Many scientists including Newton, Mach, and Einstein recognized that inertial force has no reaction that originates on mass. Einstein calls the lack of reaction to the inertial force a serious criticism of the space-time continuum concept. Presented is the hypothesis that the inertial force develops in an interaction of two masses via the force field. The inertial force created by such a field has reaction force. The dynamic gravitational field predicted is strong enough to be detected in the laboratory. This article describes the laboratory experiment which can prove or disprove the hypothesis of the dynamic gravitational field. The inertial force, calculated using the equation for the dynamic gravitational field, agrees with the behavior of inertial force observed in the experiments on the Earth. The movement of the planets in our solar system calculated using that equation is the same as that calculated using Newton’s method. The space properties calculated by the candidate equation explain the aberration of light and the results of light propagation experiments. The dynamic gravitational field can explain the discrepancy between the observed velocity of stars in the galaxy and those predicted by Newton’s theory of gravitation without the need for the dark matter hypothesis.展开更多

However, while Mach’s principle is based on the so-called “long-range gravitational interaction” characterized by an infinitely large propagation velocity, our study is based on a “modified” long-range principle, assuming a very large but finite propagation velocity of the gravitational interaction between local material objects and distant matter. Thus, it is postulated that there are two types of gravitational interaction—short-range gravitational interaction between local objects and long-range gravitational interaction between local objects and distant matter in the universe, which are characterized by different propagation speeds, but with the same gravitational constant. On the basis of the modified long-range principle, a model of distant matter is built in the form of a hollow spherical layer with negligible thickness. The phenomenological assumption is made that the movement with acceleration of the local reference frame (RF) is related to a change in the spherically symmetric distribution of the lines of gravitational interaction of this RF with distant matter, which is expressed in a corresponding asymmetric distribution of the effective mass density on the hollow sphere. A simplified (idealized) model of the effective change of the hollow sphere of distant matter by cutting off separate segments of the sphere is proposed. On the basis of the model, the possibility of representing the inertial effects in three simplest types of reference frames through a corresponding gravitational interaction is considered: 1) inertial RF;2) RF moving in a straight line with constant acceleration;3) RF rotating with constant angular velocity. Expressions were obtained for the gravitational accelerations acting on the test body located inside the hollow sphere with a corresponding change (“cutting”). It is concluded that these accelerations can in a first approximation represent the inertial accelerations of the main types noted above. It is shown that in order to obtain reasonable values of the truncation parameters of the hollow sphere, it is necessary to assume that the gravitational interaction inside this sphere is not of the Newtonian type, i.e. the same depends on the distance not according to the law 1/r2, but according to modified law with a non-integer (fractional) exponent. This law corresponds to a fractal structure of the source of attraction inside the truncated sphere of distant matter. The issue of the possibility of the supposed modified long-range interaction is briefly discussed on the basis of a comparison of the finding a connection with the lines of force of the same with the “cosmic strings” assumed by a number of researchers, along which corresponding excitations (waves, particles) moving at super-light speed. The work advances the idea of the presence of unity and at the same time oppositeness of the inertia of material objects and the known gravitational interaction between them, which are generated by the properties of symmetry of the long-range gravitational interaction. Moreover, while the inertia of the bodies is due to the violation of this symmetry caused by their movement with acceleration, the gravitational interaction between the bodies is due to the aspiration to restore the symmetry of a far-reaching gravitational interaction, which is disturbed by the presence of local material bodies. In the conclusion of the work, the important physico-philosophical significance of Mach’s principle is emphasized, expressed in the understanding that not only the world of microscopic objects (“micro-world”), but also the world of huge cosmic objects (“mega-world”) can have a corresponding impact on our “macroscopic” world.展开更多

Then, S is called a critical set of refined inertias for ireducible sign patterns of order n if is sufficient for any sign pattern A to be refined inertially arbitrary. If no proper subset of Sis a critical set of refined inertias, then S is a minimal critical set of refined inertias for sign patterns of order n . In this paper, all minimal critical sets of refined inertias for irreducible sign patterns of order 2 are identified. As a by-product, a new approach is presented to identify all minimal critical sets of inertias for irreducible sign patterns of order 2.展开更多

