On minimizing cyclists' ascent times: Part II
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1
We formulate an optimization of a bicycle ascent time under the constraints of the average, maximum, and minimum powers. In contrast to the first part of this study, we do not rest…
On minimizing cyclists' ascent times
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1
We prove that, given an average power, the ascent time is minimized if a cyclist maintains a constant ground speed regardless of the slope. Herein, minimizing the time is equivalen…
Modelling of a cyclist's power for time trials on a velodrome
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1
We formulate a phenomenological model to study the power applied by a cyclist on a velodrome\, -- \,for individual timetrials\, -- \,taking into account the straights, circular arc…
Guided waves as superposition of body waves
David R. Dalton, Michael A. Slawinski, Theodore Stanoev
We illustrate properties of guided waves in terms of a superposition of body waves. In particular, we consider the Love and SH waves. Body-wave propagation at postcritical angles--…
On deformation-gradient tensors as two-point tensors in curvilinear coordinates
Andrey Melnikov, Michael A. Slawinski
We derive a general expression for the deformation-gradient tensor by invoking the standard definition of a gradient of a vector field in curvilinear coordinates. This expression s…
