typical temperatures range from 70 to 90°C and the time for the complete cycle is from 3 to 10 minutes. The manufacturers state the following advantages of isostatic lamination ... 

It is essential that the sample is placed in intimate contact with the IRE. For compliant samples, pressure may be applied to ensure adequate contact. Air voids between the sample and IRE will reduce the intensity of the spectrum. Make sure that even pressure is applied across the sample excess or uneven pressure can permanently damage the IRE. 

The radial force is due to the uneven pressure distribution in the pump casing. It is expressed as ... 

Circular delamination is where a circular portion only peels off from the fired body as shown in Figure 7-16, and in extreme cases, a plate shaped piece delaminates. This probably occurs due to the fact that normally, since the conductor pattern is concentrated in the center of the green sheet so that the total thickness of the middle part only is greater and is raised higher, uneven pressure is applied during lamination. 

The main mechanical challenge for end plates of the compression hardware is shown in Fig. 11. Even very high beam strengths will result in bending of the end plate and consequently uneven pressure distribution to the cells. Even if the deflection of the end plate is very small, it will cause a change to the electrical conductivity and contact resistances in the active area. Additionally it can result in mechanical failure of areas under high pressure.