Currently there are many studies on parallel manipulators, but few mention inertia parameters and inertia match of parallel manipulators. This paper focuses on the inertia characteristics of the 3-RRR reconfigurable planar parallel manipulator. On the basis of the inverse dynamic formulations deduced with the principle of virtual work, the inertia matrix of the 3-RRR planar parallel manipulator in the actuator space is obtained in algebraic form. Then, by unifying the dimension and averaging diagonal elements of the inertia matrix, the equivalent inertia of the parallel manipulator, which is the inertial load of the parallel manipulator converted to each actuator shaft, is determined. By transforming the inertia problem of the 3-RRR parallel manipulator into that of the serial multi-bar manipulator, the practicality of the equivalent inertia deduced by inverse dynamics is demonstrated. According to the physical meaning of the inertia equation, the manipulator is divided in to three parts. Further analysis is carried out on the contribution of each part to the equivalent inertia and their distributions in the required workspace, revealing that the passive links cannot ignored in calculating the equivalent inertia of the parallel manipulator. Finally, the inertia match for the 3-RRR reconfigurable parallel manipulator under three configurations is accomplished, and reducers are selected. The equivalent inertia calculation and the inertial match results illustrate that the inertia math is a necessary step to the design of the parallel manipulator, and inertia parameters dramatically affect dynamic performances of parallel manipulators. Besides, the equivalent inertia and inertial match principles, proposed in the paper, can be widely applied in the dynamic analysis and servomotors selecting for the parallel manipulator.展开更多

Associated with each sign pattern A of order n is a qualitative class of A,defined by Q(A). For a symmetric sign pattern A of order n,the inertia of A is a set i(A)={i(B)=(i +(B),i -(B),i 0(B))|B=B T∈ Q(A)},where i +(B) (respectively,i -(B),i 0(B)) denotes the number of positive (respectively,negative,zero) eigenvalues. That the symmetric sign pattern A requires unique intertia means i(B 1)=i(B 2) for all real symmetric matrices B 1,B 2∈Q(A).The purpose of this paper is to characterize double star and cycle sign patterns that require unique inertia. Further,their unique inertia is also obtained.展开更多

The symmetric sign pattern matrices that require unique inertia have recently been characterized. The purpose of this paper is to more generally investigate the inertia sets of symmetric sign pattern matrices. In particular, nonnegative tri-diagonal sign patterns and the square sign pattern with all + entries are examined. An algorithm is given for generating nonnegative real symmetric Toeplitz matrices with zero diagonal of orders n≥3 which have exactly two negative eigenvalues. The inertia set of the square pattern with all + off-diagonal entries and zero diagonal entries is then analyzed. The types of inertias which can be in the inertia set of any sign pattern are also obtained in the paper. Specifically, certain compatibility and consecutiveness properties are established.展开更多

The iteration procedure and finite formulation ofsolving the new Reynolds lubrication equation are given to analyze the effect of oil film on pistonskirt in this kind of engine. The calculation results show that the oil film inertia has someeffects on the friction force, pressure force and load capacity of oil film and its effect isobvious for the last. The Reynolds lubrication equation proposed can be also used to analyze thelubrication performance of the piston skirt in low or medium speed engine and some other lubricationproblems generally excluding oil film inertia with the inertia coefficient being set at zero.展开更多

By considering the vacuum as a liquid with a measurable density, hydrodynamics laws are used to describe the behaviour of the vacuum when it is dragged by moving body. The inertia is the result of the initial resistance between the moving bodies against the static vacuum. The moving body drags the resisting vacuum during acceleration, till the point that the vacuum travels with the moving body and has the same velocity. When the body decelerates, the vacuum continues to flow and to push the body at the same direction of the original flow till its complete stop. Formulations based on Planck theory derived to prove its equivalence to Newton inertia law. Formulation based on hydrodynamics is derived to confirm the theory that the force exerted by the vacuum on static body in gravity and on moving body in inertia is equivalent to Newton law. The strong equivalence principle is reaffirmed and, consequently, Einstein’s equations are preserved.展开更多

This hypothesis can explain many Nature observations, experiments and formulas, for example the Lorentz factor demonstration. Because of such good explanations, the hypothesis of a variable time has been validated. Nevertheless, it remains some paradoxes and some predictions which are difficult to measure, as a reversible time or the time variation itself. The purpose of this article is to study another hypothesis. If it gives interesting results, it would mean that this alternative hypothesis can also be validated. The idea in this paper is to replace the variable time by a variable inertial mass. To the difference with the Theory of Relativity (where the inertial mass and the gravitational mass are equal and variable), the gravitational mass is here supposed to be constant. So, starting from the definition of the kinetic energy, it is introduced the Lorentz factor. And then it is demonstrated the value of the Lorentz factor thanks to a variable inertial mass. This variable inertial mass can also explain experiments, like Bertozzi experiment. If this alternative demonstration was validated, it could help to open doors, other physical effects could be explained like the addition of velocities.展开更多

