A Two-Step Composite Time Integration Scheme for Vehicle-Track Interaction Analysis considering Contact Separation by Ya Gao, Jin Shi, Chenxu Lu

“…First, two coupled vehicle-track models with different degrees-of-freedom are constructed, in which a vehicle-track system is modeled as two subsystems and the interaction between the two subsystems is implemented via kinematic constraints. Then, the two-step method is applied in the models to simulate several cases, and the accuracy and efficiency of this method are discussed in comparison with additional methods of the Newmark family. …”

Dihadron correlations in small-x DIS at NLO: transverse momentum dependent fragmentation by Paul Caucal, Farid Salazar

“…Abstract We compute the inclusive dihadron cross-section in Deep Inelastic Scattering at next-to-leading order (NLO) and small x in the Color Glass Condensate. We focus on the kinematic limit where the hadrons are produced at forward rapidities (in the direction of the virtual photon) and back-to-back in the transverse plane. …”

The right way to ride the wrong bike: An exploration of Klein's 'unridable' bicycle. by B D Coller

“…The secret is revealed through an exploration of the dynamics and control of the bike that contains three elements: (1) modeling the physics of the actively steered bicycle as an inverted pendulum riding atop a carriage; (2) recognizing that the steer kinematics leads to competing physical mechanisms which an aspiring rider might exploit; and (3) examining limitations of controllability and stabilizability of the system from a state space perspective. …”

The Multiple Extended Tidal Tails of NGC 288 by Carl J. Grillmair

“…We also detect a broad, at least ∼40° long leading tail that appears to be composed of at least two narrower, spatially offset, and kinematically distinct streams. Stream modeling predicts a similar broad composite of streams and suggests that these narrower components could each be made up of one or more generations of tidal tails, each formed during different orbits over the past few gigayears. …”

Optimization Design and Simulation of Single Degree of Freedom Legs of Quadruped Robots by Shi Huiwen, He Jing, Wang Zhijun

“…In order to solve the problems of multiple drives and weak leg stiffness of quadruped robots, a new leg mechanism with single degree of freedom is proposed, which is composed of two crank-rocker mechanisms, a synchronous belt drive and an external meshing cylindrical gear drive. The kinematics model of the mechanism is established and the coordinates of the foot end are derived. …”

Jets with electrons from boosted top quarks by Suman Chatterjee, Rohini Godbole, Tuhin S. Roy

“…Our method uses the distribution of energy in different parts of the detector to identify a jet containing an energetic electron, involves use of substructure of the jet to determine the momentum associated with the electron and then completes the identification of top jet with the construction of new variables which would reflect the top quark decay kinematics. The last part involves an ansatz of the existence of a massless, invisible four-momentum roughly collimated with the electron, whose four- momentum when combined with that of the the electron and the full jet, reconstructs to the W boson and the top quark respectively. …”
