In 1687, Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727) produced his famous and important work Principia , based on the experiments and analyses of Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642). In this work he proposed three main laws. The fi rst was the law of inertia . He used the term inertia for the property of matter that causes it to resist a change in its state of motion. Inertia of an object must be overcome to set it in...

The converter valve is the core equipment of DC distribution systems. This paper proposes an autonomous control strategy for grid-connected and islanded operation hybrid topology modular multilevel (MMC). overall structure designed, including outer loop inner current loop. Firstly, loop, it proposed to use equivalent capacitance storage energy MMC power module simulate inertia synchronous gener...

Although molecular and physical mechanisms of fibroblast matrix assembly have been widely investigated, the role of adhesive ligand presentation on matrix assembly has only been recently probed (Pereira et al. Tissue Eng., 2007). In the present study, various-sized albumin-derived nanocarriers (ANCs) were fabricated as nanoscale organization units for functionalization with the cell adhesion do...

Because the force required to rotate a body about an axis is directly proportional to its rotational inertia about the axis, it is likely that animals with high rotational inertia would be constrained in their turning abilities. Given that rotational inertia scales with mass(1.67) in geometrically similar animals, whereas the ability to apply torque scales with mass(1.00), larger animals would ...

BACKGROUND Human balance during quiet standing is influenced by adding mass to the body with a backpack, with symmetrically-applied loads to the trunk, or with obesity. Adding mass to the body increases both the weight and inertia of the body, which theoretically could provide counteracting effects on body dynamics and balance. Understanding the independent effects of adding weight and inertia ...

Wheel force transducer (WFT), which measures the three-axis forces and three-axis torques applied to the wheel, is an important instrument in the vehicle testing field and has been extremely promoted by researchers with great interests. The transducer, however, is typically mounted on the wheel of a moving vehicle, especially on a high speed car, when abruptly accelerating or braking, the mass/...

Abstract The multibody system transfer matrix method (MSTMM), a novel dynamics approach developed during the past three decades, has several advantages compared to conventional methods. Some of these include avoiding global equations with inertia matrix, utilizing low‐order matrices independent degree freedom, high computational speed, and simplicity computer implementation. MSTMM been widely u...

I argue that, according to ordinary morality, there is moral inertia, that is, moral pressure to fail to intervene in certain circumstances. Moral inertia is manifested in scenarios with a particular causal structure: deflection scenarios, where a threatening or benefiting process is diverted from a group of people to another. I explain why the deflection structure is essential for moral inerti...

Although much research on customer behaviors has demonstrated the positive role of inertia in the action loyalty phase, previous studies on inertia still emphasize the spurious dimension of customer loyalty. This study seeks to analyze how inertia varies with differing levels of alternative attractiveness, relationship length, and commitment in affecting customer loyalty. The results suggest th...
