This paper discusses experiments done as a class assignment in a Dynamics course in order to investigate the relation between the duration of a linear impulse and the energy dissipated during impact. After analysis had been presented in lecture on the relation between work and energy and on the connection between linear impulse and linear momentum, a series of distinct but related projects was ...

The dissipated spaces form a class of compacta which contains both the scattered compacta and the compact LOTSes (linearly ordered topological spaces), and a number of theorems true for these latter two classes are true more generally for the dissipated spaces. For example, every regular Borel measure on a dissipated space is separable. A product of two compact LOTSes is usually not dissipated,...

The viscoelastic effect of rubber material on creation of rolling resistance is responsible for 10-33% dissipation of supplied power at the tire/road interaction surface. So, evaluating this kind of loss is very essential in any analysis concerned with energy saving. The transient dynamic analysis for including the rolling effects of the tire requires long CPU time and the obtained results are ...
