TL;DR: The OGLE-2012-BLG-0724Lb system was found to have a mass ratio q = (1.58 +/- 0.15) x 10(exp -3).
Abstract: We report the discovery of a planet by the microlensing method, OGLE-2012-BLG-0724Lb. Although the duration of the planetary signal for this event was one of the shortest seen for a planetary event, the anomaly was well covered thanks to high-cadence observations taken by the survey groups OGLE and MOA. By analyzing the light curve, this planetary system is found to have a mass ratio q = (1.58 +/- 0.15) x 10(exp -3). By conducting a Bayesian analysis, we estimate that the host star is an M dwarf with a mass of M(sub L) = 0.29(+0.33/-0.16) solar mass located at D(sub L) = 6.7(+1.1/-1.2) kpc away from the Earth and the companion's mass is m(sub P) = 0.47(+0.54/-0.26) M(Jup). The projected planet- host separation is a falsum = 1.6(+0.4/-0.3) AU. Because the lens-source relative proper motion is relatively high, future highresolution images would detect the lens host star and determine the lens properties uniquely. This system is likely a Saturn-mass exoplanet around an M dwarf, and such systems are commonly detected by gravitational microlensing. This adds another example of a possible pileup of sub-Jupiters (0.2 less than m(sub P)/M(sub Jup) less than 1) in contrast to a lack of Jupiters (approximately 1-2 M(sub Jup)) around M dwarfs, supporting the prediction by core accretion models that Jupiter-mass or more massive planets are unlikely to form around M dwarfs.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the membrane force on the stresses in a simply supported Bernoulli-Euler beam undergoing moderately large random vibrations was investigated, and it was shown that the percentage reduction of the mean square bending stress can be substantially less than the percent reduction of mean square displacements, thereby lowering any expected nonlinear safety factor of the stresses.

01 Jan 1985TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that much of the scatter may be associated with a change in failure mode which generates a discontinuity in the S-N curve and that the remaining scatter is a consequence of static strength variations.
Abstract: Traditionally the large scatter encountered during fatigue testing of E-Glass/Epoxy has been accepted as being an inevitable consequence of the fatigue process. Evidence is presented which suggests that much of the scatter may be associated with a change in failure mode which generates a discontinuity in the S—N curve and that the remaining scatter is a consequence of static strength variations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cowl position, Reynolds number, boundary-layer trip and the introduction of a small restriction in the intake duct were investigated, and the experimental results indicated a good intake flow starting process over multiple changes of parameters.
Abstract: A ‘two dimensional’ air intake comprising a wedge followed by an isentropic compression has been tested in the Cranfield Gun Tunnel at Mach 8·2. These tests were performed to investigate qualitatively the intake flow starting process. The effects of cowl position, Reynolds number, boundary-layer trip and introduction of a small restriction in the intake duct were investigated. Schlieren pictures of the flow on the compression surface and around the intake entrance were taken. Results showed that the intake would operate over the Reynolds number range tested. Tests with a laminar boundary layer demonstrated the principal influence of the Reynolds number on the boundary-layer growth and consequently on the flow structure in the intake entrance. In contrast boundary layer tripping produced little variation in flow pattern over the Reynolds number range tested. The cowl lip position appeared to have a strong effect on the intake performance. The only parameter which prevented the intake from starting was the introduction of a restriction in the intake duct. The experimental data obtained were in good qualitative agreement with the CFD predictions. Finally, these experimental results indicated a good intake flow starting process over multiple changes of parameters.
