We study the evolution inside a harmonic trap of Bose-Einstein condensates released from the periodic potential of an optical lattice. After a time-of-flight, harmonic motion of the interference peaks is observed as well as a breathing motion in the direction perpendicular to the optical lattice. We interpret these results in terms of a simple physical model and discuss the possibility of more ...

The benefits of applying multiple alternatives for mock-up and compression of helicopter harmonic motion are analyzed. Multiple mock-up approaches, along with a weighted-average mechanism, are approximated so that quicksand affiliated with only applying alone better alternate for the rotor blade vibration-reduction dilemma are bypassed. A harmonic motion external function matching to a flight c...

Visual motion is sensed by low-level (energy-based) and high-level (feature-based) mechanisms. Ocular following responses (OFR) were elicited in humans by applying horizontal motion to vertical square-wave gratings lacking the fundamental ("missing fundamental stimulus"). Motion consisted of successive 1/4-wavelength steps, so the features and 4n+1 harmonics (where n=integer) shifted forwards, ...

this deals with the harmonic forced vibration of a circular plate surface bonded by two piezoelectric layers, based on the kirchhoff plate model. the form of electric potential field in the piezoelectric layer is assumed such that the maxwell static electricity equation is satisfied. the differential equations of motion are solved analytically for clamped edge boundary condition of the plate. t...

Motion discontinuities arise when there are occlusions or multiple moving objects in the scene that is imaged. Conventional regularization techniques use smoothness constraints but are not applicable to motion discontinuities. In this paper, we show that discontinuous (or multiple) motion estimation can be viewed as a multicomponent harmonic retrieval problem. From this viewpoint, a number of e...

This study targets the behavior of shear buildings equipped with tuned liquid column dampers (TLCD) which attenuate dynamic load-induced vibrations. TLCDs are a passive damping system used in tall buildings. This kind of damper has proven to be very efficient, being an excellent alternative to mass dampers. A dynamic analysis of the structure-damper system was made using the software DynaPy, de...
