Point Configurations That Are Asymmetric yet Balanced
نویسنده
چکیده
A configuration of particles confined to a sphere is balanced if they are in equilibrium under all force laws (that act between pairs of points with strength given by a fixed function of distance). It is straightforward to show that every sufficiently symmetrical configuration is balanced, but the converse is far from obvious. In 1957 Leech completely classified the balanced configurations in R, and his classification is equivalent to the converse for R . In this paper we disprove the converse in high dimensions. We construct several counterexamples, including one with trivial symmetry group.

Seismic Behavior of Asymmetric Two-Story X-braced Frames
Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are one of the efficient lateral load resisting systems in high seismicity regions. One of the common problems with the use of concentrically braced frames is limitation in the architectural application and position of the openings. Two-story X braced frames have more advantages than other configurations of concentrically braced frames, since in many cases th...
متن کاملLimits to human movement planning in tasks with asymmetric gain landscapes.
We studied human movement planning in a task with predefined costs and benefits to movement outcome. Participants pointed rapidly at stimulus configurations consisting of a target region and up to two penalty regions. Hits on the target and penalty regions resulted in monetary gains and losses. In previous studies involving single penalty regions or other symmetric target-penalty configurations...
متن کاملLow-Carbon Steel Sheet Asymmetric Single-Point Incremental Forming: Analysis and Optimization of the Surface Roughness (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Surface roughness (SR) has an adverse effect on the appearance of low-carbon steel parts, formed in the asymmetric incremental sheet forming (AISF) process, particularly those requiring painting operation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of AISF process parameters on the surface roughness of an asymmetric part formed on low-carbon steel sheets. The parameters are feed ra...

Abstract In this paper, general grains of solid propulsion systems such as cylindrical grains, multilateral grains and star grains are designed by new method. This method is more rapid in comparison with the others that act base on geometrical breakdown and boundary condition definition. In this method, geometrical definition point and grain production are defined and then the burning surfa...
متن کاملInfluence of Addendum Modification Factor on Root Stresses in Normal Contact Ratio Asymmetric Spur Gears
Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...
