This paper reports and investigates paradoxical simulation results of the bouncing ball system. Chaos-like motion of the bouncing ball system with intermittent chattering (Zeno behaviour) is observed in simulations if the relative acceleration of the table ...
In the sport of alpine skiing, knowledge about the centre of mass (CoM) kinematics (i.e. position, velocity and acceleration) is essential to better understand both performance and injury. This study proposes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-bas ...
This paper reports on the dilute, aqueous solution self-assembly of two asymmetric polystyrene-b-poly(L-lysine) (PSnPKm) diblock oligomers with PS and PK number-average degrees of polymerization of eight, respectively, 40 and 60. The self-assembly of these ...
This paper deals with the coordination of a group of mobile robots at an intersection. It focusses on decentralized navigation functions (DNFs) to achieve efficient traffic control. The main challenge is to define virtual potentials, which are used by dece ...
Laboratory experiments play an important role in improving the modelling of rock avalanches since they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that characterise propagation and to identifying parameters influencing velocity and deposit chara ...
