In this paper, the microstructure of the water strider’s legs was observed, the lengths, diameters of the water strider’s legs were measured by the instruments such as scanning electron microscope . The supporting force model of water strider’s legs was established, the factors associated with the supporting force were analyzed. The critical conditions in which water strider’s legs do not pierce the water surface were discussed. the maximum supporting force of water strider’s single hind leg was calculated according to the supporting force model of water strider’s legs, the calculated value is 3399.13×10-6N, which is about 17 times of its body weight.
The paper aims at the analysis of machine spindle runout characteristics and designs of a laser displacement sensor in non-contact spindle runout measurement system. To ensure accuracy, we designed the laser displacement sensor calibration device, and the test calibration experiment was carried out by using laser displacement sensor. Experimental results showed that the test methods met the accuracy requirements of test system.
Bolt hydraulic tensioner is ideal equipment for bolt fastening and disassembly. Compared with traditional method, it has incomparable advantages. Bolt hydraulic tensioner has been widely used in wind power, nuclear power, aerospace, steel, petrochemical and other major fields. In this paper, two methods of calibrating the hydraulic stretcher are proposed, and the problems that should be paid attention to in the process of calibrating the stretcher are analyzed in detail, it can be used for reference in the calibration of hydraulic stretcher.
Abstract. The supporting force model of the bionic water strider model was established through mechanical analysis, the critical conditions of which the bionic water strider model’s legs pierce the water surface were analyzed. The bionic water strider model with 4 legs was manufactured, super hydrophobic copper wire was fabricated, which was as the bionic water strider model’s legs. The maximum supporting forces of the bionic water strider model was measured through the test, which was compared with the calculated value according to the supporting force model, the error rate is 9.3%.
In this paper, the leaves of 5 kinds of hydrophobic plants including lotus, canna, green poplar, grape and pumpkin were selected, whose contact angles were 150.6º, 135.5 º, 110.4 º, 101.3 º and 94.8 º respectively by contact angle instrument measuring. These plant leaves were adhered to rectangular box by double-sided adhesive tape, as experimental model.The maximum supporting force of these models on water surface were measured by analytical balance, and the supporting force increases as contact angle, the dimple pressed by the model on water surface can increase its supporting force. Through mechanical analysis, the mathematical model of the supporting force was established, the relationship between depth of dimple and contact angle was analyzed by the mathematical model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
