This is an overview of the motion of the "standard" type of diesel fuel pump cam which is used to deliver fuel from the fuel tank to the combustion chamber of a single-acting, tubular type of diesel hammer. What are Kinematics? As defined in Seely and Ensign, "Kinematics deals with the relation between distance, time, … Continue reading The Kinematics of Diesel Fuel Pump Cams

Some Lessons from “Savinov and Luskin”
One of the mysteries of geotechnical engineering relative to driven piles is why the Soviets, with their mathematical prowess, never applied wave mechanics to predict the performance of pile driving systems using the wave equation. In a sense this book, which is a classic in the geotechnical literature, answers that, but not in a direct … Continue reading Some Lessons from “Savinov and Luskin”
Drilling Using Vibration of Deep Dewatering and Artesian Wells
For the rest of the book click here. Recently, some construction organizations have begun to use the vibration method for immersing and removing large-diameter casing pipes. At Stalingradgidrostroy recently [65], a hydrovibration method for immersing pipes with a diameter of 400-500 mm has been developed and successfully implemented. Using this method, it was possible to … Continue reading Drilling Using Vibration of Deep Dewatering and Artesian Wells
Analysis of Vibratory Pile Drivers using Longitudinal and Rotational Oscillations with a Purely Plastic Soil Model
This is another in a series of technical reports on vibratory and impact-vibration pile driving equipment. It is scheduled to be presented at the 2024 Arts and Research Conference at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. You can download the paper here. The abstract is as follows: Abstract: Driving piles by longitudinal vibrations has been … Continue reading Analysis of Vibratory Pile Drivers using Longitudinal and Rotational Oscillations with a Purely Plastic Soil Model
