The Foucault Pendulum (FP) is a classical mechanical system, particularly interesting because of its sensibility to the rotational motion of Earth,
for which has been installed in many scientific laboratories and museums. However, its motion faces two difficulties. The
first is connected to its decreasing energy, forcing the maintenance staff to re...

The through-silicon-via (TSV) introduces new parasitic components into 3-D ICs. This paper presents a novel method of extracting the parasitic capacitance between TSVs and their surrounding wires. For the first time, we examine electrical field (E-field) sharing effects from multiple TSVs and neighboring wires and their impact on timing, power, and...
In this paper, for the first time, we model and extract the parasitic capacitance between TSVs and their surrounding wires in 3D IC. For a fast and accurate full-chip extraction, we propose a pattern-matching-based algorithm that considers the physical dimensions of TSVs and neighboring wires and captures their field interactions. Our extraction me...

This paper aims at evaluating the dependence of double-layer capacitance at a platinum wire electrode both on concentrations of four kinds of halide ions and the dc potential in the double-layer region (from 0.0 to 0.4 V vs. Ag|AgCl) from a viewpoint of frequency-dispersion of the capacitance. Attention was paid to shape of the double layer capacit...
Network-on-chip (NoC) has emerged to tackle different on-chip challenges and has satisfied different demands in terms of high performance, economical and reliable interconnect implementation. However, a merely metal-based interconnect reaches performance bound with the relentless technology scaling. Especially, it displayed a bottleneck to meet the...

The present paper addresses the derivation of a 3 DOF mathematical model of a spherical pendulum attached to a crane boom tip for uniform slewing motion of the crane. The governing nonlinear DAE-based system for crane boom uniform slewing has been proposed, numerically solved, and experimentally verified. The proposed nonlinear and linearized models have been derived with an introduction of Cartesian coordinates. The linearized model with small angle assumption has an analytical solution. The relative and absolute payload trajectories have been derived. The amplitudes of load oscillations, which depend on computed initial conditions, have been estimated. The dependence of natural frequencies on the transport inertia forces and gravity forces has been computed. The conservative system, which contains first time derivatives of coordinates without oscillation damping, has been derived. The dynamic analogy between crane boom-driven payload swaying motion and Foucault’s pendulum motion has been grounded and outlined. For a small swaying angle, good agreement between theoretical and averaged experimental results was obtained.
The present educational research is focused on the solution of didactic problem of an engineering-friendly description and explanation of the dynamics and control of Foucault pendulum-like systems, which have arisen from practical problems of boom crane dynamics in lifting-and-handling machinery and transport. An educational actuality of the present research is grounded on the absence of a proper description and explanation of this topic in available textbooks and scientific articles in the fields of classical mechanics, control engineering, transport, lifting-and-handling machinery, engineering education, mechanical engineering education, and classical mechanics education. Among learning tools this article uses the following educational techniques: Modelica-assisted simulation with acausal equation-based freeware computer system JModelica.org with Optimica extension, physical simulation techniques, allegoric fairy tale analogy, didactic transposition method and a complex of individual Modelica-enhanced students’ computational assignments. The proposed educational approach provides a broadening of students’ ideas concerning the applicability of abstract physical concepts to the theory and practice of freeware-assisted mechanical engineering education of undergraduate and graduate students majoring in dynamics and control of guided lifting-and-handling machinery. Research finding, concepts and ideas of this research have found a practical educational application through the formulation of practical computational problems of term design works, planning of MSc degree students’ works, and freeware-enhanced curriculum of Donbass State Engineering Academy, Kramatorsk, Ukraine.
