Abstract:

A new analytical model to predict the aerodynamic forces in axial flow compressors due to asymmetric tip-clearance is introduced. The model captures the effects of tip-clearance induced distortion (i.e., forced shaft whirl), unsteady momentum-induced tangential blade forces, and pressure-induced forces on the spool. Pressure forces are shown to lag the tip-clearance asymmetry, resulting in a tangential (i.e., whirl-inducing) force due to spool pressure. This force can be of comparable magnitude to the classical Alford force. Prediction and elucidation of the Alford force is also presented. In

Abstract:

It is now widely recognized that destabilizing forces, tending to generate forward rotor whirl, are generated in axial flow turbines as a result of the nonuniform torque induced by the nonuniform tip-clearance in a deflected rotor—the so called Thomas/Alford force (Thomas, 1958, and Alford, 1965). It is also recognized that there will be a similar effect in axial flow compressors, but qualitative considerations cannot definitively establish the magnitude or even the direction of the induced whirling forces—that is, if they will tend to forward or backward whirl.

Abstract:

An experimental and theoretical investigation has been conducted to evaluate the effects seen in axial-flow compressors when the centerline of the rotor is displaced from the centerline of the static structure of the engine. This creates circumferentially nonuniform rotor-tip clearances, unsteady flow, and potentially increased clearances if the rotating and stationary parts come in contact. The result not only adversely affects compressor stall margin, pressure rise capability, and efficiency, but also generates an unsteady, destabilizing, aerodynamic force, called the Thomas/Alford force, wh

Abstract:

This paper presents results of a program to investigate the magnitude, origin, and parametric variations of destabilizing forces that arise in high power turbines due to blade-tip leakage effects. Five different unshrouded turbine configurations and one configuration shrouded with a labyrinth seal were tested with static offsets of the turbine shaft. The forces along and perpendicular to the offset were measured directly with a dynamometer, and were also inferred from velocity triangles and pressure distributions obtained from detailed flow surveys. These two routes yielded values in fair agre

Abstract:

Two generalizations of Alford rotation have been proposed for processing 2 × 2-component data containing nonorthogonal split shear waves: singular value decomposition (SVD) and eigenvector‐eigenvalue decomposition (EED). Using a simple crossed‐dipole synthetic model, we demonstrate that the physical model behind the EED method is invalid. It incorrectly assumes that a vector source aligned with the particle motion of an anisotropic pure mode will excite only that one mode. Ray theory shows that a vector point‐force source embedded in a homogeneous anisotropic medium instead excites all those m

Abstract:

An experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects seen in axial-flow compressors when the centerline of the rotor becomes displaced from the centerline of the static structure of the engine, thus creating circumferentially nonuniform rotor-tip clearances. This displacement produces unsteady flow and creates a system of destabilizing forces, which contribute significantly to rotor whirl instability in turbomachinery. These forces were first identified by Thomas (1958. Bull. AIM, 71, No. 11/12, pp. 1039–1063.) for turbines and by Alford (1965. J. Eng. Power, Oct

Abstract:

It has been shown by Thomas (1958) and Alford (1965), that axial flow turbo-machinery is subject to rotor dynamic destabilizing gas forces produced by the circumferential variation of blade-tip clearance when the rotor is whirling. However, the magnitude and direction of these forces have yet to be clarified. For example, it is still uncertain, under which circumstances the rotor whirl direction will be forward, and when it will be backward, with respect to the rotation. In the present paper, a simple analysis of the perturbed flow in an axial compressor stage with whirling rotor is presented,

The results show modal vibration of the disk takes a great effect on the coupled natural frequency of shaft transverse vibration in the high rotational speed region.

The calculation results are consistent with current theory and experimental conclusions. The physical meaning of the ranges of numerical values of the efficiency factor are discussed. This gets rid of the difficulty of selecting the efficiency factor in Alford's formulation and lays a theoretical foundation for the stability analysis to increase turbine rotor stability.

A modified incompatibilist argument — which will be called the consequence argument — may thus be derived.

Alfred Kahn was a major force behind regulatory reform that initially benefited air travelers and subsequently consumers in other industries by placing greater reliance on markets than on regulators to allocate resources. Kahn also believed that effective governance was important for deregulation's success. In this paper, I argue that such governance has not occurred in practice and that problems that persist in partially deregulated industries are more likely to be solved by full deregulation and, if necessary, privatization than by government intervention.

