On the Influence of Friction on the Motion of a Top
نویسنده
چکیده
synopsis A simple calculation gives, to a first approximation, the ,influence of sliding friction on the motion of a top, spinning on a horizontal plane. For a spherical body with axially symmetric mass distribution two effect are found : 1. The centre of gravity will be lifted if it lies eccentric in the sphere; 2. the axis with the greatest moment of inertia moves towards the vertical, if the principal momenta are unequal. The equilibrium condition for the combination of the two effects is derived. The rising of the tippe top is ascribed to sliding friction. An ordinary top, describing its common regular precession, will usually roll; rolling friction contributes to the rising of the top.

A Low Friction Demanding Approach in Gait Planning for Humanoid Robots During 3D Manoeuvres
This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...

Friction stir welding was conducted on AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel sheet with dimensions of 100 mm × 100 mm × 2 mm. The FSW was performed at a welding speed of 150 mm/min and rotational speeds of 400 and 800 rpm. The results showed that high frequency of low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) were formed through dynamic recovery in the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ). Higher amoun...
