Abstract: The numerical method presented in this paper permits the solution of differential equations by trapezoidal integration in a time of order log2 T, where T is the number of discrete time steps ...

A right triangular plate scaled by a factor two generates a bigger plate composed of four triangular plates the same size as the original. By using dimensional analysis we write the moment of inertia ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the analysis ...

Joshua Kristian McCoy is a freelance writer and film critic from the United States. He is a lifelong film buff, a voting member of the Georgia Film Critics Association, a tournament-winning Smash Bros ...

Rotational inertia, also known as the moment of inertia or angular mass, is a property of an object that measures its resistance to rotational motion around a specific axis. It is dependent on both ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a method for robotic arms in realistic physical environment based on Gazebo. Parallel-Axis Theorem is used to estimate the links' moment of inertia. Controllers of the ...
