The Paris/Geneva Divide. A Network Analysis of the Archives of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations
The International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation (ICIC) is often framed as a step in the constitution of a “League of Minds” – a place where scientists and writers reign, and a necessary part of a successful and harmonious “League of Nations” – but ...
De Gruyter2022Rocker oscillator time bases
Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi
Since the invention of the pendulum clock by Christiaan Huygens in 1657, precision timekeepers have been regulated by oscillators. Although the pendulum is not an isochronous oscillator, its introduction as a time basis for clock regulation led to a signif ...
2021OASE 108. Ups & Downs. Reception Histories in Architecture
What is good, less good, or bad architecture? This issue of OASE examines how shifting appreciations, for very diverse reasons, can function as a productive misunderstanding, and as a lever to advance architectural criticism and pry thinking about architec ...
nai0102021Design of a Flexure Based Low Frequency Foucault Pendulum
Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger
The Foucault pendulum is a well-known mechanism used to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. It consists in a pendulum launched on linear orbits and, following Mach’s Principle, this line of oscillation will remain fixed with respect to absolute space bu ...

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger
In 1851 Léon Foucault created a sensation with his pendulum providing a direct demonstration of the turning of the Earth. This simple device consists of a pendulum which is launched in a purely planar orbit. Following Mach's principle of inertia, the mass ...
euspen2020Numerical modelling of variable friction sliding base isolators
As the desire for high performance buildings increases, a number of solutions to enhance the dynamic response of structures have been explored and implemented. In recent years, base isolation has become a practical and effective strategy for earthquake res ...
2015The motion of a 2D pendulum in a channel subjected to an incoming flow
François Gallaire, Andrea Fani
The flow around a tethered cylinder subjected to an incoming flow transverse to its main axis and confined in a channel is investigated by means of global stability analysis of the full coupled body-fluid problem. When the cylinder is strongly confined (ra ...
Cambridge University Press2015Sliding Mode Control in Ziegler’s Pendulum With Tracking Force: Novel Modeling Considerations
Mehran Khaghani, Ehsan Sarshari
Ziegler's pendulum is an appropriate model of a nonconservative dynamic system. By considering gravity effect, new equations of motion are extracted from Newton's motion laws. The instability of equilibriums is determined by linear stability analysis. Chao ...
