The dynamic stability and equilibrium conditions of a parachute are studied using a six degree of freedom dynamic model that includes apparent inertia effects. Existing parachute dynamic models are discussed and the selection of a relevant model is shown. The chosen dynamic model that incorporates apparent inertia is summarized and used for analysis. The moments on the parachute system caused b...

In this paper, the control methods of brake test bench are studied. According to as much as possible consistent principle of braking process between on the test bench and road test vehicle, by controlling motor to work under certain regular current, compensate lack energy owing to the shortage of electricity, establish control model of equivalent inertia and vehicle load. At the same time, we m...

Spontaneous fission barriers, quadrupole inertia tensor, and zero-point quadrupole correlation energy are calculated for 252,256,258 Fm in the framework of the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS theory. Two ways of computing collective inertia are employed: the Gaussian Overlap Approximation to the Generator Coordinate Method and cranking ansatz. The Skyrme results are compared with those ...

Rovers operating on Mars have been delayed, diverted, and trapped by loose granular materials. Vision-based mobility prediction approaches often fail because hazardous sand is difficult to distinguish from safe sand based on surface appearance alone. Unlike surface appearance, the thermal inertia of terrain is directly correlated to the same geophysical properties that control slip. This paper ...

Future space systems will require high robustness of the control system as well as high performance because of their two major features: lightly damped structural dynamics; and nonlinear inertia properties induced by the large motion of articulating sensor heads and antennas. Effective robust control design techniques are needed to satisfy the performance requirements of future space systems in...

Spontaneous fission barriers, quadrupole inertia, and zero-point quadrupole-energy corrections are calculated for 252,256,258 Fm in the framework of the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS theory. Two ways of computing dynamical inertia are employed: the Gaussian Overlap Approximation to the Generator Coordinate Method and crank-ing ansatz. The Skyrme results are compared with those of the ...

Topographical effect was considered in the context of bare soil moisture assessment. Soil moisture was evaluated using thermal inertia modelling. As an input data in thermal inertia model, the images in visible and thermal infrared range are required. Two own programs were worked out modi for thermal inertia modelling and topo – for topographical effect removal. Standard GIS software can have a...

—Converter-interfaced power sources (CIPSs), like wind turbine and energy storage, can be switched to the inertia emulation mode when the detected frequency deviation exceeds a pre-designed threshold, i.e. dead band, to support the frequency response of a power grid. This letter proposes an approach to derive the emulated inertia and damping from a CIPS based on the linearized model of the CIPS...
