Vollebregt TU Delft Dr. Ir. M. Taouil TU Delft Ir. M. Fieback TU Delft, supervisor An electronic version of this thesis is available at https://repository.tudelft.nl/. Abstract Resistive RAM, or RRAM, is one of the emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies, which could be used in the near future to fill the gap in the memory hierarchy between dynamic RAM (DRAM) and Flash, or even completely replace Flash. RRAM operates faster than Flash, but is still non-volatile, which enables it to be used in a dense 3D NVM array. It is also a suitable candidate for computation-in-memory, neuromorphic computing and reconfigurable computing. However, the show stopping problem of RRAM is that it suffers from unique defects, which is the reason why RRAM is still not widely commercially adopted. These defects differ from those that appear in CMOS technology, due to the arbitrary nature of the forming process. They can not be detected by conventional tests and cause defective devices to go unnoticed.

    Kinematics, Kinetics, Dynamics, Inertia Kinematics Is a Branch of Classical

    Course: PGPathshala-Biophysics Paper 1:Foundations of Bio-Physics Module 22: Kinematics, kinetics, dynamics, inertia Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics in physics in which one learns about the properties of motion such as position, velocity, acceleration, etc. of bodies or particles without considering the causes or the driving forces behindthem. Since in kinematics, we are interested in study of pure motion only, we generally ignore the dimensions, shapes or sizes of objects under study and hence treat them like point objects. On the other hand, kinetics deals with physics of the states of the system, causes of motion or the driving forces and reactions of the system. In a particular state, namely, the equilibrium state of the system under study, the systems can either be at rest or moving with a time-dependent velocity. The kinetics of the prior, i.e., of a system at rest is studied in statics. Similarly, the kinetics of the later, i.e., of a body moving with a velocity is called dynamics. Introduction Classical mechanics describes the area of physics most familiar to us that of the motion of macroscopic objects, from football to planets and car race to falling from space. NASCAR engineers are great fanatics of this branch of physics because they have to determine performance of cars before races. Geologists use kinematics, a subarea of classical mechanics, to study ‘tectonic-plate’ motion. Even medical researchers require this physics to map the blood flow through a patient when diagnosing partially closed artery. And so on. These are just a few of the examples which are more than enough to tell us about the importance of the science of motion.

    1 the Basic Set-Up 2 Poisson Brackets

    MATHEMATICS 7302 (Analytical Dynamics) YEAR 2016–2017, TERM 2 HANDOUT #12: THE HAMILTONIAN APPROACH TO MECHANICS These notes are intended to be read as a supplement to the handout from Gregory, Classical Mechanics, Chapter 14. 1 The basic set-up I assume that you have already studied Gregory, Sections 14.1–14.4. The following is intended only as a succinct summary. We are considering a system whose equations of motion are written in Hamiltonian form. This means that: 1. The phase space of the system is parametrized by canonical coordinates q =(q1,...,qn) and p =(p1,...,pn). 2. We are given a Hamiltonian function H(q, p, t). 3. The dynamics of the system is given by Hamilton’s equations of motion ∂H q˙i = (1a) ∂pi ∂H p˙i = − (1b) ∂qi for i =1,...,n. In these notes we will consider some deeper aspects of Hamiltonian dynamics. 2 Poisson brackets Let us start by considering an arbitrary function f(q, p, t). Then its time evolution is given by n df ∂f ∂f ∂f = q˙ + p˙ + (2a) dt ∂q i ∂p i ∂t i=1 i i X n ∂f ∂H ∂f ∂H ∂f = − + (2b) ∂q ∂p ∂p ∂q ∂t i=1 i i i i X 1 where the first equality used the definition of total time derivative together with the chain rule, and the second equality used Hamilton’s equations of motion. The formula (2b) suggests that we make a more general definition. Let f(q, p, t) and g(q, p, t) be any two functions; we then define their Poisson bracket {f,g} to be n def ∂f ∂g ∂f ∂g {f,g} = − .

    KINETICS Tool of ANSA for Multi Body Dynamics

    physics on screen KINETICS tool of ANSA for Multi Body Dynamics Introduction During product manufacturing processes it is important for engineers to have an overview of their design prototypes’ motion behavior to understand how moving bodies interact with respect to each other. Addressing this, the KINETICS tool has been incorporated in ANSA as a Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) solution. Through its use, engineers can perform motion analysis to study and analyze the dynamics of mechanical systems that change their response with respect to time. Through the KINETICS tool ANSA offers multiple capabilities that are accomplished by the functionality presented below. Model definition Multi-body models can be defined on any CAD data or on existing FE models. Users can either define their Multi-body models manually from scratch or choose to automatically convert an existing FE model setup (e.g. ABAQUS, LSDYNA) to a Multi- body model. Contact Modeling The accuracy and robustness of contact modeling are very important in MBD simulations. The implementation of algorithms based on the non-smooth dynamics theory of unilateral contacts allows users to study contact incidents providing accurate solutions that the ordinary regularized methodologies cannot offer. Furthermore, the selection between different friction types maximizes the realism in the model behavior.

    Kinematics and Kinetics of Elite Windmill Softball Pitching

    Kinematics and Kinetics of Elite Windmill Softball Pitching Sherry L. Werner,*† PhD, Deryk G. Jones,‡ MD, John A. Guido, Jr,† MHS, PT, SCS, ATC, CSCS, and Michael E. Brunet,† MD From the †Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana, and the ‡Sports Medicine Section, Ochsner Clinic Foundation, New Orleans, Louisiana Background: A significant number of time-loss injuries to the upper extremity in elite windmill softball pitchers has been docu- mented. The number of outings and pitches thrown in 1 week for a softball pitcher is typically far in excess of those seen in baseball pitchers. Shoulder stress in professional baseball pitching has been reported to be high and has been linked to pitch- ing injuries. Shoulder distraction has not been studied in an elite softball pitching population. Hypothesis: The stresses on the throwing shoulder of elite windmill pitchers are similar to those found for professional baseball pitchers. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Three-dimensional, high-speed (120 Hz) video data were collected on rise balls from 24 elite softball pitchers during the 1996 Olympic Games. Kinematic parameters related to pitching mechanics and resultant kinetics on the throwing shoulder were calculated. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to relate shoulder stress and pitching mechanics. Results: Shoulder distraction stress averaged 80% of body weight for the Olympic pitchers. Sixty-nine percent of the variabil- ity in shoulder distraction can be explained by a combination of 7 parameters related to pitching mechanics. Conclusion: Excessive distraction stress at the throwing shoulder is similar to that found in baseball pitchers, which suggests that windmill softball pitchers are at risk for overuse injuries.
