In this paper, an algorithm for suppression of the torsional oscillations, in the computer controlled servo systems, is purposed. A few modification of the IMPACT structure (Internal Model Principle and Control Together) in the digitally controlled electrical drives are proposed. The IMPACT structure suitable for suppression of the torsional oscillations in a servo system with the flexible coup...

The present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces (upper and lower half-space). Both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. The study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. The dispersion relation ...

This study proposed a prediction formula for the torsional strength enabling to reflect the tensile strength of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) beams based upon the thin-walled tube theory. The remarkable ductile behavior of UHPC can also be attributed to the steel fiber reinforcement. This feature must be considered to provide rational explanation of the torsional behavior of UHPC struc...

AIM To investigate changes in fundus excyclotorsion after inferior oblique myectomy or myotomy. METHODS The records of 21 patients undergoing strabismus surgery by a single surgeon between 2009 and 2012 were examined. Only patients who had undergone an inferior oblique myectomy or myotomy, with or without horizontal rectus muscle surgery, were evaluated. Digital fundus photographs were obtain...

Light responsive materials that exhibit wirelessly actuated, multidimensional deformation are excellent candidates for programmable matter applications such as morphing structures or soft robotics. A central challenge to designing adaptive structures from these materials is the ability accurately predict three dimensional deformations. Previous modeling efforts have focused almost exclusively o...

In this paper we investigate the dynamics and bifurcations of an oil-well drill-string model that takes the form of a neutral delay differential equation (NDDE). We consider the torsional mode of the drill-string and investigate the associated stick-slip motion. To analyse the model we develop numerical continuation routines based on Fourier-methods since existing routines based on polynomial a...

Torsional analysis of the lower extremities has become an integral part of the decision-making process in treating neuromuscular problems. Solid knowledge of normal development of torsional relationships is essential for treating musculoskeletal problems. As a prerequisite, a normal reference, meaning an objective and quantitative standard of measurement, must be available for comparison prior ...

A novel design of a MEMS torsional resonant magnetometer based on Lorentz force is presented and fabricated. The magnetometer consists of a silicon resonator, torsional beam, excitation coil, capacitance plates and glass substrate. Working in a resonant condition, the sensor's vibration amplitude is converted into the sensing capacitance change, which reflects the outside magnetic flux-density....

A ®rst step towards the development of a general, realistic potential model for per ̄uoroether compounds has been to parameterize a united atom model for a short chain per ̄uoroether per ̄uoromethylpropyl ether (CF3CF2CF2OCF3). The potential model takes the usual form in which separate bond bending and torsional terms describe the intramolecular interactions with the addition of van der Waals and ...

The paper deals with the application of neural networks for state variables estimation of the electrical drive system with an elastic joint. The torsional vibration suppression of such drive system is achieved by the application of a special control structure with a state-space controller and additional feedbacks from mechanical state variables. Signals of the torsional torque and the load-mach...
