Shape of an elastica under growth restricted by friction
Marcell G. Horváth, András Á. Sipos, Péter L. Várkonyi
We investigate the quasi-static growth of elastic fibers in the presence of dry or viscous friction. An unusual form of destabilization beyond a critical length is described. In or…
Explaining the elongated shape of 'Oumuamua by the Eikonal abrasion model
Gábor Domokos, András A. Sipos, Gyula M. Szabó +1
The photometry of the minor body with extrasolar origin (1I/2017 U1) 'Oumuamua revealed an unprecedented shape: Meech et al. (2017) reported a shape elongation b/a close to 1/10, w…
Partial reconstruction of the rotational motion of Philae spacecraft during its landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Tamás Baranyai, András Balázs, Péter L. Várkonyi
This paper presents a partial reconstruction of the rotational dynamics of the Philae spacecraft upon landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as part of ESA's Rosetta mission. W…
Patterns, transitions and the role of leaders in the collective dynamics of a simple robotic flock
Norbert Tarcai, Csaba Virágh, Dániel Ábel +4
We have developed an experimental setup of very simple self-propelled robots to observe collective motion emerging as a result of inelastic collisions only. A circular pool and com…
