  • Patent number: 11494536
    Abstract: A load calculator includes a coefficient storage, a replacement deriver, and an internal-load deriver. The storage stores a first coefficient, an internal load acting on a target point in a target member when a unit load acts on a concentrated load point in the target member along one of three orthogonal axes, and as a second coefficient, an internal load acting on the target point when a unit moment acts on the concentrated load point around one of the axes. The replacement deriver derives a replacement load and moment by replacing an external load acting on the target member with six force components acting on the concentrated load point. The internal load deriver derives an internal load acting on any target point with the first coefficient, the replacement load, the second coefficient, and the replacement moment when the external load acts on the target member.

  • Patent number: 11084601
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a damage detection system includes: a physical quantity detection unit, a flight condition changing part and a damage detection part. The physical quantity detection unit detects a physical quantity of a structural object composing an aircraft during a flight of the aircraft. The flight condition changing part changes at least one flight condition of the aircraft to at least one specific flight condition when the physical quantity of the structural object has been detected by the physical quantity detection unit. The damage detection part determines whether a damage arose in the structural object, based on a physical quantity which has been detected, from the structural object of the aircraft flying with the at least one specific flight condition, by the physical quantity detection unit.

  • Patent number: 4147811
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to the manufacture of bean curd having a coarse structure. Soybean milk is coagulated and a mass of coagulated soybean milk is broken into smaller lumps. These lumps are distributed into a plurality of continuously moving cups. Fluid soybean milk is poured into each cup to promote coagulation and bonding of its contents as the fluid milk is combined with residual coagulant solution in the cup. The cups are heated, whereby a cake of coarse-grained bean curd is produced in each cup. Disclosed also is an apparatus particularly adapted for carrying out the method.