It is shown that in order to obtain reasonable values of the truncation parameters of the hollow sphere, it is necessary to assume that the gravitational interaction inside this sphere is not of the Newtonian type, i.e. the same depends on the distance not according to the law 1/r2, but according to modified law with a non-integer (fractional) exponent. This law corresponds to a fractal structure of the source of attraction inside the truncated sphere of distant matter. The issue of the possibility of the supposed modified long-range interaction is briefly discussed on the basis of a comparison of the finding a connection with the lines of force of the same with the “cosmic strings” assumed by a number of researchers, along which corresponding excitations (waves, particles) moving at super-light speed. The work advances the idea of the presence of unity and at the same time oppositeness of the inertia of material objects and the known gravitational interaction between them, which are generated by the properties of symmetry of the long-range gravitational interaction. Moreover, while the inertia of the bodies is due to the violation of this symmetry caused by their movement with acceleration, the gravitational interaction between the bodies is due to the aspiration to restore the symmetry of a far-reaching gravitational interaction, which is disturbed by the presence of local material bodies. In the conclusion of the work, the important physico-philosophical significance of Mach’s principle is emphasized, expressed in the understanding that not only the world of microscopic objects (“micro-world”), but also the world of huge cosmic objects (“mega-world”) can have a corresponding impact on our “macroscopic” world.
文摘Let S be a nonempty, proper subset of all refined inertias. Then, S is called a critical set of refined inertias for ireducible sign patterns of order n if is sufficient for any sign pattern A to be refined inertially arbitrary. If no proper subset of Sis a critical set of refined inertias, then S is a minimal critical set of refined inertias for sign patterns of order n . In this paper, all minimal critical sets of refined inertias for irreducible sign patterns of order 2 are identified. As a by-product, a new approach is presented to identify all minimal critical sets of inertias for irreducible sign patterns of order 2.

文摘A surface soil moisture model with improved spatial resolution was developed using remotely sensed apparent thermal inertia（ATI）.The model integrates the surface temperature derived from TM/ETM＋ image and the mean surface temperature from MODIS images to improve the spatial resolution of soil temperature difference based on the heat conduction equation,which is necessary to calculate the ATI.Consequently,the spatial resolution of ATI and SMC can be enhanced from 1 km to 120 m（TM） or 60m（ETM＋）.Moreover,the enhanced ATI has a much stronger correlation coefficient（R^2） with SMC（0.789） than the surface reflectance（0.108） or the ATI derived only from MODIS images（0.264）.Based on the regression statistics of the field SMC measurement and enhanced ATI,a linear regression model with an RMS error of 1.90%was found.

文摘Inertia match of the parallel manipulator means the ratio of the inertial load of the parallel manipulator converted to each actuator shaft and the moment of inertia of the actuator is kept within a reasonable range. Currently there are many studies on parallel manipulators, but few mention inertia parameters and inertia match of parallel manipulators. This paper focuses on the inertia characteristics of the 3-RRR reconfigurable planar parallel manipulator. On the basis of the inverse dynamic formulations deduced with the principle of virtual work, the inertia matrix of the 3-RRR planar parallel manipulator in the actuator space is obtained in algebraic form. Then, by unifying the dimension and averaging diagonal elements of the inertia matrix, the equivalent inertia of the parallel manipulator, which is the inertial load of the parallel manipulator converted to each actuator shaft, is determined. By transforming the inertia problem of the 3-RRR parallel manipulator into that of the serial multi-bar manipulator, the practicality of the equivalent inertia deduced by inverse dynamics is demonstrated. According to the physical meaning of the inertia equation, the manipulator is divided in to three parts. Further analysis is carried out on the contribution of each part to the equivalent inertia and their distributions in the required workspace, revealing that the passive links cannot ignored in calculating the equivalent inertia of the parallel manipulator. Finally, the inertia match for the 3-RRR reconfigurable parallel manipulator under three configurations is accomplished, and reducers are selected. The equivalent inertia calculation and the inertial match results illustrate that the inertia math is a necessary step to the design of the parallel manipulator, and inertia parameters dramatically affect dynamic performances of parallel manipulators. Besides, the equivalent inertia and inertial match principles, proposed in the paper, can be widely applied in the dynamic analysis and servomotors selecting for the parallel manipulator.

文摘The ambitious global targets on decarbonization present the need for massive integration of renewable generation in power systems,resulting in a significant decrease in the system inertia.In addition to the reduction in system inertia,the transmission system in Great Britain(GB)faces some unique challenges owing to its relatively small capacity,while being decoupled from other transmission systems and with the renewable resources largely non-uniformly distributed across the system.This paper presents opinions and insights on the challenges associated with frequency control in a low-inertia system and the potential solutions from a GB perspective.In this paper,we focus on three main techniques that act over different time scales:synchronous condensers,inertia emulation,and fast frequency response.We evaluate their relative advantages and limitations with learnings from recent research and development projects in GB,along with the opinions on their roles in addressing the frequency control challenges in future low-inertia systems.

