There are no mechanical cables connecting the controls to rudders or flaps, but the side stick is programmed to vibrate as if it were attached - enabling the pilot to feel the aircraft's flight behaviour through the stick.
In this paper, we use a new numerical model, called the Florida electro-mechanical cable model (FEMCAM) benchmarked against 40 different conductor tests, to study the influence of bending strain and current non-uniformity on the critical current and n-value of Nb3Sn strands and CICC cables.
This paper proposes a new method for designing avalanche protection nets based on the mechanical balance of cable structures, inspired by the mechanics of solids.
Cable-stayed arch bridge is a new type of composite bridge, which utilizes the mechanical characters of cable and arch.
To understand the mechanical characteristics of cable-arch bridge, in the present work, a model cable-arch bridge was constructed, and its static behavior was investigated using the finite element method and experimental test.
Thermal actions greatly influence the mechanical behavior of cable-stayed bridges.
For the purpose of modifying structural shape as well as mechanical properties, a cable-controlled reconfiguration procedure is subsequently proposed for these structures.
The models provided accurate predictions of the thermo-mechanical fire response of the beams, confirming that it is possible to exploit the CFRP mechanical contribution through a cable mechanism, provided that a thicker insulation is applied in the CFRP anchorage zones.
Because aerial cables are frequently subjected to severe environmental stresses, alloys of copper or aluminum are sometimes used to increase the mechanical strength of the cable, although at some detriment to its electrical conductivity.
The comparison of different mechanical properties of anchor cable steel strand wires are shown in Table 24.
The variation of conductor voltage current characteristic as a result of cable electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal interactions is challenging to model.
