Additional information

This paper is dedicated to the memory of the distinguished mechanician and dear friend, Professor Claude Vallée. We learned a lot from Claude’s original mechanical ideas and his large scientific knowledge was very useful for us. He lost the battle with a serious illness in November 2014. Professor Claude Vallée will remain for ever in our souls and hearts.
