Since former definition of work done by any radial/center-bound (central) force field (and consequently thus also of the corresponding to it expense of potential energy of the field) was incompletely defined (so that these two basic notions were valid only for purely radial phenomena), some indirect estimations of those linear magnitudes that relied on the former (incomplete yet always presumed as total) potential energy may have been overestimated. New, operationally complete and thus mathematically lawful definition of total rate of work done by the field implies presence of a certain (experimentally observed but formerly quite unanticipated and thus routinely unaccounted for) nonradial angular contribution to the total potential energy. Hence some previous calculations of those linear magnitudes, which were indirectly estimated via expense of potential energy spent on the work done, may have been quite inadvertently overrated by over 3.48 %. This was because the extra potential energy that is spent on twisting the path that is deflected by the source of the field was disregarded in the former, incomplete definition of work done, even though such nonradial twisting is generally required by proven Frenet-Serret formulas of differential geometry. This present assessment is based upon purely mathematical premises, but similar prior nonradial angular formula utilized here has already retrodicted the 10.56 % excess over Einstein‟s prediction of deflection of light that was observed in several unbiased experiments, and it has reconciled some other experiments that could neither be explained nor reconciled by general theory of relativity, which, as radial by design, does not account for nonradial or mixed phenomena

Quantum tunneling of noncommutative geometry gives the definition of time in the form of holography, that is, in the form of a closed surface integral. Ultimately, the holography of time shows the dualism between quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity.

The solution of adhesion problems with elastic plates generally involves solving a boundary-value problem with an assumed contact area. The contact region is then found by minimizing the total potential energy with respect to the contact area (i.e. the contact radius for the axisymmetric case). Such a procedure can be extremely long and tedious. Here, we show that the inclusion of adhesion is equivalent to specifying a discontinuous internal bending moment at the contact region boundary. The magnitude of this moment discontinuity is related to the work of adhesion and flexural rigidity of the plate. Such a formulation can greatly reduce the algebraic complexity of solving these problems. It is noted that the related plate contact problems without adhesion can also be solved by minimizing the total potential energy. However, it has long been recognized that it is mathematically more efficient to find the contact area by specifying a continuous internal bending moment at the boundary of the contact region. Thus, our moment discontinuity method can be considered to be a generalization of that procedure which is applicable for problems with adhesion.

Modern differential geometry may be said to date from Riemann's famous lecture of 1854 (9), in which a distance function of the form F(xi, dxi) = (γij(x)dxidxj½ was proposed. The applications of the consequent geometry were many and varied. Examples are Synge's geometrization of mechanics (15), Riesz’ approach to linear elliptic partial differential equations (10), and the well-known general theory of relativity of Einstein.Meanwhile the results of Caratheodory (4) in the calculus of variations led Finsler in 1918 to introduce a generalization of the Riemannian metric function (6). The geometry which arose was more fully developed by Berwald (2) and Synge (14) about 1925 and later by Cartan (5), Busemann, and Rund. It was then possible to extend the applications of Riemannian geometry.

Abstract This paper discusses a novel optimization method to design statically balanced manipulators. Only springs are used to balance the manipulators composed of revolute (R) joints. Since the total potential energy of the system is constant when statically balanced, the sum of squared differences between the two potential energy when giving different random values of joint variables is set as the objective function. Then the optimization tool of MATLAB is used to obtain the spring attachment points. The results show that for a 1-link manipulator mounted on an R joint, in addition to attaching the spring right above the R joint, the attachment point can have offset. It also indicates that an arbitrary spatial manipulator with n link, whose weight cannot be neglected, can be balanced using n springs. Using this method, the static balancing can be readily achieved, with multiple solutions.

This paper deals with an adaptive refinement technique of a B-spline degenerate shell finite element model, for the free vibration analysis of curved thin and moderately thick-walled structures. The automatic refinement of the solution is based on an error functional related to the density of the total potential energy. The model refinement is generated by locally increasing, in a sub-domain R of a local patch domain, the number of shape functions while maintaining constant the functions polynomial order. The local refinement strategy is described in a companion paper, written by the same authors of this paper and presented in this Conference. A two-step iterative procedure is proposed. In the first step, one or more sub domains to be refined are identified by means of a point-wise error functional based on the system total potential energy local density. In the second step, the number of shape functions to be added is iteratively increased until the difference of the total potential energy, calculated on the sub domain between two iteration, is below a user defined tolerance. A numerical example is presented in order to test the proposed approach. Strengths and limits of the approach are critically discussed.

Based on the first-principles, using CCSD(T) ab initio calculation method, many-body potential energy of solid argon are accurately calculated with the atomic distance R from 2.0Å to 3.6Å at T=300K, and firstly establish and discuss the face-centered cubic (fcc) atomic crystal configurations of two-, three-, and four-body terms by geometry optimization. The results shows that the total number of (Ar)2 clusters is 903, which belongs to 12 different geometric configurations, the total number of (Ar)3 clusters is 861, which belongs to 25 different geometric configurations, and the total number of (Ar)4 clusters of is 816 which belongs to 27 different geometric configurations. We find that the CCSD(T) with the aug-cc-pVQZ basis set is most accurate and practical by comprehensive consideration. The total potential energy Un reachs saturation at R>2.0Å when the only two-and three-body interaction energy are considered. When R≤2.0Å, the total potential energy Un must consider four-and higher-body interaction energy to achieve saturation. Many-body expansion potential of fcc solid argon is an exchange convergent series.

Static balancing is a useful concept to reduce the operating effort of mechanisms. Spring mechanisms are used to achieve a constant total potential energy, thus eliminating any preferred position. Quasi-statically, the mechanism, once statically balanced, can be moved virtually without the operating energy. In some cases, it is desirable to adjust the characteristic of the balancer, for instance, due to a change in the payload in a gravity balanced mechanism. The adjustment of current static balancers requires significant operating energy. This paper will present a novel variant to adjust the spring- and linkage-based static balancers without the need for external energy. The variant makes use of the possibility to adjust the spring stiffness in an energy-conserving way by adjusting the number of active coils. The conditions under which it functions properly will be given, and a proof of the concept model will be shown.

The conformations of thietane, thietane sulfoxide, and their 3-chloro derivatives were obtained theoretically by minimization of the energy with respect to geometric parameters using the semi-empirical CNDO/2 method extended to the third period. The results agree well with known experimental data. The respective stabilities of the different conformers are explained by partial energy results obtained by a bicentric partition of the total potential energy of the molecules.
