Defected twisted ring topology for autonomous periodic flip-spin-orbit soft robot. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S APeriodic spin–orbit motion is ubiquitous in nature, observed from electrons orbiting nuclei to spinning planets orbiting the Sun. Achieving autonomous periodic orbiting motions, along circular and noncircular paths, in soft mobile robotics is crucial for adaptive and intelligent exploration of unknown environments—a grand challenge yet to be ...

Orbital flips due to solar radiation pressure for space debris in near-circular orbits [PDF]
Acta Astronautica, 2021 Abstract Orbital plane flips, a transition from prograde to retrograde motion or vice versa, is a phenomenon due to solar radiation pressure that is investigated. We consider initial near-circular orbits with different inclinations, including the vicinity of orbits of the GNSS satellites, GEO, geosynchronous orbits, and super-GEO region.

Circular Orbit Flip Trajectories Generated by E-Sail
Applied Sciences, 2023 An Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) is a propellantless propulsion concept that extracts momentum from the high-speed solar wind stream to generate thrust. This paper investigates the performance of such a propulsion system in obtaining the transition from a prograde to a retrograde motion.

Orbit growth for algebraic flip systems [PDF]
Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 2014 An algebraic flip system is an action of the infinite dihedral group by automorphisms of a compact abelian group $X$. In this paper, a fundamental structure theorem is established for irreducible algebraic flip systems, that is, systems for which the only closed invariant subgroups of $X$ are finite.

Direct-retrograde orbit flips at planetary close encounters
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Aims. We want to find the conditions under which planetary close encounters transform the orbits of small Solar System bodies from direct to retrograde, and vice versa. Methods. We derive analytical constraints on the orbital elements of the small body that allow direct-retrograde transitions at close encounters. We check the validity of the analytical

Orbit structure of interval exchange transformations with flip [PDF]
Nonlinearity, 2013 A sharp bound on the number of invariant components of an interval exchange transformation is provided. More precisely, it is proved that the number of periodic components n_per and the number of minimal components n_min of an interval exchange transformation of n intervals satisfy n_per+2 n_min\le n.

Resonant Homoclinic Bifurcations with Orbit Flips and Inclination Flips
Applied Mathematics, 2013 Homoclinic bifurcation with one orbit flip, two inclination flips and resonance in the tangent directions of homoclinic orbit is considered. By studying the associated successor functions constructed from a local active coordinate system, we prove the existence of double 1-periodic orbit, 1-homoclinic orbit, and also some coexistence conditions of 1 ...
