center of percussion [′sen·tər əv pər′kəsh·ən] (mechanics) If a rigid body, free to move in a plane, is struck a blow at a pointO,and the line of force is perpendicular to the line fromOto the center of mass, then the initial motion of the body is a rotation about the center of percussion relative toO;it can be shown to coincide with the center of oscillation relative toO.

| For existing nonlinear models, we can readily generate nonlinear large-signal S-parameters by performing a harmonic balance simulation. It showed, with predictable clarity, that what began in the 18th century as a model of symmetry, grace and harmonic balance still could be traced to its origins 200 years later - albeit with a tone of jaggedness and a deliciously spiky wit. 5 introduces Oscillator, Circuit Envelope, Periodic Transfer Function, Monte-Carlo and Loadpull analyses to its transient, harmonic balance and noise (time variant and phase) simulation capabilities. |
