Flottement et divergence statique. Lorsqu'une pale(articulée ou encastrée) est animée d’un mouvement de battement, elle est soumise à des efforts inertiels qui s’appliquent le long de l'axe massique(lieu des centres de gravité). Parallèlement, la pale est soumise à des efforts aérodynamiques qui s’appliquent le long de l'axe aérodynamique(lieu des foyers) […] La divergence statique se rencontre dans les conditions suivantes : la rigidité en torsion de la pale est très faible et la pale est centrée arrière(axe massique situé nettement en arrière de l'axe élastique). Lorsque la pale est déformée en battement, l'effort centrifuge génère un moment de torsion qui est suffisant, en raison de la faible rigidité en torsion, pour provoquer une augmentation significative de l'angle d’incidence, pouvant amener le décrochage de la pale. Ce type d’oscillation peut se rencontrer par exemple dans le cas de rupture de la commande de pas d’une machine à pas variable dont les pales sont centrées arrière. Au cours d’un tour du rotor, la pale qui est alors «folle» autour de l'axe de pas(raideur nulle en torsion) décroche et sort du décrochage à la fréquence de rotation de l'éolienne. 1, record 5, French, - divergence%20statique

Dans le cas d’une machine [éolienne] régulée au décrochage et dans des conditions de fonctionnement proches du décrochage, une modification rapide de la vitesse du vent(rafale) peut initier un mouvement d’oscillation en torsion, combinant les effets du décrochage dynamique(dû à la variation instationnaire de l'angle d’incidence), de la force centrifuge et de l'élasticité intrinsèque de la pale.

From the milling separator, the grain passes to a gravity separator. This machine separates materials that may be similar in shape and size but that differ in specific gravity, such as wheat and small stones. Uncleaned wheat is "floated" on a metal screen which is oscillating rapidly. The grain moves down the sloping screen to the outlet while the stones are propelled toward the head of the screen by the oscillating movement, and collected separately. Although only a very small percentage of stones may be present, their removal is important since they cause extensive damage to processing machinery. Also, if they are ground along with the wheat, the undesirable fine mineral matter will end up in the flour. 1, record 16, English, - metal%20screen

Sismographe consistant en une masse rigide mobile autour d’un axe de suspension. Lorsque le support d’un pendule subit un déplacement brusque, la masse tend à rester immobile en vertu de son inertie et la partie mobile tourne autour de l'axe d’oscillation conjugué de l'axe en suspension. Le mouvement relatif entre la masse et le support est amplifié par des moyens mécaniques, optiques, électromagnétiques ou électroniques. Pour éviter que ces systèmes n’ entrent en oscillation avec leur période propre, on introduit un amortissement magnétique proportionnel à la vitesse.
