This study presents the results of a computer-based model developed for analysing the pit geometry formed when a dragline operates in pullback mode. Basically, three spoiling procedures are modelled for a flat or an inclined coal seam. The normal operation model explores the conditions for dragline employment with a flat coal seam. Inclined model on the other hand, is divided into two parts: the uphill operation model where the dragline spoils uphill and the downhill model where the dragline spoils downhill. Two spoiling arrangements axe embedded into pullback model: waste is placed into the room near the set on which the dragline is located (DNS arrangement) or into the room near the set the dragline excavates (DND arrangement). Waste dug from key cut is placed on three main points: at the toe of previous spoil pile (distant), at the toe of coal seam (near) and within adjacent empty pit (middle). The pullback model also studies geometrical requirements on the spoil side.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate buckling, post-buckling behaviors and failure characteristics of composite laminated plates under compressive loading with the help of finite element method and experiments. In the finite element analyses, eigen value extraction method is used to determine the critical buckling loads and nonlinear Riks and Newton-Raphson methods are employed to obtain post-buckling behaviors and failure loads. The effects of geometric imperfection amplitude on buckling and post-buckl...
Stride-to-stride energy regulation for robust self-stability of a torque-actuated dissipative spring-mass hopper
Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Saranlı, Uluç (2010-09-01)
In this paper, we analyze the self-stability properties of planar running with a dissipative spring-mass model driven by torque actuation at the hip. We first show that a two-dimensional, approximate analytic return map for uncontrolled locomotion with this system under a fixed touchdown leg angle policy and an open-loop ramp torque profile exhibits only marginal self-stability that does not always persist for the exact system. We then propose a per-stride feedback strategy for the hip torque that explicitl...

EFFECT OF CAN ARRANGEMENT ON TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN STILL RETORT STERILIZATION
SUMER, A; ESIN, A (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01)
A general dynamic mathematical model was developed to predict the effect of can arrangement geometry on temperature distribution within cans in still retorts. For this purpose, the temperature variation in the cans was recorded for various can arrangements. Also, the influence of the physical properties of the material and the mechanism of heat transfer for heat penetration were studied. Experiments were carried out with water, peas in brine and tomato paste in no. 3 cans in an experimental vertical stil...
One-dimensional dynamic microslip friction model
Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Menq, Ch (Elsevier BV, 2006-05-09)
A one-dimensional dynamic microslip friction model, including the damper inertia, is presented in this paper. An analytical approach is developed to obtain the steady-state solution of the resulting nonlinear partial differential equations when subjected to harmonic excitation. In the proposed approach, according to the excitation frequency, a single mode of the system is considered in the steady-state solution for simplicity; consequently, phase difference among spatially distributed points is neglected.
