Berry mechanism

The Berry mechanism, or Berry pseudorotation mechanism, is a type of vibration causing molecules of certain geometries to isomerize by exchanging the two axial ligands (see Figure at right) for two of the equatorial ones. It is the most widely accepted mechanism for pseudorotation and most commonly occurs in trigonal bipyramidal molecules such as PF5, though it can also occur in molecules with a square pyramidal geometry. The Berry mechanism is named after R. Stephen Berry, who first described this mechanism in 1960. (Wikipedia).

Wedge mechanism 16

Double wedge mechanism. The green input slider and the blue output one move in opposite directions. The pink wedge moves perpendicularly to them This mechanism can be applied for rotating clamping device. STEP files of this video: http://www.mediafire.com/file/5xtvz0vcxxxwn8t/Wedge16STEP.

Slider crank mechanism with satellite pulley

The diameter of the big pulley is double the one of the green pulley. The length of each crank = R The slider's stroke = 4R The belt should be toothed. It is possible to use chain drive instead of belt one. STEP files of this video: http://www.mediafire.com/file/frn0cmys8sedruy/SliderCrank

Gear slider crank mechanism 1

The hole center on the orange lever reciprocates according the motion rule (the green closed curve) that differs from the one of a ordinary slider-crank mechanism. This mechanism is applied in wire drawing machines for guiding wire (in red) to its coil. STEP files of this video: https://

Toggle linkage 1a

Mechanism for a stone crusher. It has two toggle linkages in series to obtain a high mechanical advantage. When green link reaches the top of its stroke, it comes into toggle with the pink crank. At the same time two blue links come into toggle. This multiplication results in a very large

Ryan Thorngren - Higher Berry Phase and Diabolical Points in Phase Diagrams of Many-body Systems

The Berry phase is a well-known phenomenon in quantum mechanics with many profound implications. It describes the response of the phase of the wavefunction to the adiabatic evolution of system parameters, defining a U(1) connection on the parameter space. In many-body systems described by
