Whirling prediction with geometrical shaft profiling

The Influence of Plain Bearings on Shaft Whirling

Affective Modelling: Profiling Geometrical Models with Human Emotional Responses

In this paper, a novel concept, Affective Modelling, is introduced to encapsulate the idea of creating 3D models based on the emotional responses that they may invoke. Research on perceptually-related issues in Computer Graphics focuses mostly on the rendering aspect. Low-level perceptual criteria taken from established Psychology theories or identified by purposefully-designed experiments are ...

Prediction of protein flexibility from geometrical constraints

quency motions, the so called "essential" degrees of freedom [1, 2], which typically appear in timescales of nanoseconds to microseconds and play important roles in signalling, activation and enzyme function. Despite the rapid growth of computer power these timescales are not accessible with current molecular dynamic simulations systems. The CONCOORD system attempts to alleviate this sampling p...

Whirling skirts and rotating cones

Steady, dihedrally symmetric patterns with sharp peaks may be observed on a spinning skirt, lagging behind the material flow of the fabric. These qualitative features are captured with a minimal model of traveling waves on an inextensible, flexible, generalized-conical sheet rotating about a fixed axis. Conservation laws are used to reduce the dynamics to a quadrature describing a particle in a...
