Numerical Study on the Effect of Non-Sinusoidal Motion on the Energy Extraction Performance of Parallel Foils

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The effect of non-sinusoidal motion which influences the energy extraction performance of foil is considered in this paper. Two oscillation motions, the combined non-sinusoidal plunging and sinusoidal pitching motion, as well as the combined non ...

Forced pitch motion of wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2016
The possibility of a wind turbine entering vortex ring state during pitching oscillations is explored in this paper. The aerodynamic performance of the rotor was computed using the Helicopter Multi-Block flow solver. This code solves the Navier-Stokes equations in integral form using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation for time-dependent ...

Aerodynamic analysis of insect-like flapping wings in fan-sweep and parallel motions with the slit effect

open access: yesBiomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, 2022
In this study, the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings using a parallel motion was investigated and compared with the insect-like “fan-sweep” motion, and the effect of adding a slit to the wings was analyzed.

Rapidly pitching plates in decelerating motion near the ground [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Birds employ rapid pitch-up motions for different purposes: perching birds use this motion to decelerate and come to a complete stop while hunting birds, like bald eagles, employ it to catch prey and swiftly fly away. Motivated by these observations, our

The Relationship Between Hip Range of Motion and Pitching Kinematics Related to Increased Elbow Valgus Loads in Collegiate Baseball Pitchers: A Pilot Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2021
# Background Hip range of motion (ROM) during baseball pitching is associated with trunk rotation and shoulder kinematics, which has shown to influence medial elbow valgus loading and pitching performance.

Improvement of Dynamic Wheel Load Oscillations by Coupling Pitch Motion into Bounce Motion during Pitching Motion of Passenger Vehicle

open access: yesPoliteknik Dergisi, 2021
The aim of this study is to determine the oscillation center position change that can reduce the dynamic wheel load oscillations during the pitching motion. For this purpose, the pitch and heave motions were coupled to each other during the pitch motion by changing the positions of the pitch and heave oscillation centers according to each other.

The Sub-Riemannian Geometry of Screw Motions with Constant Pitch

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2023
We consider a family of Riemannian manifolds M such that for each unit speed geodesic gamma of M there exists a distinguished bijective correspondence L between infinitesimal translations along gamma and infinitesimal rotations around it. The simplest examples are R^3, S^3 and hyperbolic 3-space, with L defined in terms of the cross product.
