Small aspect ratio tokamak configurations are produced by adding a toroidal magnetic field to the rotamak. Configurations with toroidal fields ranging up to 200 G at the magnetic axis are studied. Typical parameters are Itor 2 kA, Bpoi 50 G, q0 1-3, ne (peak) 1019 m-3Te 12 eV, τp 15 μs and τe 5μs for an RF input power of 40 kW. Most features of these configurations can be modelled by an MHD equilibrium code. The presence of the toroidal field is observed to have a significant influence on the rotating magnetic field current drive mechanism. © 1988 IOP Publishing Ltd.

A heating scheme using radio-frequency (rf) power to heat a compact torodial plasma to kilovolt temperatures using lower hybrid heating is proposed. The scheme requires the use of high-power pulsed klystrons. The experimental design is shown with the details of the rf power system and of the coupling antenna array. The so-called 'radiation barrier' formed by the presence of oxygen and carbon impurities may be crossed by this type of pulsed heating source. The general atomic physics of this heating phase is described, with particular emphasis on the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium effects involved in the line and recombination impurity radiation. A survey of nonlinear parametric coupling effects is also given.

This paper presents a dynamical analysis of quadrupedal locomotion, with specific reference to an adult Nubian goat. Measurements of ground reaction forces and limb motion are used to assess variations in intersegmental forces, joint moments, and instantaneous power for three discernible gaits: walking, running, and jumping. In each case, inertial effects of the torso are shown to dominate to the extent that lower-extremity contributions may be considered negligible. Footforces generated by the forelimbs exceed those exerted by the hindlimbs; and, in general, ground reactions increase with speed. The shoulder and hip dominate mechanical energy production during walking, while the knee plays a more significant role in running. In both cases, however, the elbow absorbs energy, and by so doing functions primarily as a damping (control) element. As opposed to either walking or running, jumping requires total horizontal retardation of the body’s center of mass. In this instance, generating the necessary vertical thrust amounts to energy absorption at all joints of the lower extremities.

The capability and potential uses of a water management model suitable for multi reservoir water resource investigations, is described. Using historical rainfall data, the expected irrigation demand, and the catchment and reservoir characteristics, the model described produces the monthly storage behaviour, overflows and water levels in the reservoir system. An application of this model to the proposed Norwest development is also presented.

Given that human error, particularly in design, causes a significant proportion of structural failures, it is of interest to develop a design task model that simulates the effect of human error in design. The development and analysis of a model for a typical design task (loading calculations for sizing a steel portal frame building) are described in the present paper. It is shown that human error in design loading calculations leads to a loss of structural safety. A comparison of the results of the design task model with available survey data for the same task suggests that such models can realistically represent the effect of human error on the modelled process. © 1988.

Cross flow ultrafiltration is a pressure driven membrane process in which the fluid to be filtered flows parallel to the membrane surface. The formation of filter cake can be reduced by scouring force of the flow, thus better permeate rate is obtained. Laboratory-scale ultrafiltration experiments with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) solution of known molecular weight was carried out to study the membrane filter performances with respect to operating parameters. These operating parameters included, membrane molecular weight cut off size, molecular weight of PVA, influent concentration, cross flow velocity and applied pressure. It was discovered that clogging in the membrane occurs quite slowly during first 30 minutes, and quasi-steady state was noticed normally after 50 minutes of filtration time. In this study, steady state flux data were used to develop semi-empirical and empirical correlations which are useful in the optimum design of ultrafiltration. © 1988.

This study proposes a mathematical model based on the concept that there exists a maximum limit on particle deposition on the filter grain, to describe the entire cycle of filtration. The three model coefficients appearing in this mathematical model were calculated for different operating conditions using experimental results obtained from a filter 2 cm in depth. Although these model coefficients were different for different operating conditions, a uniform trend was observed in the variation of model parameters with operating conditions. © 1988.

In the present work the design of a complex mechanical system, namely the leg of a walking machine, is investigated by using a time analysis that uses specially coded boxes to identify the use of important knowledge bases and the decisions made. Based on this study, hypotheses on the generation of sub-goals and the length of the conceptual design process are proposed for future research wotk in mechanical design theory and methods. © 1988.

The generation of steady currents by a rotating magnetic field (RMF) in a cylindrical plasma permeated by a steady azimuthal (or toroidal) magnetic field is studied analytically. Solutions are presented for the following limiting cases:(1) high resistivity, when the penetration of the RMF and current drive are confined to a skin depth layer;(2) low resistivity and weak toroidal field (small compared with the RMF), when the RMF fully penetrates the plasma and the toroidal current is that due to nearly synchronous rotation of the electron fluid with the RMF;(3) low resistivity and intermediate toroidal field (comparable to the axial field associated with synchronous current), when the toroidal current is a significant fraction of its synchronous value, but large oscillating fields are generated; and(4) strong toroidal field, when the RMF fully penetrates the plasma but current is only driven in a boundary layer at the plasma edge.The applicability of these solutions is governed by the relative sizes of three dimensionless parameters.

View description>>
This paper addresses a basic problem which arises in the coordination of serial chain manipulators, namely, that of decomposing a given end effector velocity state into a set of joint rates. Such a problem is indeterminate for manipulators with kinematic redundancy. A novel method of solving the rate distribution problem for the class of fully revolute-jointed, serial manipulators is developed. The technique is an extension of the axial field solution scheme developed initially for solving the force allocation problem in a statically indeterminate parallel chain system. The basis of the solution method lies in the dualities of velocity and force systems between series and parallel mechanisms. The method offers an efficient means of rate coordination and is especially useful in the control of manipulators with high degrees of redundancy. Two examples have been given for illustration.

New electromagnetic directed energy pulse train (EDEPT) solutions of Maxwell’s equations have been obtained. One particular solution, the modified power spectrum (MPS) prdse, will be described in detail. This pulse can be tailored to give directed energy transfer in space in such a manner that theoretically it beats the diffraction limit. These EDEPT solutions are not physically pathological and can be reconstructed from causal Green’s functions. They represent fields that recover their initial ampfitudes along the direction of propagation out to extremely large distances from their initial location. Moreover, these fields appear to be launchable from finite aperture antennas.
