The University of Virginia is investigating the use of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) angular rate sensor to measure head angular acceleration in impact testing. Output from the sensor, which measures ...

Diving has gotten a lot of strange attention this year, thanks to a lack of filtration chemicals that caused the water to turn from a pristine blue to a worrisome green, which Olympic officials are ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Consider the rotor of a gyroscope. The rotor is attached to a frame that is rotating about a fixed vertical axes with a constant rate of ω 1, and with the rotor rotating relative to that frame at a ...

When a magnetic material is bombarded with short pulses of laser light, it loses its magnetism within femtoseconds (10 –15 seconds). The spin, or angular momentum, of the electrons in the material ...
