If you’ve ever played with tops, you know that some spin easily while others wobble. Ever wonder why? The answer has to do with rotational inertia, a property shared by all rotating systems. Sometimes ...
We investigate collective properties of a large system of soft self-propelled inertial disks with active Langevin dynamics simulation in two dimensions. Rotational inertia of the disks is found to ...
The optimal size for a clutch or brake is determined by three things: Required torque, thermal horsepower per engagement, and average required thermal horsepower. Here, we'll discuss the first, ...
