A contact version of a Laudenbach's engulfing theorem is proved. Some properties of the notions of contact displacement energy and contact Hofer–Zehnder capacities are presented and, under the condition of existence of a modified action selector on a contact manifold, we can prove some inequalities involving these invariants. These inequalities are similar to the ones obtained by Frauenfelder, Ginzburg and Schlenk, in the symplectic case.

In this study, a compound speckle interferometer for measuring three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) displacement is proposed. The system, which combines heterodyne interferometry, speckle interferometry and beam splitting techniques, can perform precision 3-DOF displacement measurements, while still having the advantages of high resolution and a relatively simple configuration. The incorporation of speckle interferometry allows for non-contact displacement measurements by detecting the phase of the speckle interference pattern formed from the convergence of laser beams on the measured rough surface. Experiments were conducted to verify the measurement capabilities of the system, and the results show that the proposed system has excellent measurement capabilities suitable for future real-world applications.

Both general and particular aspects of the application of electronic instrumentation in internal combustion engine development are discussed, and the work which has been carried out in the authors' establishment on instrumentation for dynamic measurements on the piston assembly is described, in particular, measurements of engine noise and vibration, and of displacement and temperature during operation, using telemetry systems, and making use of both radio and mechanical linkage techniques. The development of a new type of sub-miniature inductive transducer for non-contact displacement measurement under the extreme conditions inside a working piston is described, and the reasons making its development necessary discussed. Results obtained from a working engine showing piston movements as measured by several inductive transducers and transmitted over the linkage system are shown and compared to block vibration recordings made simultaneously; an initial interpretation of the very recent results is made. Finally, electronic methods developed for the static measurement of piston and ring properties are described and the results obtained discussed.

In this study a three-dimensional transient dynamic contact problem is solved, and a theorem relating the contact stress and displacement over an elliptic region is proved. Numerical results for the contact displacement-time variation clearly demonstrate the effect of inertia induced by the dynamic stress.

AbstractRecently [8], a harmonic theory was developed for a compact contact manifold from the viewpoint of the transversal geometry of contact flow. A contact flow is a typical example of geodesible flow. As a natural generalization of the contact flow, the present paper develops a harmonic theory for various flows on compact manifolds. We introduce the notions of H-harmonic and H*-harmonic spaces associated to a Hörmander flow. We also introduce the notions of basic harmonic spaces associated to a weak basic flow. One of our main results is to show that in the special case of isometric flow these harmonic spaces are isomorphic to the cohomology spaces of certain complexes. Moreover, we find an obstruction for a geodesible flow to be isometric.

AbstractChern and Hamilton considered the integral of the Webster scalar curvature as a functional on the set of CR-structures on a compact 3-dimensional contact manifold. Critical points of this functional can be viewed as Riemannian metrics associated to the contact structure for which the characteristic vector field generates a 1-parameter group of isometries i.e. K-contact metrics. Tanno defined a higher dimensional generalization of the Webster scalar curvature, computed the critical point condition of the corresponding integral functional and found that it is not the K-contact condition. In this paper two other generalizations are given and the critical point conditions of the corresponding integral functionals are found. For the second of these, this is the K-contact condition, suggesting that it may be the proper generalization of the Webster scalar curvature.
