Rotational propulsion enabled by inertia.
The fluid mechanics of small-scale locomotion has recently attracted considerable attention, due to its importance in cell motility and the design of artificial micro-swimmers for biomedical applications. Most studies on the topic consider the ideal limit of zero Reynolds number. In this paper, we investigate a simple propulsion mechanism --an up-down asymmetric dumbbell rotating about its axis...
متن کاملInfluence of rotational inertia on turning performance of theropod dinosaurs: clues from humans with increased rotational inertia.
The turning agility of theropod dinosaurs may have been severely limited by the large rotational inertia of their horizontal trunks and tails. Bodies with mass distributed far from the axis of rotation have much greater rotational inertia than bodies with the same mass distributed close to the axis of rotation. In this study, we increased the rotational inertia about the vertical axis of human ...
متن کاملSeismic Protection Design of Nonlinear Structures Using Hybrid Simulation
Seismic protective devices in the form of isolation and supplemental damping devices can be effective means in mitigating the seismic responses of structures. The required stiffness and damping values to achieve optimal performance depend on the characteristics of structures and ground motions. Instead of using actively controlled devices, one can select the passive devices to roughly mimic the...
متن کاملClassical rotational inertia of solid 4He.
The observation of reduced rotational inertia in a cell containing solid 4He has been interpreted as evidence for superfluidity of the solid. We propose an alternative explanation: slippage of the solid, due to grain boundary premelting between the solid and dense adsorbed layers at the container wall. We calculate the range of film thickness, and determine the viscosity that will account for t...
