In this paper, we present an analytical method for solving a well-posed boundary value problem of mathematical physics governing the vibration characteristics of an internal flow propelled fluid-structure interaction where the pipeline segment is idealized as an elastic hollow beam conveying an incompressible fluid on a viscoelastic foundation. The effect of Coriolis and damping forces on the o...

In this paper we present an automatic model identification tool of ABB's industrial robots. The tool has been developed entirely in Matlab and has made extensive use of the graphical-user-interface options and the objectoriented design philosophy made possible in Matlab versions 5.0 and newer. The tool is able to automatically identify rigid-body robot parameters such as inertias and Coriolis f...

Dynamics of motions on long spatial scales, that are strongly affected by rotation and stratification, is in first approximation described by the balance of buoyancy and Coriolis forces. In this regime, the dynamics is nearly two dimensional and energy flows from short to large scales. In contrast, the regime of weak stratification and rotation is dominated by viscosity and advection, and the f...

Defining the four vectors n and τ of Abramowicz’s covariant formalism of inertial forces, in terms of the lapse function α, shift vector β, the metric γij and the velocity 3-vector V , we derive the components of centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations acting on a fluid element with four velocity U. We show that while for purely radial flow the centrifugal acceleration component is zero in stati...

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...

Where r is robot, s is subject, p is robot joint angles, q is subject joint angles, I is an inertial matrix, G is a coriolis-centripetal matrix, and E and C are forces actively generated by the robot and subject respectively. Fhandle is a coupling term that represents the force that the robot and subject apply to each other. The active subject torques, called the controller, are governed by bot...

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...

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...
