Rough terrain profiling using digital image correlation

Road profiling is an important aspect of vehicle dynamics simulations especially over rough terrains. The accurate measurement of rough terrains allows for more accurate multi body simulations. Three dimensional road profiles are usually performed by utilising a line scan sensor which measures several points lateral to the road. The sensors range from simple road following wheels to LiDAR sensors. The obtained line scans are longitudinally stitched together using the orientation and position of the sensor to obtain a full three dimensional road profile. The sensor’s position and orientation therefore needs to be accurately determined in order to combine the line scans to create an accurate representation of the terrain. The sensor’s position and orientation is normally measured using an expensive inertial measurement unit or Inertial Navigation System (INS) with high sensitivity, low noise and low drift. This paper proposes a road profiling technique which utilises stereography, based on two inexpensive digital cameras, to obtain three-dimensional measurements of the road. The system negates the use of an expensive INS system to determine orientation and position. The data sets also require subsampling which can be computationally expensive. A simple subsampling routine is presented which takes advantage of the structure of the data sets to significantly speed up the process.     

Study on local topology model of low/high streak structures in wall-bounded turbulence by tomographic time-resolved particle image velocimetry

The relationship between the bursting event and the low/high-speed streak in the logarithmic law (log-law) region of a turbulent boundary layer is investigated. A tomographic time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TRPIV) system is used to measure the instantaneous three-dimensional-three-component (3D-3C) velocity field. The momentum thickness based Reynolds number is about 2 460. The topological information in the log-law region is obtained experimentally. It is found that the existence of the quadrupole topological structure implies a three-pair hairpin-like vortex packet, which is in connection with the low/high-speed streak. An idealized 3D topological model is then proposed to characterize the observed hairpin vortex packet and low/high-speed streak.

Wave forces on a submerged horizontal plate - Part I: Theory and modelling

This paper is concerned with the propagation of nonlinear gravity waves over a thin horizontal plate submerged in water of shallow depth. An unsteady solution of the problem is obtained by use of the theory of directed fluid-sheets for the two-dimensional motion of an incompressible and inviscid fluid. Particular attention is paid to the calculation of the nonlinear wave-induced vertical and horizontal forces and overturning moment by solving the Level I Green–Naghdi equations. The theoretical formulation of the problem is given in this paper (Part I), while the results due to solitary and cnoidal waves, and comparisons with the available experimental data are given in a companion paper under the same title (Part II).     

Danckwerts Revisited – The Use of Entropy to Define Scale and Intensity of Segregation

Rényi statistical entropy as a means to quantify mixing in two‐dimensional binary systems is presented. The use of Rényi entropies in defining the scale and intensity of segregation for mixing quality determination is analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the mixing process and the structures generated in the system is explored by using the Rényi entropy as an easy and computationally efficient method to calculate the system spectrum of fractal dimensions.

     

Electrostatic forces in micromanipulation: Experimental characterization and simulation including roughness

Manipulation by contact of objects between 1 m and 1 mm are often disturbed by adhesion between the manipulated object and the gripper. Electrostatic forces are among the phenomena responsible for this adhesive effect. Analytical models have been developed in the literature to predict electrostatic forces. Most models have been developed within the framework of scanning probe microscopy, i.e. for a contact between a conducting tip and a metallic surface. In our study, we developed a simulation tool based on finite elements modeling. The strength of this model lies in the fact that it integrates roughness parameters. Measurements of electrostatic forces in function of roughness were conducted by atomic force microscopy. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results showing very good correlation. This demonstrates the influence of surface topography on electrostatic forces, especially for very small separation distances and proves the utility of the simulation tool in designing surfaces with controlled adhesion. Some application fields to which these results can be applied are drug delivery devices and micromanipulation tools.
