Joint coordinate

An obvious test of such a mechanism is use of standard free-radical traps (p-benzoquinone, TEMPO) indeed they block the reaction which, to us, also indicates that the reaction is not exclusively interfacial, but occurs also in the solution. We believe that the role of the nickel (II) centers is joint coordination of the sacrificial aldehyde and of dioxygen in the initiation step. 

This work introduced the concept of a vibronic R-matrix, defined on a hypersurface in the joint coordinate space of electrons and intemuclear coordinates. In considering the vibronic problem, it is assumed that a matrix representation of the Schrodinger equation for N+1 electrons has been partitioned to produce an equivalent set of multichannel one-electron equations coupled by a matrix array of nonlocal optical potential operators [270], In the body-fixed reference frame, partial wave functions in the separate channels have the form p(q xN)YL(0, radial channel orbital function i/(q r) and antisymmetrized in the electronic coordinates. Here 0 is a fixed-nuclei A-electron target state or pseudostate and Y] is a spherical harmonic function. Both and i r are parametric functions of the intemuclear coordinate q. It is assumed that the target states 0 for each value of q diagonalize the A-electron Hamiltonian matrix and are orthonormal.

Manuscripts for Reviews and the Archives are in identical formats and are peer reviewed by scientists in the field for adequacy and value manuscripts for the Bulletin are also reviewed, but are published by photo-offset from camera-ready copy to provide the latest results with minimum delay. The individual editors of these three publications comprise the joint Coordinating Board of Editors with referral within the Board of manuscripts submitted to one publication but deemed by major emphasis or length more suitable for one of the others.

Finlandia Week activities were jointly coordinated by both Finnish community centers Finland House (Suomi Talo) and the American Finnish Community Club, AFCC, (Kerho Talo). The original reason for the two separate organizations-that one was communist-oriented and the other was not - appears to have abated over time. 

There are different ways to select joint coordinates. We take between two nodes of the spanning tree the interconnection with the smallest number of degrees of freedom and take these degrees of freedom as joint coordinates. 

Herein, we denote by pij the relative vector along joint ij. The set of joint coordinates of a constrained system is smaller than the set of absolute coordinates and the number of joint coordinates corresponds for tree structured systems to the number of degrees of freedom (DOF). In the constrained truck example we have 9 = (9i---- >97) -... 

Let z be the vector of F independent joint coordinates and base body variables, where F is the number of degrees of freedom. For the sake of efficiency we will assume that all the body reference frames are initially parallel. If they are not, the formulation presented in this section can easily be generalized by simply applying constant rotation matrices to the transformations of all the body vectors. 

Since we introduce some constraint equations, only a subset of all the joint coordinates are independent. Let Fq and Fc be the number of degrees of freedom of the open and closed loop systems, respectively (i.e. Fc is the actual number of degrees of freedom). If we call q the FqxI vector of open-loop joint variables, only a subset of those variables are independent. We call z thcFcxl subset of q, that contains the independent joint coordinates. 

Let Fo be the number of degrees of freedom of the tree-structure system, once the joints have been cut, and q the corresponding Foxl vector of joint coordinates. The components of q are not independent because they are related through the cut joint constraints. Let be the number of the degrees of freedom of the closed loop system and z the F(xl vector of independent joint coordinates. A linear relationship between the two sets of joint velocities must exist and can be written as...

We propose a simple method for the linearization of the equations, which are established in our case, based on the virtual work principle. The kinematic relations between the interconnected bodies are represented by the recursive equations. Under the small deformation assumption, the system generalized variables used in the equations are the relative joint coordinates at the connections and the deformation modal coordinates of the flexible bodies. In the linearization process, the differentiation of the kinematic terms with respect to the generalized variables must be performed. In our method, these partial derivatives are attained through the first and second order time differentiations of the body absolute angular velocities and through the first, second, and third order time differentiations of the mass center coordinates. This is the essential idea behind our method. The partial differentiation of the mechanical terms, for example, of the inertial tensors will also be presented. We have developed specific operators to perform the time differentiations. This method makes both the theoretical formulation and the programming task relatively simple, and allows fast computation. 

In these equations, nr is the number of the rigid degrees of freedom (DOF), and n/is the number of the flexible DOF. q/ is the relative joint coordinates. The vector p gathers all of the DOF of body k. V and D are the partial velocity and the partial angular velocity of the body k which are all complicated implicit functions of vector p. Their recursive expressions are given in detail in [3]. 

The analysis method is based on the joint coordinate formulation as described in [13]. This method constitutes an efficient analysis tool with which arbitrary mechanisms can be analyzed. The concepts of the method are summarized here. For a more detailed explanation the reader is referred to [13] orNKRAVESH [14]. 

Similar relations are valid for other types of joints, and for a chain of bodies, the position and rotation of each body may be found if the orientation of the base body and the vector 0 of joint coordinates along the chain are known. This is readily extended to more complex tree-stnictures, so that, knowing the position and rotation of the root body and the joint coordinates of all the joints in the tree, the orientation of all bodies in the tree may be determined. 

To this vector the driver constraints are added in a manner similar to one found in e.g. NIKRAVESH [15], but expressed in joint coordinates. The set of nonlinear equations are solved in a series of discrete positions of the drivers using the Newton-Raphson procedure as...