文摘A sign pattern is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. Associated with each sign pattern A of order n is a qualitative class of A,defined by Q(A). For a symmetric sign pattern A of order n,the inertia of A is a set i(A)={i(B)=(i +(B),i -(B),i 0(B))|B=B T∈ Q(A)},where i +(B) (respectively,i -(B),i 0(B)) denotes the number of positive (respectively,negative,zero) eigenvalues. That the symmetric sign pattern A requires unique intertia means i(B 1)=i(B 2) for all real symmetric matrices B 1,B 2∈Q(A).The purpose of this paper is to characterize double star and cycle sign patterns that require unique inertia. Further,their unique inertia is also obtained.
文摘A sign pattern matrix is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. The symmetric sign pattern matrices that require unique inertia have recently been characterized. The purpose of this paper is to more generally investigate the inertia sets of symmetric sign pattern matrices. In particular, nonnegative tri-diagonal sign patterns and the square sign pattern with all + entries are examined. An algorithm is given for generating nonnegative real symmetric Toeplitz matrices with zero diagonal of orders n≥3 which have exactly two negative eigenvalues. The inertia set of the square pattern with all + off-diagonal entries and zero diagonal entries is then analyzed. The types of inertias which can be in the inertia set of any sign pattern are also obtained in the paper. Specifically, certain compatibility and consecutiveness properties are established.
文摘The influence of oil film inertia on piston skirt lubrication in a high speedengine is investigated by an iteration method that alternately solves the Navier-Stocks equationsand the Reynolds equa-tion by finite element method and difference method. The Reynolds lubricationequation including oil film inertia is developed, in which the inertia coefficient is introduced toinvestigate the effect of oil film inertia. The iteration procedure and finite formulation ofsolving the new Reynolds lubrication equation are given to analyze the effect of oil film on pistonskirt in this kind of engine. The calculation results show that the oil film inertia has someeffects on the friction force, pressure force and load capacity of oil film and its effect isobvious for the last. The Reynolds lubrication equation proposed can be also used to analyze thelubrication performance of the piston skirt in low or medium speed engine and some other lubricationproblems generally excluding oil film inertia with the inertia coefficient being set at zero.

文摘For a symmetric sign pattern S1 the inertia set of S is defined to be the set of all ordered triples si（S） = {i（A） ： A = A^T ∈ Q（S）} Consider the n × n sign pattern Sn, where Sn is the pattern with zero entry （i,j） for 1 ≤ i = j ≤ n or｜i -j｜=n- 1 and positive entry otherwise. In this paper, it is proved that si（Sn） = {（n1, n2, n - n1 - n2）｜n1≥ 1 and n2 ≥ 2} for n ≥ 4.
文摘This paper aims to present a new theory that explains the mechanism of inertia at providing a satisfying explanation for the yet unknown mechanism for inertia. By considering the vacuum as a liquid with a measurable density, hydrodynamics laws are used to describe the behaviour of the vacuum when it is dragged by moving body. The inertia is the result of the initial resistance between the moving bodies against the static vacuum. The moving body drags the resisting vacuum during acceleration, till the point that the vacuum travels with the moving body and has the same velocity. When the body decelerates, the vacuum continues to flow and to push the body at the same direction of the original flow till its complete stop. Formulations based on Planck theory derived to prove its equivalence to Newton inertia law. Formulation based on hydrodynamics is derived to confirm the theory that the force exerted by the vacuum on static body in gravity and on moving body in inertia is equivalent to Newton law. The strong equivalence principle is reaffirmed and, consequently, Einstein’s equations are preserved.
文摘For a century, hypothesis of a variable time is laid down by the Relativity Theory. This hypothesis can explain many Nature observations, experiments and formulas, for example the Lorentz factor demonstration. Because of such good explanations, the hypothesis of a variable time has been validated. Nevertheless, it remains some paradoxes and some predictions which are difficult to measure, as a reversible time or the time variation itself. The purpose of this article is to study another hypothesis. If it gives interesting results, it would mean that this alternative hypothesis can also be validated. The idea in this paper is to replace the variable time by a variable inertial mass. To the difference with the Theory of Relativity (where the inertial mass and the gravitational mass are equal and variable), the gravitational mass is here supposed to be constant. So, starting from the definition of the kinetic energy, it is introduced the Lorentz factor. And then it is demonstrated the value of the Lorentz factor thanks to a variable inertial mass. This variable inertial mass can also explain experiments, like Bertozzi experiment. If this alternative demonstration was validated, it could help to open doors, other physical effects could be explained like the addition of velocities.
