in the present research, susceptibility of two strawberry cultivars (selva and gavita) to bruising was studied. individual fruits were subjected to impact and compressive forces. impact forces were applied through dropping the fruits from predetermined heights as well as pendulum. bruising volume was considered as damage index. in both methods bruising severity was increased as a function of im...

The study reveals specific ways of expressing the passage time in story "Live and Remember" by Valentin Rasputin. is aimed at demonstrating how development plot, dialectic relationships between memory oblivion, as well fluctuations heroes’ memories – all create image a pendulum. applied methodology involved linguostylistic analysis text. author identifies linguistic means that help writer to dr...

In this article we discuss the primliminary results of stabilising a vertically driven pendulum. Following the brief introduction on the importance of this ‘toy’ problem, we give an account of the experimental set up. We then explain the parameter extraction from the experimental data which form a cucial part of our quantitative study. We also find the stability boundary for a small range of dr...

The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a complete control strategy for the classical and rotary single inverted pendulum system. The design, which involves swing-up and stabilization of both systems, is based on function blocks and GUI tools from the Inverted Pendula Modeling and Control, a Simulink block library developed by the author of the paper. Keywords—classical single inv...

The basic adiabatic theorems of classical and quantum mechanics are overviewed and an adiabatic theorem in quantum mechanics without a gap condition is described. 1 Classical Adiabatic Invariants Consider a (mathematical) pendulum whose period is slowly modulated, for example by shortening the length of the pendulum, fig 1, [1, 18]. Figure 1: An adiabatic pendulum The Hamiltonian describing the...

I. PROBLEM FORMULATION The Furuta pendulum consists of an arm rotating in the horizontal plane and a pendulum attached to the end of the arm moving freely in the vertical plane, see Fig. 1. The equations of motion of the Furuta pendulum, derived from the standard Euler-Lagrange dynamics, are1 (α + β sin θ)φ̈ + γ cos θθ̈ + 2βθ̇φ̇ sin θ cos θ − γθ̇ sin θ = τφ, γ cos θφ̈ + βθ̈ − βφ̇ sin θ cos θ − δ sin θ ...

Student-Friendly Precision Pendulum Germany (latitude 52 N → 981,274) in the early part of this century. With the information provided in this article, students should be able to easily measure the gravitational field strength to a few parts in 10,000, a degree of precision one to two orders of magnitude better than can be achieved with the usual simple pendulum under comparable conditions. The...

Properties of simple strategies for swinging up an inverted pendulum are discussed. It is shown that the behavior critically depends on the ratio of the maximum acceleration of the pivot to the acceleration of gravity. A comparison of energy-based strategies with minimum time strategy gives interesting insights into the robustness of minimum time solutions. ! 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All righ...

Periodic motion involving a swinging pendulum was studied. As the pendulum oscillated, its motion was captured using video and computer technology. When analyzed, the period of the motion was found to be given by two multiplied by Pi multiplied by the square root of the quantity of the pendulum’s length divided by the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the period, or time to complete a ful...

A 16-year-old Class II female patient was treated without tooth extraction. The upper first molars were distalized by the Pendulum appliance. After six months, the molars tipped significantly to the distal. To correct this side effect, we decided to upright the molars using skeletal anchorage. On each side, a mini-screw was inserted between first and second premolars in the buccal cortical plat...
