We report the measurement of two new perpendicular (D2O)3 torsional bands by terahertz laser vibration–rotation–tunneling ~VRT! spectroscopy of a planar pulsed supersonic expansion. The first ~28.0 cm) band corresponds to the k562 ←0 transition, and is the lowest frequency vibrational spectrum observed for a water cluster. The second ~81.8 cm) band originates in the first excited torsional stat...

The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

OBJECTIVES To study the relationship between the major horizontal and minor torsional components of congenital nystagmus to elucidate the diagnostic importance, effects on vision, and pathogenetic implications of the torsional components. METHODS We recorded the eye movements of 13 subjects with congenital nystagmus using a three-dimensional magnetic search coil technique over a 15-year perio...

The present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces (upper and lower half-space). Both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. The study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. The dispersion relation ...

This study proposed a prediction formula for the torsional strength enabling to reflect the tensile strength of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) beams based upon the thin-walled tube theory. The remarkable ductile behavior of UHPC can also be attributed to the steel fiber reinforcement. This feature must be considered to provide rational explanation of the torsional behavior of UHPC struc...

The action of the bow produces torsional oscillations in a string, as well as the normal transverse motion [1]. The torsional modes have frequencies several times higher than, and not harmonically related to, the transverse modes. Via the strongly non-linear bow-string interaction, the torsional modes are driven at a harmonic of the translational modes [2]. The torsional mode frequencies for wo...

AIM To investigate changes in fundus excyclotorsion after inferior oblique myectomy or myotomy. METHODS The records of 21 patients undergoing strabismus surgery by a single surgeon between 2009 and 2012 were examined. Only patients who had undergone an inferior oblique myectomy or myotomy, with or without horizontal rectus muscle surgery, were evaluated. Digital fundus photographs were obtain...

Torsional dynamic analysis of carbon nanotubes under the effect of longitudinal magnetic field is carried out in the present study. Torque effect of an axial magnetic field on a carbon nanotube has been defined using Maxwell’s relation. Nonlocal governing equation and boundary conditions for carbon nanotubes are obtained by using Hamilton’s minimum energy principle. Eringen’s nonlocal stress gr...

Nonlinear dynamic model of the coupled lateral-torsional vibrations of a gear transmission system is developed, in which time-varying gear meshing stiffness, errors, and gaps are considered. The fundamental rules of the system’s multi-harmonic dynamic response have been obtained based on the time domain diagram, frequency domain diagram, phase plot, and Poincaré map. Therefore, estimation of th...
