Abstract: The present study investigates the effects of slip and heat transfer on peristaltic mechanism of Bingham fluid in an inclined tube. The sinusoidal, multi-sinusoidal, triangular, square and trapezoidal wave forms are considered. The analysis has been carried out under the assumptions of long wavelength and small Reynold's number approximations. The closed-form solutions are obtained for velocity, plug flow velocity, pressure gradient, streamlines, and temperature. The numerical integration is employed to investigate the effects of pressure rise and frictional force. The influence of relevant parameters on physiological quantities of interest is analyzed and discussed through graphs. The study reveals that velocity and thermal slip have a decreasing effect on velocity and temperature. Further, it is noticed that the volume of trapped bolus increases for increasing values of velocity slip parameter.

Abstract: This article describes the effect of inclination of columns on the change of stiffness of high-rise buildings with circular floor plan. Analysis was made for the building loaded by forces induced by wind and seismic loads. Various high-rise buildings with columns with different inclinations and buildings with vertical columns were analyzed from the viewpoint of horizontal displacements. The results were compared. The comparison was made with horizontal displacements of the building, where columns were inclined.

Abstract: In order to prevent the solar heater falling off the roof in extreme weather and spread the solar building technology, this paper gave a feasible inclination and new connection for collectors used in slope roof and ridge in cold district. The reliability of connection was analyzed under snowstorm and fierce wind condition. The results showed that raising the inclination angle of heater 3°higher than local latitude was beneficial to ensure the security of collector and to reduce the energy consumed by buildings. In the event that the whole load has acted on a single expansion in combined load condition, it remain contained 286% safety margin, while safety margin was up to 415% under fierce wind circumstances individually. It is obvious that the connection is quiet suit for installing heaters on the roof without forethought pedestals.

Abstract: A method of measuring inclination based on MEMS accelerometer is introduced,and a digital inclination sensor is developed. This paper describes the hardware structure of sensor and working principle. MEMS-based accelerometer senses axial component of gravity in sensitivity-axis direction. MSP430 microcontroller does temperature self-compensation in the light of the temperature drift fitting curve while the thermometer monitors environment temperature. IIR filtering algorithm is adopt to eliminate disturbance from high-frequency vibration noises. In order to analyze characteristics in frequency domain, Butterworth filter is simulated and filtering coefficients are given by MATLAB. The sensor is calibrated to eliminate angle drifts by RS232 interface. The result shows that the measuring accuracy of inclination sensor is up to 0.002°.

Abstract: The faceting and migration behavior of low angle <100> grain boundaries in high purity aluminum bicrystals was investigated. In-situ technique based on orientation contrast imaging was applied. In contrast to the pure tilt boundaries, which remained straight/flat and immobile during annealing at elevated temperatures, mixed tilt-twist boundaries readily assumed a curved shape and steadily moved under the capillary force. Computational analysis revealed that this behavior is due to the inclinational anisotropy of grain boundary energy, which in turn depends on boundary geometry – the energy of pure tilt low angle <100> boundaries is anisotropic, whereas that of mixed tilt-twist boundaries isotropic with respect to boundary inclination.

Abstract: This paper presents a new catching-mechanism which is the key device of the casing continuous circulation system designed by us. The difference between different structures would have important effect on its stability and strength. In this paper, through limiting the spacing of installation and the strength of the catching-mechanism, we analyzed the effect of inclination of the horizontal hydraulic cylinder based on the finite element method. And the optimum design of the catching-mechanism which shall satisfy all of the constraints were achieved with the help of MATLAB, ANSYS and ADAMS.

Abstract: The issue of eccentric wear of sucker rod is not only reduce the strength of the sucker rod that results to sucker rod breaking, but also wear out the pipe leading to leakage of tubing, which impact the regular production of the well. This paper aims at the popular issue in-site, analyze the factors such as wellbore deviation, stroke and fluid viscosity, tested the effect of water content, submergence on the eccentric wear by the laboratory experiment. The mechanism of eccentric wear of sucker rod is studied based on the factors impact the deformation under the stress and displacement constraints. An advanced technique is proposed to prevent eccentric wear based on the theory of hydraulic lubrication theory. It can make wedge form gap formed between sucker rod and tubing with the special tools, so that prolong the life of the well.

Abstract: Taking circular gravity foundation of high-rise structure in coral sands as research object, on the basis of mechanical analysis of foundation during inclination, the inclination vibration equation was established. The amplitude of foundation inclination was calculated. The inclination performance function of foundation was established. JC method is used to calculate the reliability index of foundation. Calculation shows that the amplitude of wind velocity has great influence on the reliability index of foundation when the frequency of sinusoidal wind pressure equals the natural frequency of foundation in inclination vibration. In the design of foundation, the natural frequency of foundation in inclination vibration should be made as far away from the frequency of fluctuating wind pressure as possible.

Abstract: Precise control of the inclination and azimuth is of great significance for the efficient drilling of dynamic point-the-bit rotary steerable drilling tool. The design details of offsetting steerable mechanism for rotary steerable drilling tool based on inner and outer double eccentric rings are demonstrated in the paper. While drilling, the tool collar rotates and passes the torque and drilling pressure to the drill bit efficiently, and the stable platform mounted inside the collar is maintained geostationary by rotating it counter to collar rotation at the same frequency. And an offsetting steerable mechanism in the stable platform provides selectively and axially inclination to the collar by adjusting the relative position of the inner to the outer double eccentric rings. It is shown that the maximum oriented inclination can be reached as 1.0 degree flexibly for the presented structure.

Abstract: Ultra-precision ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting (UVC) with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tool refers to the cutting with certain amplitude and high frequency tool vibration, which can definitely reduce the cutting forces and tool wear when compared with the conventional cutting. However, in the actual cutting process, the tool vibration direction is not strictly in accordance with the designed cutting direction based on the manufacturing dimension and installation accuracy error of the vibration device. It will result in an inclined cutting angled with the linear direction. The inclination angle leads to periodical grooves on the machined surface, therefore affecting the quality of machined surface. In addition, the inclined vibration cutting will also lead to an increase in cutting forces, thus exacerbating the PCD tool wear. This paper has analyzed the influence of inclined vibration on the roughness of machined surface. A finite element (FE) simulation model of inclined linear vibration cutting has also been set up to analyze the variations of cutting forces with different inclination angle, so as to explore the mechanism of tool wear. Moreover, ultra-precision ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting (UVC) experiments with different inclination angle have been carried out. The machined surface and PCD tools have been investigated. Combining with the theoretical analysis, this work has concluded that inclined vibration will increase the roughness of machined surface as well as exacerbate the PCD tool wear. The effective techniques have been proposed to improve the surface quality and reduce the tool wear by reducing the inclination angle of vibration and with carbon atmosphere.
