This document summarizes a student's modeling of the dynamics of a gyroscopic system - a flexible rotating shaft. The student models the shaft as a mass connected to ground by springs, rotating at an angular velocity. Equations of motion are derived in a rotating coordinate system. Results show the system becomes unstable when the angular velocity reaches certain critical speeds, due to poles of the characteristic equation becoming purely imaginary. Both internal and external damping are analyzed and shown to potentially destabilize the system.
The document discusses motion around a banked curve. It defines the horizontal and vertical forces involved when an object moves around such a curve. It shows that for no sideways force on the object, the horizontal centrifugal force must equal the horizontal component of the normal force from the bank. This allows deriving an equation that relates the curve radius, angle of the bank, and ideal speed to maintain this balance of forces. As an example, it calculates the most favorable speed for a train moving around a banked curve of given radius and rail dimensions.

Theoretical Realization of Quantum Gates Using Interacting Endohedral Fullerene Molecules:
We have studied a physical system composed of two interacting endohedral fullerene molecules for quantum computational purposes. The mutual interaction between these two molecules is determined by their spin dipolar interaction. The action of static magnetic fields on the whole system allow to encode the qubit in the electron spin of the encased atom.
We herein present a theoretical model which enables us to realize single-qubit and two-qubit gates through the system under consideration. Single-qubit operations can be achieved by applying to the system resonant time-dependent microwave fields. Since the dipolar spin interaction couples the two qubit-encoding spins, two-qubit gates are naturally performed by allowing the system to evolve freely. This theoretical model is applied to two realistic architectures of two interacting endohedrals. In the first realistic system the two molecules are placed at a distance of $1.14 nm$. In the second design the two molecules are separated by a distance of $7 nm$. In the latter case the condition $\Delta\omega_p>>g(r)$ is satisfied, i.e. the difference between the precession frequencies of the two spins is much greater than the dipolar coupling strength. This allows us to adopt a simplified theoretical model for the realization of quantum gates.
The realization of quantum gates for these realistic systems is provided by studying the dynamics of the system. In this extent we have numerically solved a set of Schr{\"o}dinger equations needed for reproducing the respective gate, i.e. phase-gate, $\pi$-gate and CNOT-gate. For each quantum gate reproduced through the realistic system, we have estimated their reliability by calculating their related fidelity.
Finally, we present new ideas regarding architectures of systems composed of endohedral fullerenes, which could allow these systems to become reliable building blocks for the realization of quantum computers.
This document describes a time-domain surface grinding model developed for dynamic simulation purposes. The model accounts for machine tool dynamics, grinding force modeling, and workpiece representation. An experimental campaign was used to calibrate and validate the model. Tests with introduced wheel unbalances showed good agreement between measured and simulated forces. Some evidence of a non-regenerative instability was also observed during single-pass grinding tests. Future work will involve analytical study of this instability and inclusion of wheel wear modeling.

2) It discusses examples of applying the principle of conservation of angular momentum, including a ball on a cylinder and a ballistic pendulum.
3) It introduces the principle of angular impulse, which states that the angular impulse on a particle equals its change in angular momentum, and can be used to analyze impulsive forces.
This document introduces new associated curves called k-principal direction curves and kN slant helices for spatial curves. It defines k-principal direction curves as integral curves of the k-th principle normal vector of the curve.

It explains that momentum is conserved during collisions and distinguishes between external and internal forces. It also defines different types of collisions, such as elastic and inelastic collisions. The document discusses different forms of energy, including kinetic energy and potential energy. It relates force to changes in momentum using impulse.

The document serves as teaching material for a course on seismic design and assessment of masonry structures.
The document presents design charts for estimating the deflection of a thin circular elastic plate resting on a Pasternak foundation. The charts show deflection values for different nondimensional values of modulus of subgrade reaction and shear modulus. The charts were developed using a nondimensional expression for deflection derived through a strain energy approach. The analysis considers the tensionless characteristics of the Pasternak foundation model and the potential for lift-off of the plate from the surface.

The document summarizes a study on the effect of jet configuration on transverse jet mixing. Direct numerical simulations were performed to analyze the effect of jet velocity profile and exit shape. Results show that a parabolic velocity profile enhances mixing over a top-hat profile due to slower vortex breakdown. For exit shape, a circular jet exhibits the most efficient mixing while triangular jets display two counter-rotating vortex pairs that increase entrainment and mixing.

Structural design and non linear modeling of a highly stableAlexander Decker
The document presents a new design for a highly stable multi-rotor hovercraft. It begins by modeling a typical tri-rotor hovercraft structure, then modifies the design to improve hover stability by compensating for air drag moments during steady state hover. Specifically, it replaces the tail rotor servo with an air drag counter moment assembly to simplify the model and provide more precise hover control, making the yaw control decoupled and independent. Dynamic equations are derived for the modified structure and analyzed to verify that the structural modifications have the intended effect of improving stability during hover.
1) Uniform acceleration, energy transfer, and oscillating mechanical systems are examined in Chapter 2 on dynamic engineering systems.
2) Outcomes for Chapter 2 include analyzing dynamic systems involving uniform acceleration and determining the behavior of oscillating mechanical systems.
3) Mechanics involves the study of kinematics (motion), kinetics (forces), and statics (equilibrium) to describe the behavior of objects.
Here are the key points about momentum and impulse:
- Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. It represents the amount of motion an object has.
- Impulse is the product of force and the time over which it acts. It represents the change in an object's momentum due to a force.
- Impulse and change in momentum are directly related - a large impulse (large force or long duration) results in a large change in momentum.
- Both momentum and impulse are vector quantities, having both magnitude and direction associated with the motion or force.
So in summary, momentum describes the amount of motion, while impulse describes the force applied to change an object's motion and momentum.
