in this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (tmm). the effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

Because the force required to rotate a body about an axis is directly proportional to its rotational inertia about the axis, it is likely that animals with high rotational inertia would be constrained in their turning abilities. Given that rotational inertia scales with mass(1.67) in geometrically similar animals, whereas the ability to apply torque scales with mass(1.00), larger animals would ...

The turning agility of theropod dinosaurs may have been severely limited by the large rotational inertia of their horizontal trunks and tails. Bodies with mass distributed far from the axis of rotation have much greater rotational inertia than bodies with the same mass distributed close to the axis of rotation. In this study, we increased the rotational inertia about the vertical axis of human ...

When executing turning maneuvers, manual wheelchair users must overcome the rotational inertia of the wheelchair system. Differences in wheelchair rotational inertia can result in increases in torque required to maneuver, resulting in greater propulsion effort and stress on the shoulder joints. The inertias of various configurations of an ultralightweight wheelchair were measured using a rotati...

The rotational inertia of an animal can be expected to influence directly its ability to execute rapid turning maneuvers. We hypothesized that a ninefold increase in rotational inertia would reduce maximum turning performance to one-ninth of control values. To test this prediction, we increased rotational inertia about the vertical axis of six human subjects and measured their ability to turn d...

the ground state rotational bands of some rare earth nuclei show a rather strange behaviour at large values of angular momenta. the nuclear moment of inertia teta increases smoothly with angular momentum i up to i=12. then at about i=14 there is a sudden increase in the moment of inertia. the plot of teta versus the square of the angular velocity w gives a s-shaped curve. we attempt here to rep...

Large-scale deployment of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) has led to significant generation shares of variable RES in power systems worldwide. RES units, notably inverterconnected wind turbines and photovoltaics (PV) that as such do not provide rotational inertia, are effectively displacing conventional generators and their rotating machinery. The traditional assumption that grid inertia is suff...
