    Maintenance system is critical because if the maintenance goes well it will be able to guarantee the availability of the mechanical equipment so that the production system will running smoothly. One of the mechanical equipment that most important in the manufacturing especially in the sugar mill is the milling machine. The milling machine should always be in a condition that ready for use. In order to guarantee the availability of the machine, maintenance of a good strategy absolutely must be done. This research used MQFD method whereby this method is an integration between QFD and TPM method. According to Pramod et al., Merging the two methods are expected to improve the quality of maintenance as well as to accommodate the all costumer voices both internal customers and external customers as compared to existing methods of maintenance. The results of this study, it is known that the milling machine maintenance needs to be improved in order to improve the performance of milling machines. As the solution, the steps to be taken are Implementation of routine inspection, Train maintenance staff, Assessing and Improving awareness of the operator and machinist, Utilizing softwares to record and analyze machine components data, Execution Planned Component Replacement and cleaning the machine regularly

    Gravitational instabilities in Kerr space-times

    Full text link
    In this paper we consider the possible existence of unstable axisymmetric modes in Kerr space times, resulting from exponentially growing solutions of the Teukolsky equation. We describe a transformation that casts the radial equation that results upon separation of variables in the Teukolsky equation, in the form of a Schr\"odinger equation, and combine the properties of the solutions of this equations with some recent results on the asymptotic behaviour of spin weighted spheroidal harmonics to prove the existence of an infinite family of unstable modes. Thus we prove that the stationary region beyond a Kerr black hole inner horizon is unstable under gravitational linear perturbations. We also prove that Kerr space-time with angular momentum larger than its square mass, which has a naked singularity, is unstable.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, comments, references and calculation details added, asymptotic expansion typos fixe

    The collision of boosted black holes: second order close limit calculations

    Get PDF
    We study the head-on collision of black holes starting from unsymmetrized, Brill--Lindquist type data for black holes with non-vanishing initial linear momentum. Evolution of the initial data is carried out with the ``close limit approximation,'' in which small initial separation and momentum are assumed, and second-order perturbation theory is used. We find agreement that is remarkably good, and that in some ways improves with increasing momentum. This work extends a previous study in which second order perturbation calculations were used for momentarily stationary initial data, and another study in which linearized perturbation theory was used for initially moving holes. In addition to supplying answers about the collisions, the present work has revealed several subtle points about the use of higher order perturbation theory, points that did not arise in the previous studies. These points include issues of normalization, and of comparison with numerical simulations, and will be important to subsequent applications of approximation methods for collisions.Comment: 20 pages, RevTeX, 6 figures included with psfi

    Gravitational instability of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black holes under tensor mode perturbations

    Full text link
    We analyze the tensor mode perturbations of static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equations with a quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term in dimension D>4D > 4. We show that the evolution equations for this type of perturbations can be cast in a Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli form, and obtain the exact potential for the corresponding Schr\"odinger-like stability equation. As an immediate application we prove that for D6D \neq 6 and α>0\alpha >0, the sign choice for the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient suggested by string theory, all positive mass black holes of this type are stable. In the exceptional case D=6D =6, we find a range of parameters where positive mass asymptotically flat black holes, with regular horizon, are unstable. This feature is found also in general for α<0\alpha < 0.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, minor corrections, references adde

    Exotic spacetimes, superconducting strings with linear momentum, and (not quite) all that

    Get PDF
    We derive the general exact vacuum metrics associated with a stationary (non static), non rotating, cylindrically symmetric source. An analysis of the geometry described by these vacuum metrics shows that they contain a subfamily of metrics that, although admitting a consistent time orientation, display "exotic" properties, such as "trapping" of geodesics and closed causal curves through every point. The possibility that such spacetimes could be generated by a superconducting string, endowed with a neutral current and momentum, has recently been considered by Thatcher and Morgan. Our results, however, differ from those found by Thatcher and Morgan, and the discrepancy is explained. We also analyze the general possibility of constructing physical sources for the exotic metrics, and find that, under certain restrictions, they must always violate the dominant energy condition (DEC). We illustrate our results by explicitly analyzing the case of concentric shells, where we find that in all cases the external vacuum metric is non exotic if the matter in the shells satisfies the DEC.Comment: 13 pages with no figures.

    Photon rockets and the Robinson-Trautman geometries

    Get PDF
    We point out the relation between the photon rocket spacetimes and the Robinson Trautman geometries. This allows a discussion of the issues related to the distinction between the gravitational and matter energy radiation that appear in these metrics in a more geometrical way, taking full advantage of their asymptotic properties at null infinity to separate the Weyl and Ricci radiations, and to clearly establish their gravitational energy content. We also give the exact solution for the generalized photon rockets.Comment: 7 pages, no figures, LaTeX2

    Evolving the Bowen-York initial data for spinning black holes

    Get PDF
    The Bowen-York initial value data typically used in numerical relativity to represent spinning black hole are not those of a constant-time slice of the Kerr spacetime. If Bowen-York initial data are used for each black hole in a collision, the emitted radiation will be partially due to the ``relaxation'' of the individual holes to Kerr form. We compute this radiation by treating the geometry for a single hole as a perturbation of a Schwarzschild black hole, and by using second order perturbation theory. We discuss the extent to which Bowen-York data can be expected accurately to represent Kerr holes.Comment: 10 pages, RevTeX, 4 figures included with psfi

    Unstable fields in Kerr spacetimes

    Full text link
    We show that both the interior region r<MM2a2r<M-\sqrt{M^2-a^2} of a Kerr black hole and the a2>M2a^2>M^2 Kerr naked singularity admit unstable solutions of the Teukolsky equation for any value of the spin weight. For every harmonic number there is at least one axially symmetric mode that grows exponentially in time and decays properly in the radial directions. These can be used as Debye potentials to generate solutions for the scalar, Weyl spinor, Maxwell and linearized gravity field equations on these backgrounds, satisfying appropriate spatial boundary conditions and growing exponentially in time, as shown in detail for the Maxwell case. It is suggested that the existence of the unstable modes is related to the so called "time machine" region, where the axial Killing vector field is time-like, and the Teukolsky equation, restricted to axially symmetric fields, changes its character from hyperbolic to elliptic
