The potential of buckling in compressive members has been considered as a disadvantage when using steel members in the construction industry. In spite of the progress made in this regard, buckling is still considered as a challenge in the analysis and design of compressive steel structural members. Such a challenging phenomenon can be controlled by strengthening of compressive members. Stiffene...

Current debates on mitigation emphasize the role of the inertia of the economic system. Our aim in this paper is to study in more depth how sectorally dif ferentiated inertia impacts on optimal CO2-emission abatement policies. Using the STARTS model, we show that optimal abatement levels and costs differ sensibly among sectors. Differential inertia is the critical determinant of this trade-off,...

We investigate three-body motion in three dimensions under the interaction potential proportional to rα (α 6= 0) or log r, where r represents the mutual distance between bodies, with the following conditions: (I) the moment of inertia is non-zero constant, (II) the angular momentum is zero, and (III) one body is on the centre of mass at an instant. We prove that the motion which satisfies condi...

In the field of virtual reality, Collision Detection Technology was widely developed for improving the performance of 3D Graphics. Following rapid growth of virtual objects with complex shapes, conventional methods perform harder to effectively detect the collision. Facing the problem, we presented a collision detection algorithm based on improved quantum particle swarm optimization. Firstly, w...

Conditions for thermodynamic stability of asymptotically anti-de Sitter rotating black holes in D-dimensions are determined. Local thermodynamic stability requires not only positivity conditions on the specific heat and the moment of inertia tensor but it is also necessary that the adiabatic compressibility be positive. It is shown that, in the absence of a cosmological constant, neither rotati...

We study the co-existence of stable patterns of synchrony in two coupled populations of identical Kuramoto oscillators with inertia. The two populations have different sizes and can split into two clusters where the oscillators synchronize within a cluster while there is a phase shift between the dynamics of the two clusters. Due to the presence of inertia, which increases the dimensionality of...

[1] Thermal inertia values at 100 m per pixel are determined using nighttime temperature data from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, producing the highest-resolution thermal inertia data set to date. THEMIS thermal inertia values have an overall accuracy of 20%, a precision of 10–15%, and are consistent with both Thermal Emission Spectrometer orbital a...

ABSTRACT Euler’s equation, that describes geodesics for a left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group associated with an inertia operator on its Lie algebra, plays an important role in mechanics. We examine the inverse problem of computing the inertia operator, up to multiplication by a constant, from a single solution of Euler’s equation. We prove that, with exactly two exceptions, every t...

This paper investigates a method for the state estimation of nonlinear systems described by a class of differentialalgebraic equation (DAE) models using the extended Kalman filter. The method involves the use of a transformation from a DAE to ordinary differential equation (ODE). A relevant dynamic power system model using decoupled techniques will be proposed. The estimation technique consists...

This paper presents a preliminary investigation on a one-degree-of-freedom programmable inertia generator. An inertia generator is a hand-held haptic device that has a programmable inertia. By moving internal masses in reaction to accelerations induced by the user, the effective intertia of the device is modified in order to render a prescribed perceived inertia. In this paper, a one-degree-of-...
