Unreferenced section date October 2009 File Rubber speed cushions.jpg thumb right Speed cushions in Canada, showing the relatively narrow section which can be passed over by wider wheelbase emergency vehicles at higher speeds than other traffic calming devices like speed hump s. Speed cushions are traffic calming devices designed as several small speed humps installed across the width of the road with spaces between them. They are generally installed in a series across a roadway resembling a split speed hump. The design of speed cushions forces cars to slow down as they ride with one or both wheels on the humps. However, the wider axle of emergency vehicles such as fire engines and ambulances allows them to straddle the cushions without slowing down or increasing response times. Although the newest available traffic calming device, speed cushions are rapidly growing in popularity due to their ability to slow cars without affecting emergency vehicles. Advantages Speed cushions have several ... to speed humps and speed tables since they slow down emergency vehicles . Speed cushions address ....

Similar measures Speed humps are similar to speed cushions although they are solid units spanning the width of the road. Speed tables are longer than speed humps with a flat section in the middle.

Tactical speed is the maximum speed of a submarine at which it is possible to remain undetected, whilst still having the capability of detecting other ships. Tactical speed is limited by the acoustic noise generated by the ship itself, which affects the ability to detect external sources of sound. One of the main contributors to internal sources of noise is the Submarine Propulsion propulsion system . Tactical speed for modern submarines with nuclear propulsion is at the level of 8 13 knots, but the newest ships of IV generation can achieve tactical speeds over 20 knots. The actual maximum speed of a submarine can be much greater than its tactical speed. For instance, the maximum speed when submerged of USS Scranton SSN 756 is 33 knots, but its maximum tactical speed is only 12 knots.

In solid mechanics , in the field of rotordynamics , the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity which excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller, leadscrew Running speed leadscrew , or gear. As the speed of rotation approaches the object s natural frequency, the object begins to resonate which dramatically increases systemic vibration. The resulting resonance occurs regardless of orientation. When the rotational speed is equal to the numerical value of the natural vibration then that speed is called critical speed. Critical speed of shafts All rotating shaft, even in the absence of external load, deflect during rotation. The combined weight of a shaft and wheel can cause deflection that will create resonant vibration at certain speeds, known as Critical Speed. The magnitude of deflection depends upon the followings a stiffness of the shaft and it s support b total mass of shaft and attached parts c unbalance of the mass with respect to the axis of rotation d the amount of damping in the system Therefore, the calculation of critical speed for fan shaft is necessary. Critical Speed Equation Nc There are two method used to calculate critical speed, Rayleigh Ritz and Dunkerley Equation. Both the Rayleigh Ritz and Dunkerley equation are an approximations to the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. In general, the Rayleigh Ritz equation overestimates and the Dunkerley equation underestimates the natural frequency. The equation illustrated below is the Rayleigh Ritz equation, good practice suggests that the maximum operation speed should not exceed 75 of the critical speed. Criticalspeed,Nc 30 square root of g st where g gravity acceleration 9.81 m s2 st total maximum static deflection Critical speed depend upon the magnitude or location of the load or load carried by the shaft, the length of the shaft, its diameter and the kind of bearing support.
