A new method is introduced to study three-body clusters. Triangular configurations with D 3h point-group symmetry are analyzed. The spectrum, transition form factors and B(Eλ) values of 12 C are investigated. It is concluded that the low-lying spectrum of 12 C can be described by three alpha-particles at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, but not as a rigid structure. Large rotation-vibra...

Using the generalised set of fluid equations that include the ‘Coriolis force’ along with the centrifugal and pressure gradient forces, we have reanalysed the class of self similar solutions, with the pseudo-Newtonian potential. We find that the class of solutions is well behaved for almost the entire parameter space except for a few selected combinations of γ and α for the co-rotating flow. Th...

The large-scale features favoring tropical cyclogenesis and development are low vertical wind shear, below normal sea-level pressure and abnormally warm ocean temperatures. High wind shear is thought to inhibit development by preventing cumulonimbus condensation from collecting into a distinct heat source at the core of a disturbance. Also, it shears the initially delicate pattern of circulatio...

By exploiting centrifugal and Coriolis forces, simple, lowdegree-of-freedom robots can control objects with more degrees-of-freedom. For example, by allowing the object to roll and slip, a one-degree-of-freedom revolute robot can take a planar object to a full-dimensional subset of its state space. We present a dynamic manipulationplanner that finds manipulator trajectories to move an object fr...

A walker is a classical self-propelled wave particle association moving on a fluid interface. Two walkers can interact via their waves and form orbiting bound states with quantized diameters. Here we probe the behavior of these bound states when setting the underlying bath in rotation. We show that the bound states are driven by the wave interaction between the walkers and we observe a level sp...

Four prototypes of biomimetic sensors have been designed and implemented for flight control of a robotic flying insect. The ocelli use four photodiodes to detect changes in light intensity in the surrounding. The halteres use piezoactuated vibrating structures to sense body rotational velocities via the Coriolis forces. The optic flow sensors consist of linear arrays of elementary motion detect...

Many mechanical and structural systems respond dynamically to random environmental loads, such as wind, wave or earthquake forces. Examples include flexible buildings vibrating due to turbulent wind loading and offshore structures moving as a result of combining wave and wind loading. To assess the reliability of such structures it is important to predict their dynamic response, at the design s...

The mathematical models for the top motions in known publications contain incorrect expression of centrifugal torque and do not consider action Coriolis generated by center mass. In reality, two torques, torques forces, changes angular momentums formulate dependency velocities about axes. corrected mass changed motion its self-stabilization. new analytical approach spinning with all external in...

We investigate both experimentally and theoretically disorderinduced damping of Bloch oscillations of Bose–Einstein condensates in optical lattices. The spatially inhomogeneous force responsible for the damping is realized by a combination of a disordered optical and a magnetic gradient potential. We show that the inhomogeneity of this force results in a broadening of the quasimomentum spectrum...
