A method for completely balancing the shaking forces and shaking moments in mechanisms is presented. The method introduces shaking moment balancing idler parallelogram loop (or loops) which transfers the motion of a coupler link to a shaft on the frame of the mechanism, where the rotary balancers balance the shaking moment. The complete balancing of a mechanism is accomplished by maintaining the total center of mass of the mechanism stationary meanwhile achieving that the total angular momentum of the moving links of the mechanism vanishes. Positioning of the idler loops is illustrated for a series of multiloop mechanisms. Theorems on the complete balancing of shaking forces and shaking moments in mechanisms are established. Design equations for completely balancing some single and multiloop mechanisms are given. A numerical example is included.

This study examined the biomechanical profiles of the takeoff phase of double backward somersaults in three flight positions: seven layout double backward somersaults (L), seven twisting double backward somersaults (TW), and seven tucked double backward somersaults (TDB). Selected kinematic variables and angular momenta were calculated in order to compare the differences resulting from different aerial maneuvers. The amount of total body angular momentum about the transverse axis through the gymnasts' center of mass progressively increased from TDB to TW to L. The gymnasts performing the skill in the layout position tried to minimize the angle of block in a direction opposite the intended motion by maximizing the angle of touchdown and takeoff. In so doing, the horizontal velocity center-of-mass curve of the L showed a slowly decreasing curve compared with those of the other two somersaults while the vertical velocity curve of the L increased more slowly than the other curves during the takeoff phase. In all cases the legs played the dominant role in contributing to total angular momentum during takeoff.

Abstract Presently used balancing methods for multicylinder engines and pumps are for partial balancing. As a result the complete shaking force, shaking torque, and shaking moment balancings of engines require the use of harmonic force and harmonic torque and moment balancers. This article presents a new method for complete shaking force and shaking moment balancing of multicylinder engines that requires no harmonic balancers. This is achieved by keeping the total center of mass of each slider crank loop stationary, where the design equations are developed using a linearly independent mass vector method. Balancing the shaking force also balances the shaking moment. Shaking torque is balanced by eliminating the angular momentum of each mechanism loop and by arranging the phase angles of the crank throws. Four-, six-, and eight-cylinder engines are balanced in the numerical examples given. Two methods of completely balancing single-cylinder engines are also given.

The primary objective in this work is the determination of conditions for reducing the angular momentum fluctuations (i.e., vibration) transmitted to the frame of a completely force balanced four-bar linkage. This approach leads to relatively simple design equations for determining the inertial properties of the links for good momentum balancing. The essence of this procedure is that it yields analytical results as opposed to the computer-based search techniques required by most previously published methods, which are based on reducing the shaking forces and moments rather than the momentum fluctuations. Furthermore, this method allows for off-line mass distributions (i.e., the center of mass of the link is not on the line of pivots) and, as we show in the paper, this can result in better momentum balancing than the in-line case to which most previous works have been restricted. Some numerical examples are given and the results are compared to similar results obtained by minimizing the RMS shaking moment.

A study was undertaken to investigate the changes in total body angular momentum about a transverse axis through the center of mass that occurred as the rotational requirement in the four categories of nontwisting platform dives was increased. Three skilled subjects were filmed performing dives in the pike position, with increases in rotation in each of the four categories. Angular momentum was calculated from the initiation of the dive until the diver reached the peak of his trajectory after takeoff. In all categories of dives, the constant, flight phase total body angular momentum increased as a function of rotational requirement. Increases in the angular momentum at takeoff due to increases in the rotational requirement ranged from a factor of 3.61 times in the forward category of dives to 1.52 times in the inward category. It was found that the remote contribution of angular momentum contributed from 81 to 89% of the total body angular momentum. The trunk accounted for 80 to 90% of the local contribution. In all categories of dives except the forward 1/2 pike somersault, the remote percent contribution of the arms was the largest of all segments, ranging from 38 to 74% of the total angular momentum.

We give equations of motion for the center of mass and intrinsic angular momentum of axially symmetric sources that emit gravitational radiation. This symmetry is used to uniquely define the notion of total angular momentum. The center of mass then singles out the intrinsic angular momentum of the system.

Abstract As a black hole evaporates, each outgoing Hawking quantum carries away some of the black holes asymptotic charges associated with the extended Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group. These include the Poincaré charges of energy, linear momentum, intrinsic angular momentum, and orbital angular momentum or center-of-mass charge, as well as extensions of these quantities associated with supertranslations and super-Lorentz transformations, namely supermomentum, superspin and super center-of-mass charges (also known as soft hair). Since each emitted quantum has fluctuations that are of order unity, fluctuations in the black hole’s charges grow over the course of the evaporation. We estimate the scale of these fluctuations using a simple model. The results are, in Planck units: (i) The black hole position has a uncertainty of $$ \sim {M}_i^2 $$ ∼ M i 2 at late times, where Mi is the initial mass (previously found by Page). (ii) The black hole mass M has an uncertainty of order the mass M itself at the epoch when M ∼ $$ {M}_i^{2/3} $$ M i 2 / 3 , well before the Planck scale is reached. Correspondingly, the time at which the evaporation ends has an uncertainty of order $$ \sim {M}_i^2 $$ ∼ M i 2 . (iii) The supermomentum and superspin charges are not independent but are determined from the Poincaré charges and the super center-of-mass charges. (iv) The supertranslation that characterizes the super center-of-mass charges has fluctuations at multipole orders l of order unity that are of order unity in Planck units. At large l, there is a power law spectrum of fluctuations that extends up to l ∼ $$ {M}_i^2/M $$ M i 2 / M , beyond which the fluctuations fall off exponentially, with corresponding total rms shear tensor fluctuations ∼ MiM−3/2.

Abstract We demonstrate that all rigidly rotating strings with center of mass at the origin of the dS3 static patch satisfy the Higuchi bound. This extends the observation of Noumi et al. for the open GKP-like string to all solutions of the Larsen-Sanchez class. We argue that strings violating the bound end up expanding towards the horizon and provide a numerical example. Adding point masses to the open string only increases the mass/spin ratio. For segmented strings, we write the conserved quantities, invariant under Gubser’s algebraic evolution equation, in terms of discrete lightcone coordinates describing kink collisions. Randomly generated strings are found to have a tendency to escape through the horizon that is mostly determined by their energy. For rapidly rotating segmented strings with mass/spin < 1, the kink collisions eventually become causally disconnected. Finally we consider the scenario of cosmic strings captured by a black hole in dS and find that horizon friction can make the strings longer.
