Twenty-five years of natural coordinates

In the early eighties, the author and co-workers created and further developed the natural coordinates to describe the motion of 2-D and 3-D multibody systems. Natural coordinates do not need angles or angular parameters to define orientation, leading to constant inertia matrices and to the simplest form of the constraint equations. Natural coordinates are composed by the Cartesian coordinates of some points and the Cartesian components of some unit vectors distributed on the different bodies of the system. The points and vectors can be located in the joints, being shared by contiguous bodies, decreasing or even eliminating the need to set joint constraints and reducing the total number of variables. However, other authors prefer not to share variables in order to get even simpler equations and to keep a bigger decoupling of equations, which is preferable in some cases. In this paper the history of natural coordinates is reviewed, as well as the main contributions coming from other research groups. In the second part of the paper some application areas in which natural coordinates can be particularly advantageous are examined. Commemorative Contribution.

对三种天然气压缩因子计算方法：经典热力学法、SGERG-88法、SY／T6143—1996法进行了介绍并对计算结果进行了对比，第一种方法的计算精度远不能满足贸易结算的要求，我国现行的第二种计算方法与ISO标准方法相比，在10℃以上的温度范围内基本相符，但在10℃以下的低温段则偏差较大。由此说明，我国目前所实施的计量标准与国际上认可的ISO标准方法之间有较大的偏差；同时，对不需要在线计算的场合，提出了一套基于数据拟合的计算体积修正系数的高精度近似方法，可提高体积计量仪表的性价比。

The effect of fibre alignment on composite strength: II. The strength of angle-ply laminates

Experiments have been carried out on relatively wide angle-ply laminate samples with very short gauge lengths. These proved to be very much stronger than samples tested in earlier work, and which form the basis for our present design with these materials. It is highly likely that the early results for strength were more indicative of edge effects than true laminate strength. This is confirmed by data from tests on pressurized tubes. A review of the literature on this shows that such tests produced results which can be an order of magnitude higher than the early laminate tests. Thus our design calculations could well be severely underestimating the potential strength of angle-ply laminates. This may be having serious consequences for the aerospace industry, through the use of design criteria for strength which may be too conservative. Single-fibre experiments may pave the way for more realistic estimates of angle-ply laminate strengths. These indicate that a simple one-third power rule can be used to estimate the potential strength. However, this is purely ad hoc at present, and needs to be put on a firmer footing through both theoretical and experimental studies. Furthermore, if this approach is adopted, edge effects will still have to be allowed for, and estimated on the basis of the aspect ratio of the part.
