Airbus and European Space Agency to Deliver Keynotes at the 2011 LMS European Aerospace

LMS International is pleased to announce the 2011 LMS European Aerospace Conference to be held at the Hotel Radisson BLU in Toulouse, France on the 5th and 6th of October.

The conference will host Dr. Constantinos Stavrinidis, Head of Mechanical Engineering Department, European Space Agency and Chairman of NAFEMS, Mr. Nicolas Botargues, Head of Vibration & Propulsion Integration, Department EGLAV, Airbus France and Mr. Thomas Wilson, Transnational Head of Aircraft Ground Loads, Flight Physics, Loads and Aeroelastics, EGLLG, Airbus as keynote speakers.

“We are greatly pleased that Dr. Stavrinidis, Mr. Botargues and Mr. Wilson will present their visionary approach to the unique engineering challenges in the aerospace industry” stated Dr. Urbain Vandeurzen, LMS Chairman and CEO, “Our aim is to provide a meeting place for the aerospace community to exchange ideas and find ways to respond to the current challenges in the industry.”

This two-day conference focuses on latest technological evolutions in mechatronic simulation and test-based engineering processes and illustrates their contribution to faster aircraft development and better risk mitigation. Key speakers from the industry will have the opportunity to share their vision and present their strategy to address the next generation of aerospace engineering challenges. The conference is the ideal venue to meet with LMS customers, executives, partners, and experts and discuss best practices and technology updates.

The following companies confirmed their participation:
Airbus, Aeroconseil, Alenia Aeronautica, Boeing, Carleton University Canada, Certia ESA, EADS CASA, Hutchinson Research Center, DLR, EADS Innovation Works, Esterel Technologies, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, Microtecnica, National Aerospace Laboratories, Onera, Safran Aircelle, Safran Labinal, Safran Turbomeca, Safran Snecma, Sener, Serms, Thales Alenia Space Italia, Universita Napoli Federico II, KHBO Aerospace, University of Manchester, University of Bristol

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
