  4. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage.

  5. Coning (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coning_(aerodynamics)

    Coning is a phenomenon which affects helicopter rotor discs. The tips of the helicopter rotor blades move faster through the air than the parts of the blades near the hub, so they generate more lift, which pushes the tips of the blades upwards, resulting in a slight cone shape to the rotor disc. This is balanced by centrifugal force.

    The Nalimov tablebases, which use advanced compression techniques, require 7.05 GB of hard disk space for all 5-piece endings and 1.2 TB for 6-piece endings. [32] [54] The 7-piece Lomonosov tablebase requires 140 TB of storage space. Some computers play better overall if their memory is devoted instead to the ordinary search and evaluation ...

    Two shuffleboard players preparing a game on a ship's deck with cue-sticks. Shuffleboard is a game in which players use cues to push weighted discs, sending them gliding down a narrow court, with the purpose of having them come to rest within a marked scoring area. As a more generic term, it refers to the family of shuffleboard-variant games as ...

  9. Dissymmetry of lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissymmetry_of_lift

    The dissymmetry of lift of one rotor disc is cancelled by the dissymmetry of lift of the other rotor disc. [citation needed] Tandem rotor helicopters such as the CH-47 Chinook still suffer from dissymmetry of lift, because the rotors are offset from one another. Tandem-rotor helicopters are installed with automatic cyclic feathering systems.
