This study examined the effect of the polar moment of inertia of a tennis racket on upper limb loading in the serve. Eight amateur competition tennis players performed two sets of 10 serves using two rackets identical in mass, position of center of mass and moments of inertia other than the polar moment of inertia (0.00152 vs 0.00197 kg.m2). An eight-camera motion analysis system collected the ...

In the article, mechanical and electromechanical starting characteristics of an asynchronous electric drive a two-piston ship compressor are investigated by numerical method. A distinctive feature operation reciprocating is that its load torque changes with certain frequency. The dependence on shaft piston angle rotation presented in form Fourier series. Moments inertia reduced to single system...

Observers are widely used to generate residuals for fault diagnosis processes. However the generated residuals are not only influenced by faults but also by disturbances and model uncertainties. In order to avoid false alarm and achieve a high fault detection rate disturbances and model uncertainties have to be considered in the fault detection and isolation (FDI) processes. In rotor systems th...

In this paper energy method is used to calculate rotor response with loose rotating disk on it. System equation of motion is obtained based on energy method and Lagrange equation. Mathematical modeling of loose disk in a rotor bearing system has resulted in terms similar to unbalance and gyroscopic effect in the system equation of motion. The effect of loose disk axial position and orthotropic ...

We consider principal moments of inertia of axisymmetric, magnetically deformed stars in the context of general relativity. The general expression for the moment of inertia with respect to the symmetric axis is obtained. The numerical estimates are derived for several polytropic stellar models. We find that the values of the principal moments of inertia are modified by a factor of 2 at most fro...

The interaction of work fluid mechanics with that of the rotary system itself, basically composed of axes, bearings and rotors, is performed by inserting equivalent dynamic coefficients in the mathematical model of the rotor, the latter being obtained by the finite element method. In this paper, the dynamic coefficients of inertia, stiffness and damping of the flat seals analyzed here are evalu...

This paper features an efficient method of performing the shape analysis of objects in a binary image using a technique called as the moments. Using these moments, we can compute the centroid, moment of inertia, principal angle, orientation of the captured objects in the image. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the developed method. Index Terms — Moments, Invariance, Centroid, Mo...

Abstract We investigate the dynamics of bodies with vector-type microstructure. consider linear constitutive relations and a nonlinear coupling between macroscopic microscopic motions, determined by gyroscopic-type inertia. Based on an existence result obtained in presence viscous-type stress components, we determine global attractor; its weak nature derives from lack uniqueness coupling.
