Around each circle, a square boundary in a pre-calculated proportion to the circle radius is set.
When the circle radius tends to zero, the present results can be reduced to the cases of the Griffith crack.
After a further 200 ms, a peripheral target (black circle, radius of 0.5°) appeared in the right or left peripheral box for 150 ms.
The appearance, location and magnitude of the two peaks depend on the number of satellite orifices and the pitch circle radius on which the satellite holes lie.
Compared to a similar straight-axis flexure design, the circular-axis configuration enhances the design parameter domain by adding the median circle radius.
We characterize the coupling strength using equation (5) by measuring the circle radius re at different frequencies in the complex plane, similar to Fig. 2b. Figure 5 shows the derived device intrinsically-limited efficiency as a function of frequency.
When the driving frequency is f = 28 kHz, the displacement amplitude of the stepped plate can achieve the maximum, and the nodal circle radius of the stepped plate is 2.61 cm which fits evenly the edge of stepped profile.
It is found, for both orders n = 6 and n = 8, that the Bézier ordinate that maximizes the follower lift, for a given total rise angle β, is practically independent of the dimensionless prime circle radius α = Ra/|Rf|.
As for the influence of remaining factors, c and φ also have strong impact on Fs, while H and φ have significant influence on slip circle radius and the location of slip center grid.
For the analytical solution the equations of motion yield a complicated differential equation for which an approximate solution is obtained by assuming that the parallel circle radius is constant as in the case of a bycycle wheel.
The left panel shows a simulated version of a portion of the virtual reality environment that the monkey viewed during the trial: position of the fingertip (filled white circle), dot field (here displayed at 100% coherence for clarity; the coherence presented to the monkey for this trial was 50%), and start target (open green circle, radius 10 mm).
