Dynamical polygonization

These conditions show us immediately that in the case of the four-neighbor HPP lattice (V = 4) f is noni.sotropic, and the macroscopic equations therefore cannot yield a Navier-Stokes equation. For the hexagonal FHP lattice, on the other hand, we have V = 6 and P[. is isotropic through order Wolfram [wolf86c] predicts what models are conducive to f lavier-Stokes-like dynamics by using group theory to analyze the symmetry of tensor structures for polygons and polyhedra in d-dimensions.

Figure 7.13 The reaction of a pyridine dialdehyde with several diamines forms a dynamic combinatorial library. From this library, several diimine macrocycles can be obtained in good yield when template ions (symbolized by polygons) of proper size are added. Magnesium ions give a ring size of 15, calcium ions one of 18, and barium ions stabilize the 21-membered rin ...

The role of polyhedra in the static description of chemical structures, including those of coordination compounds, makes the dynamic properties of polyhedra also of considerable interest. The central concept in the study of dynamic properties of polyhedra is that of a polyhedral isomerization, which may be defined as the deformation of a specific polyhedron lIi until the vertices define a new polyhedron II2. Of particular interest are sequences of two polyhedral isomerization steps Hi 112 113 in which the polyhedron II3 is equivalent to the polyhedron Hi but with some permutation of the vertices. Such a polyhedral isomerization process is called a degenerate polyhedral isomerization with II2 as the intermediate polyhedron. A degenerate polyhedral isomerization in which the intermediate II2 is a planar polygon may be called a planar polyhedral isomerization. 

Having solved the linear system of equations (3.6), all kinematical and dynamical components of the state vector at discrete points (x,y) in the interior of the polygonal plate are calculated by numerical integration. 

A Computer-oriented algorithm for nonstationary random vibrations of polygonal Kirchhoff-plates has been developed. A fast and accurate BEM for calculation of undamped frequency response function has been used. Light hysteretic damping has been introduced subsequently, and the modified spectral Priestley-formulation has been applied in order to calculate evolutionary output power spectral density functions. It is hoped that this solution strategy will be of interest for workers in the field of probabilistic structural dynamics. 

A special development is the polygonal drum roller consisting of three octagonal drum elements placed next to each other (see Figure 7.5). According to the manufacturer the combination of this special drum shape (weight 14 to 26 tonnes) with the high dynamic forces enables an optimum introduction of the compression and shear waves into the soil.
