Abstract To get a variable inertia effect for vibration reduction, a semiactive damper using a flywheel filled by MR fluid was developed. The damper comprises a ball screw mechanism and the flywheel, which is able to change a moment of inertia. MR fluid is filled into the flywheel. Particles are clustered at outer circumference edge inside the wheel when the magnetic field is applied to the wheel edge, so the moment of inertia on the flywheel can be changed artificially. The prototype device was manufactured, and the dynamic performance was investigated. Finally the changeable inertia effect was confirmed experimentally.

Abstract. The majority of scientific satellites investigating the Earth magnetosphere are spin stabilized. The attitude information comes usually from a sun sensor and is missing in the umbra; hence, the accurate experimental determination of vector quantities is not possible during eclipses. The spin period of the spacecraft is generally not constant during these times because the moment of inertia changes due to heat dissipation. The temperature dependence of the moment of inertia for each spacecraft has a specific signature determined by its design and distribution of mass. We developed an "eclipse-spin" model for the spacecraft spin period behaviour using magnetic field vector measurements close to the Earth, where the magnetic field is dominated by the dipole field, and in the magnetospheric lobes, where the magnetic field direction is mostly constant. The modelled spin periods give us extraordinarily good results with accumulated phase deviations over one hour of less than 10 degrees. Using the eclipse spin model satellite experiments depending on correct spin phase information can deliver science data even during eclipses. Two applications for THEMIS B, one in the lobe and the other in the lunar wake, are presented.

Abstract The 14N quadrupole relaxation time in pure DMF is by 9% longer than in pure DMF-d7, showing the dependence of the reorientational molecular motion on the square root of the moment of inertia. But for traces of DMF and DMF-d7 in DMSO, the 14N quadrupole relaxation time tends to obey the "square-root-of-the-reduced-mass law", as expected from the kinetic theory of dense fluids. The vanishing of the moment-of-inertia effect on the intramolecular nuclear quadrupole relaxation is discussed in terms of molecular translation-rotation coupling.

The moment of inertia of a plane lamina about any axis not in this plane can be easily calculated if the moments of inertia about two mutually perpendicular axes in the plane are known. Then one can conclude that the moments of inertia of regular polygons and polyhedra have symmetry about a line or point, respectively, about their centres of mass. Furthermore, the moment of inertia about the apex of a right pyramid with a regular polygon base is dependent only on the angle the axis makes with the altitude. From this last statement, the calculation of the centre of mass moments of inertia of polyhedra becomes very easy.

A torsional vibration model of the slewing mechanism of a hydraulic excavator is developed to predict its free vibration characteristics with consideration of many fundamental factors, such as the mesh stiffness of gear pairs, the coupling relationship of a two stage planetary gear trains and the variety of moment of inertia of the input end caused by the motion of work equipment. The natural frequencies are solved using the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Taking the moment of inertia of the input end for example to illustrate the relationship between the natural frequencies of the slewing mechanism and its parameters, based on the simulation results, just the first order frequency varies significantly with the moment of inertia of the input end of the slewing mechanism.

The control of permanent magnet synchronous motor has become an important research, and many control methods have been developed because of its high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics. This article proposes a new motor control approach based on synergetic approach in control theory (SACT) and sliding-mode control (SMC). Since the load torque of the motor will change, the moment of inertia will increase in the experiment. The load torque is estimated by the sliding-mode observer. The moment of inertia is calculated by the least squares method by adding a forgetting factor. The practical application of synergetic control theory broadens the train of thought to meet the demand of high-performance motor drive further. The simulation and experimental results show that this control scheme in this article can improve the transient response and system robustness of dynamic systems.
