The stability for all generic equilibria of the Lie-Poisson dynamics of the so(4) rigid body dynamics is completely determined. It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of so(n) are equilibrium ...
Experimental evidence in the literature suggests that foil bearing-supported rotors can suffer from subsynchronous vibration. While dry friction between top foil and bump foil is thought to provide structural damping, subsynchronous vibration is still an u ...
In this paper we study the problem of Hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems from a geometric point of view. We use gauge transformations by 2-forms (in the sense of evera and Weinstein in Progr Theoret Phys Suppl 144:145 154 2001) to construct different ...
In this work, various aspects concerning the numerical simulation of a sailing boat are investigated. The attention is focused on simulation of the free-surface, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between wind and sails, and the dynamics of the whole bo ...
A microfluidic chip has been realized for investigating immune cell (U937) activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and subsequent pro-inflammatory cytokine (Interleukin-6, IL-6) detection (Ruffert et al. Proc. EMBL Conference Microfluidics 2012a, p 184; P ...
It is in the context of miniaturization that arises the microfluidics concept. It is not uncommon in chemical, biological or medical analysis laboratories to manipulate or to mix fluids while measuring the results with filters, spectrometers or all other e ...
Matching the scale of microfluidic flow systems with that of microelectronic chips for realizing monolithically integrated systems still needs to be accomplished. However, this is appealing only if such re-scaling does not compromise the fluidic throughput ...
Pressure lies at the basis of operation of most microfluidic systems, and is a determinant factor in the extent of miniaturization and in limiting the throughput and time constant of the microfluidic assays. Despite the apparent importance given to fluidic ...
We consider the motion of rigid bodies in a potential fluid subject to certain nonholonomic constraints and show that it is described by Euler-Poincare-Suslov equations. In the two-dimensional case, when the constraint is realized by a blade attached to th ...
This paper shows the generation of monodisperse PLGA micro-droplets in MFFD made of NOA 81. We also present a theory coupled to the MFFD design capable of predicting the size and frequency of the polymer-droplet formation. Chang. et al. have encapsulated n ...
