Torsional locomotion
One edge of an elastic rod is inserted into a friction-less and fitting socket head, whereas the other edge is subjected to a torque, generating a uniform twisting moment. It is theoretically shown and experimentally proved that, although perfectly smooth, the constraint realizes an expulsive axial force on the elastic rod, which amount is independent of the shape of the socket head. The axial ...
متن کاملNonlinear Hysteretic Torsional Waves.
We theoretically study and experimentally report the propagation of nonlinear hysteretic torsional pulses in a vertical granular chain made of cm-scale, self-hanged magnetic beads. As predicted by contact mechanics, the torsional coupling between two beads is found to be nonlinear hysteretic. This results in a nonlinear pulse distortion essentially different from the distortion predicted by cla...
متن کاملTorsional Heterotic Geometries
We construct new examples of torsional heterotic backgrounds using duality with orientifold flux compactifications. We explain how duality provides a perturbative solution to the type I/heterotic string Bianchi identity. The choice of connection used in the Bianchi identity plays an important role in the construction. We propose the existence of a much larger landscape of compact torsional geom...
متن کاملComments on torsional testing.
Dear Editor-in-Chief, I am writing as an engineer and orthopaedic surgeon to express a few concerns about methodology for mechanical testing appearing in your journal over the years. The latest example is that by Hutcheson, et al., “Comparison of double locking plate constructs with single non-locking plate constructs in single cycle to failure in bending and torsion”, that appeared in VCOT iss...
متن کاملTorsional Vibrations of Nonhomogeneous
ABSTRACT. This paper is concerned with the torsional vibrations of a nonhomogeneous magnetostrictive elastic cylinder. The cylinder is subjected to the action of a circumferential magnetic field produced by an axial current of constant density and the deformation of a magnetostrictive cylinder is produced by a constant longitudinal magnetic field. The frequency equation is determined, and the d...
