A laboratory work methodic on the experimental study of damping torsion oscillations under educational laboratory conditions was developed in this article. A torsion pendulum, which is usually used for bullet flight speed experimental determination based on angular momentum, mechanical energy conservation laws, and the laws of natural oscillations patterns, was used for this purpose. A torsion pendulum is a rod suspended on a vertically stretched steel wire and capable of performing oscillatory motion in the horizontal plane. Two rectangle shaped bodies are attached at the rod's ends, also two identical cylindrical weights that can be moved, changing the inertia moment of the pendulum, and locked in a chosen position, are arranged on the steel rod. Damping parameter dependencies are studied: the damping coefficient, damping logarithmic decrement, relaxation time, amount of oscillations during relaxation and the mechanical system quality factor against pendulum inertia moment. The least squares method was used in the processing of the experimental results. The results from this experimental study prove theoretical dependencies fidelity. The method used in this study may be recommended for physical practicum at universities when there is not a finished installation for the damping of torsional oscillations.

Purpose This study aims to understand the factors affecting the continuance usage intention (CUI) of mHealth among the rural elderly. Design/methodology/approach An integrated model was proposed with the constructs derived from multiple models such as the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, information system success model and expectation confirmation model. Data were collected from 400 participants who had prior experiences with mHealth services in Bangladesh. The research model was tested using the partial least squares method based upon structural equation modelling. Findings The findings indicated that system quality, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions and social influence were significant to the degree of confirmation and ultimately affect satisfaction and CUI. Surprisingly, service quality and information quality were insignificant. Research limitations/implications This study has added in the field of knowledge by contributing some new thoughts and interpretations of continuance usage modelling for mHealth services. The findings may become beneficial for the government agencies, policymakers, mHealth systems developers and service providers. Originality/value As limited research was found on CUI of mHealth in the integrated view of rural elderly’s value, this research contributes to the extant literature by categorizing key factors that might support to proliferate the continuance usage of this service. Moreover, the contextualization of the related variables and integration of the existing model is theoretically original. Furthermore, because of a generic approach, the findings could be easily modified to assist other developing countries in the planning and up-take of mHealth.

The low frequency vibration energy absorption properties of granular materials have been investigated on an Invert Torsion Pendulum (ITP). The energy absorption rate of granular material changes nonlinearly with amplitude under low frequency vibration. The frequency of ITP system increases a little with granular materials in the holding cup. The vibration frequency of ITP system does not change with time.
