Theoretical and experimental investigation on mechanical behavior of a cylindrical container enclosed cylindrical rods

Abstract

This paper descries theoretical and experimental research on mechanical behavior of a cylindrical container which is divided into multiple space of an equal size into which one cylindrical rod of the same diameter and material is enclosed. It is clarified that an explanatory variable and a criterion variable which are governed rolling movement characteristics of the cylindrical container. A rotary dumping number that is a dimensionless parameter is defined. Theoretical formulas are introduced for the cylindrical container in which one, two and numerous cylindrical rods are enclosed in none divided space of the cylindrical container. Unfixed coefficients in the theoretical formula are properly identified from experimental results practiced more than one. As a result of investigation, we have found that initial velocity from which a rotary dumping number becomes maximum value exists for the cylindrical container in which numerous cylindrical rods are enclosed in none divided space. Some results are presented in the form of parametric tables and graphs.