Summary Wallace's 1858 paper ‘On the tendency of varieties to depart indefinitely from the original type’ is often thought to present a theory of natural selection identical with that of Darwin. Examination of Wallace's argument shows that it is different from Darwin's because Wallace thought that an inferior variety could coexist with a superior variety until environmental deterioration forced the extinction of the inferior one. Other interpretations of Wallace's argument are re-examined in the light of this finding.

En el transcurso de una clase ordinaria de filosofía, un incidente inesperado rompe la definición de la situación, haciendo añicos el consenso de trabajo entre los alumnos y el profesor. Para reconstruir su trasfondo de expectativas, los alumnos se ven forzados a emplear estrategias de acomodación y normalización. En el análisis de esta experiencia disruptiva convergen la fenomenología del mundo social de Alfred Schütz, la etnometodología de Harold Garfinkel y el interaccionismo simbólico de Erv

Abstract:

The article describes the history of second lieutenant Jan Siewiera “Wicher” (1922-1947), especially his underground activities. During World War II he served in the National Armed Forces where he graduated from an officer-cadet school and where he was a soldier of colonel “Czech’s” division (NN). In April 1945 he was arrested and sentenced to one year of imprisonment for his activities in the NSZ. After he left prison, he entered a division of the Underground Polish Army in the autumn of 1946, commanded by second lieutenant Alfons Olejnik “Babinicz”, in which he became deputy commander. After

Abstract:

In a tour-de-force for anole biology, Poe et al. (2017) provide the most complete phylogenetic analysis of members of the family Dactyloidae yet attempted. The contribution is remarkable in the completeness of sampled taxa and breath of included characters. It is equally remarkable in the concordance of their consensus tree with the topology of previous phylogenetic inferences. Thus, the creation of a near-complete data matrix of extant taxa demonstrates that an asymptote in tree topological stability likely was reached in previous studies with more limited sampling (e.g. Alfoldi 2011, Jackman

Abstract:

Alfred Russel Wallace’s conception of evolution and its relation to natural theology is examined. That conception is described as intelligent evolution—directed, detectably designed, and purposeful common descent. This essay extends discussion of the forces and influences behind Wallace’s journey from the acknowledged co-discoverer of natural selection, to include his much lesser known position within the larger history of natural theology. It will do so by contextualizing it with an analysis of Darwin’s metaphysical commitments identified as undogmatic atheism. In this sense, David Kohn’s the

It is a privilege, Mr President, to be invited to lecture to your Institute, especially in commemoration of Alfred Watson who did so much to establish the firm foundations of your profession. These are of such detail and intricacy that you remain elite and hardly subject to the kind of challenges which more and more affect other professions. Perhaps your time will come as mutterings are heard about your valuations of pension funds and to whom they belong.The subject of this lecture tonight is the way in which risk has forced itself to the front of public discussion and finds the expression in

Abstract:

Today most archaeologists are unaware of the enormous debt we owe to a small group who instigated a massive federal archaeological program to recover the archaeological evidence that was to be destroyed by a public works program involving hundreds of dams on most of the major rivers in the United States and set to begin immediately after World War II. This small group of archaeologists, organized by Frederick Johnson in May 1945, known as the Committee for the Recovery of Archaeological Remains (CRAR), consisted of Johnson (secretary), John O.

Abstract:

Alfred Schnittke (1934–1998) is among the most notable composers in the second half of the 20th century. Over the past 20 years his work has won wide acceptance and greater international attention. His music, performed by world-class musicians in countless countries and in the most prestigious concert halls, has become an integral part of Russian cultural heritage. Schnittke's vast popularity is evident in the existence of so many publications, reviews, and dissertations not only in Russia but all over the world. However, some aspects of the composer's life and music remain unexplored, and a s

Abstract:

Abraham Wheelock’s first edition of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle appeared at the height of the First English Civil War in 1643, and it is often treated by modern critics as an appendix to the Old English Historia Ecclesiastica to which it is attached. This paper argues that the Chronicle participated in a larger royalist campaign to establish the West Saxons as the institutional forbears of the first two Stuart kings. The West Saxon genealogies authorize a seventeenth-century conception of patriarchal, divine kingship when they trace Alfred to the biblical Adam. Alternatively, the medieval Chroni

Abstract:

Some thirty years ago, Alfred Cobban irreverently defined political science as "a device, invented by university teachers, for avoiding that dangerous subject politics without achieving science." Irrespective of philosophical predispositions, few students of politics can easily remain aloof from the long standing debate between the so-called traditional and behavioral schools in political, science. Even the most cynical observer would be forced to admit that this academic exchange occasionally has raised some enduring—if not fruitful— questions with respect to the essence and study of politica
