A new closed form solution for dynamic stability analysis of rolling airframes having one pair ON-OFF actuator

open access: yesAviation, 2021
In this paper, the dynamic stability analysis of a rolling airframe actuated by one pair ON-OFF actuator using linear theory is presented via developing a new closed form solution. The effect of discontinuous forcing term on rolling airframe stability is

Chandler Wobble and Free Core Nutation: Theory and Features

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Being a torque free motion of the rotating Earth, Chandler wobble is the major component in the Earth’s polar motion with amplitude about 0.05-0.2 arcsec and period about 430-435 days.

FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

Understanding the effects of the core on the nutation of the Earth

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2017
In this review paper, we examine the changes in the Earth orientation in space and focus on the nutation (shorter-term periodic variations), which is superimposed on precession (long-term trend on a timescale of years).

The Earth's nutation: VLBI versus IAU 2000A

open access: yes, 2013
International audienceThe nutation measured by VLBI is compared with the IAU 2000A model. The differences are modeled empirically by adjusting the free core nutation and a number of tidal terms.
