It is found that the non-linear drag effect is significant when the draft or the dimension of the platform structure is small and furthermore, the variation of material properties and dimension of tether also affect the dynamic behavior of both the tether and the platform itself.
Most empirical multilayer social network literature considers multiple dimensions of the same platform [14, 18], whereas we are interested in interactions across different platforms.
While determining the dimensions of the fixed platform, the physical constraints such as limitation on the range of motion of the spherical joints are considered to make the design practical.
Lateral dimensions of the cantilever platform and thicknesses of the constituent layers are designed to meet specifications of mechanical stability, i.e., spring constant, resonant frequency, and electrical sensitivity.
The dimensions and orientation of the platform and walls were such that when placed on the platform, birds had one leg on the force plate and one on the wooden board, allowing measurement of forces from just one leg (in this case the right leg), following the method of Henry et al. (Henry et al., 2005).
Next, case studies are performed for a passenger train and a freight train, where the dimensions of the tunnel and the platform are chosen from the Dutch design requirements for railroad tunnels and platforms.
They were made from the same material and of the same dimensions as the platform described in Experiment 1.
Further, the weight and dimensions of available platform terminal transmitters (PTTs), notwithstanding recent advances, make ready and effective attachment to bats difficult.
Two indices, i.e. differentiation index (DI) and commonality opportunity index (COI), are presented to represent the dimensions of product platform differentiation and commonality, respectively.
