The Stability

In this paper, we consider a planar motion of a rigid body partially filled with an inviscid liquid and suspended in a uniform horizontal flow. At first, we write the equations of the problem, prove the existence of an equilibrium under a suitable condition and, using a first integral, we give a sufficient condition of stability of this one. Afterwards, we give the equations of the small oscillations of the system about its equilibrium position. Writing these equations in an operatorial form, we prove the existence of a denumerable infinity of complex conjugate pairs of eigenvalues having the infinity as a point of accumulation and obtain the characteristic equation permitting the calculation of the eigenvalues.

Edge Theorem

Considered in this paper is the robust stability of a class of systems in which a relevant characteristic equation is a family of polynomials F: f(s, q) = a0(q) + a1(q)s + … + an(q)sn with its coefficients ai(q) depending linearly on q unknown-but-bounded parameters, q = (p1, p2, …, pq)T. It is known that a necessary and sufficient condition for determining the stability of such a family of polynomials is that polynomials at all the exposed edges of the polytope of F in the coefficient space be stable (the edge theorem of Bartlett et al., 1988). The geometric structure of such a family of polynomials is investigated and an approach is given, by which the number of edges of the polytope that need to be checked for stability can be reduced considerably. An example is included to illustrate the benefit of this geometric interpretation.

This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining the differential equation of the trajectory of dynamical system. Time is eliminated by means of some first integral linear with respect to the velocities. As an example, the stability of rotation of a heavy asymmetric rigid body with a fixed point under the action of the Newtonian central force field is considered.

In this paper, the stability of the unperturbed rigid body motion close to conditions, related with the center of mass, is investigated. The three first integrals for the equations of motion are obtained. These integrals are used to achieve a Lyapunov function and to obtain the necessary and sufficient condition satisfies the stability criteria.

We prove that the classes of languages accepted by systolic automata over t-ary trees (t-STA) are always either equal or incomparable if one varies t. We introduce systolic tree automata with base (T(b)-STA), a subclass of STA with interesting properties of modularity, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence between a T(b)-STA and a t-STA, for a given base b. Finally, we show that the stability problem for T(b)-ST A is decidible.

This problem is a generalization of the classical problem of the stability of a spinning rigid body. We obtain the stability chart by using: (i) the computer algebra system MACSYMA in conjunction with a perturbation method, and (ii) numerical integration based on Floquet theory. We show that the form of the stability chart is different for each of the three cases in which the spin axis is the minimum, maximum, or middle principal moment of inertia axis. In particular, a rotation with arbitrarily small angular velocity about the maximum moment of inertia axis can be made unstable by appropriately choosing the model parameters. In contrast, a rotation about the minimum moment of inertia axis is always stable for a sufficiently small angular velocity. The MACSYMA program, which we used to obtain the transition curves, is included in the Appendix.

Definition Of

The computation of angular acceleration of a rigid body from measured linear accelerations is a simple procedure, based on well-known kinematic principles. It can be shown that, in theory, a minimum of six linear accelerometers are required for a complete definition of the kinematics of a rigid body. However, recent attempts in impact biomechanics to determine general three-dimensional motion of body segments were unsuccessful when only six accelerometers were used. This paper demonstrates the cause for this inconsistency between theory and practice and specifies the conditions under which the method fails. In addition, an alternate method based on a special nine-accelerometer configuration is proposed. The stability and superiority of this approach are shown by the use of hypothetical as well as experimental data.

Abstract The transverse vibrating motion of a simple beam with one end fixed while driven harmonically along its axial direction from the other end is investigated. For a special case of zero value for the rigidity of the beam, the system reduces to that of a vibrating string with the corresponding equation of its motion. The sufficient condition for the periodic solution of the beam is then derived by means of the Green’s function and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. The criteria for the stability of the system is well defined and the condition for which the performance of the beam behaves as a nonlinear function is stated.
