Consider the rotor of a gyroscope. The rotor is attached to a frame that is rotating about a fixed vertical axes with a constant rate of ω 1, and with the rotor rotating relative to that frame at a ...

The University of Virginia is investigating the use of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) angular rate sensor to measure head angular acceleration in impact testing. Output from the sensor, which measures ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Frontal and temporal lobe contusions that were caused by a single sagittal plane angular acceleration impulse were analyzed. At neuropathological exam the depth, extent, and location of contusions ...
