Director of Accounting, Pod Leader Remote Salt Lake City, UT Propeller Industries

Anyone in business knows how never-ending a to-do list can be, andhow sudden demands can distract from them. Propel Her is dedicated to keeping female leaders on track byhaving someone check in with them monthly. She hasn’t forgotten how isolating the early stages of starting a business were for her.

In addition, by examining the effect of a large number of electric, magnetic, flow Mach number, geometric and acoustic parameters, recommendations are made to effectively optimize similar structures that benefit from such materials. One of the important findings of this study is that applying electric and magnetic fields in the low frequency band improves the sound transmission loss. Therefore, the magneto-electro-elastic patches can be used in active structural acoustic control approaches as actuators. Our Accounting Managers work closely with our broader Accounting Team, Finance Directors and CFOs, as well as others at Propeller, to manage client relationships, to oversee the preparation of monthly financials and reporting, and to develop and implement accounting policies, procedures and controls for our clients. This includes leading teams of accountants to provide weekly, monthly and year-end accounting activities.

She is a well-balanced business owner, Mum to a newborn, wife, sister, and passionate advocate for building the business and life her clients deserve. Katie Bryan is the CEO and Founder of Propeller Advisory—a successful multi-figure accounting and business advisory firm based in Melbourne, Australia.

In this episode, Stuart and Katie discuss the accounting industry, the story of Propeller Advisory, and what made Katie open a venture to inspire women business owners.

The other two, a trailing edge with boundary layer vortex generators and a trailing edge with rounded serrations cut into the blade, both introduce streamwise vorticity in the wake of the hydrofoil, as shown by particle image velocimetry measurements. The trailing edge of the hydrofoil is made exchangeable, so that a direct comparison of the strain intensity levels measured with a structurally embedded strain gauge bridge located close to the trailing edge can be made. The results indicate that the vortex generators are effective at mitigating the lock-in state of resonance and significantly reduces the maximum strain intensity measured, compared to the more conventional reference design. Velocity measurements both at lock-off conditions as well as close to resonance reveal a de-correlation of the streamwise velocity fluctuations in the wake for this design, suggesting that the von Kármán type vortex shedding is weakened even at resonance conditions.

Noise generation by turbulence-propeller interaction in asymmetric flow

First, the transfer matrix method for a cascaded lumped-parameter system is introduced to treat the wave dynamics of the target system. Next, an active wave diode is presented for the target system, and its control effect is investigated numerically. However, this method caused new resonant phenomena in the uncontrolled region.

This model was extended to apply to contra-rotating open rotors operating in an asymmetric mean-flow by Robison and Robison & Peake . In these methods, the mean-flow is modelled using actuator disc theory – which captures the streamtube contraction induced by the rotor. The velocity field calculated using actuator disc theory is used to calculate the turbulent inflow at the rotor face using rapid distortion theory.

The utilized patches are controlled via an electric field, indicating the smart nature of the structure. The Power-law model is adopted to calculate the effective mechanical properties of the functionally graded core layer. After defining proper boundary conditions, the vibroacoustic equations are obtained with the aid of Hamilton’s principle. A comprehensive validation study is also conducted to show the reliability of the developed formulation.

In this paper, a sales journal is presented for predicting the noise generated by the interaction of atmospheric turbulence with a shrouded propeller. The model proposed is equivalent to the turbulent inflow noise model of an unshrouded propeller presented by Robison and Robison & Peake , however it has been extended to account for the effect of the shroud. Unlike that model we have assumed that the blade chord-length is acoustically compact and have used isolated blade response functions to calculate the blade loading. These approximations are generally valid for the small propellers investigated in this study which typically have low blade numbers and should result in significant reductions in computational cost. The model incorporates a method to account for the effect of the shroud on the mean-flow induced by the propeller, and the acoustic scattering effect of the shroud.

This is because the pinna converts airborne sound into mechanical vibrations, which propagate through body tissues to the occluded ear canal. To better understand the propagation pathways and mechanisms, which remain unclear, we simulated a preliminary two-dimensional transient model of the external ear in COMSOL Multiphysics. It shed light on how the waves travel through the tissues to reach the occluded ear canal, illustrating phenomena that are usually not visible experimentally. We also conducted an experimental evaluation of the time delay of wave propagation between the external ear tissues and the auditory canal air to confirm the numerical observations. Thus, we measured delays to reach the ear canal during stimulation with a transducer at the back of the concha and at the tragus of 0.37 ms and 0.32 ms respectively. This matched the numerical simulations and corroborated transmission through the skin.

Technology, including Karbon, didn’t just help with Propeller’s early stages—it enabled the firm to pursue a remote working environment. But the pandemic allowed Katie and her firm to focus on building relationships with their clients and supporting them. Propeller was in frequent contact with its clients, checking in to offer help. Through her coaching business, Propel Her, Katie provides education and support to other female business owners by offering monthly accountability. Katie Bryan, founder and CEO of Propeller Advisory, is a passionate advocate for career flexibility.

The acoustic radiation model incorporates a tailored Green’s function which accounts for the scattering of the sound by the shroud, which is modelled acoustically as a rigid, axisymmetric body of revolution with arbitrary cross-sectional shape. The effect of the free-stream velocity on the width and level of the peaks in the radiated noise spectrum at the blade passing frequency and its harmonics is investigated. The effect of the shroud on the directivity of the noise is also investigated.

• Secondly, the effect of the duct on the acoustic radiation was accounted for using an approximate correction method which related the sound power radiated from a ducted fan to that radiated from an open rotor operating in identical conditions.
• The velocity field calculated using actuator disc theory is used to calculate the turbulent inflow at the rotor face using rapid distortion theory.
• The results indicate that the vortex generators are effective at mitigating the lock-in state of resonance and significantly reduces the maximum strain intensity measured, compared to the more conventional reference design.

A novel vibration control methodology for a cascaded lumped-parameter system based on active wave control is presented herein. The purpose of this study is to establish wave-trapping control using opposed active wave diodes, which are feedback control systems that use the amplitude of the incident wave as a feedback signal.

A de-correlation of the streamwise velocity fluctuations in the wake of the serrated trailing edge is also observed at lock-off conditions, but the vortex shedding appear to become gradually more coherent, as well as strengthened, for this design as the foil vibrations increase closer to resonance. Magneto-electro-elastic materials offers the inherent capability of energy transformation from one type to another, hence making them suitable for improving the vibroacoustic behavior of the structures. The current article is an analytical investigation into the sound transmission characteristics of a smart functionally graded cylindrical shell equipped with magneto-electro-elastic patches while a steady fluid flow exists outside of the cylinder. The complete set of equations of motion are derived after accounting for all components of displacement according to the first-order shear deformation theory.

The shroud must be axisymmetric but can have an arbitrary cross-sectional profile. The interaction of turbulence with the rotating blades of a propeller can produce significant levels of noise – particularly when the propeller operates in a flow with a low free-stream velocity. This noise is generated by the unsteady loading on the blades produced by their interaction with the incoming turbulence. One of the sources of this turbulent inflow is the naturally occurring turbulence in the atmosphere. As this turbulent air is sucked towards the propeller, the turbulent eddies become elongated such that a single eddy interacts multiple times with the propeller blades over several propeller revolutions. This causes correlated loading between corresponding points on each propeller blade and results in a radiated noise spectrum which has a sharp peak at the blade passing frequency and its harmonics.

From humble beginnings to massive success, Katie is proud of her firm’s growth. She’s also thankful for how technology has transformed the accounting industry—in particular, by lowering the barrier for entry and creating a new level of flexibility for business owners.
