Analysis of shear-transfer actions on one-way RC members based on measured cracking pattern and failure kinematics

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Stefano Campana, Andrea Anastasi

Shear in one-way reinforced concrete (RC) members is transferred in cracked concrete members by a number of actions such as aggregate interlock, residual tensile stresses, dowelling action, inclination of compression chord and transverse reinforcement (if ...

A Minimal Set of Coordinates for Describing Humanoid Shoulder Motion

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

The kinematics of the anatomical shoulder are analysed and modelled as a parallel mechanism similar to a Stewart platform. A new method is proposed to describe the shoulder kinematics with minimal coordinates and solve the indeterminacy. The minimal coordi ...

State Estimation for Legged Robots on Unstable and Slippery Terrain

Roland Siegwart, Marco Hutter

This paper presents a state estimation approach for legged robots based on stochastic filtering. The key idea is to extract information from the kinematic constraints given through the intermittent contacts with the ground and to fuse this information with ...

A system to measure the kinematics during the entire ski jump sequence using inertial sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

Three-dimensional analysis of the entire sequence in ski jumping is recommended when studying the kinematics or evaluating performance. Camera-based systems which allow three-dimensional kinematics measurement are complex to set-up and require extensive po ...

Control approaches for robotic knee exoskeleton and their effects on human motion

Tadej Petric

In this paper we compare three noninvasive control methods for a robotic knee exoskeleton and asses their kinematic influences on the repetitive squatting motions of able-bodied human subjects. The motion of the subjects wearing the knee exoskeleton was al ...

Soft Cell Simulator: A tool to study Soft Multi-Cellular Robots

Dario Floreano, Andrea Maesani, Jürg Markus Germann, Manuel Stöckli

Modular or multi-cellular robots hold the promise to adapt their morphology to task and environment. However, research in modular robotics has traditionally been limited to mechanically non-adaptive systems due to hard building blocks and rigid connection ...

Soft tissue artifact assessment during treadmill walking in subjects with total knee arthroplasty

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

Accurate measurement of knee kinematics during functional activities suffers mainly from soft tissue artifact (STA): the combination of local surface deformations and rigid movement of markers relative to the underlying bone (also called rigid STA movement ...

Inertial measurement unit and biomechanical analysis of swimming: an update

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi

The biomechanical analysis of swimming always faced impeding factors of measurement in the aquatic environment. Our current knowledge of swimming locomotion is very much owing to employing video cameras to capture the body kinematics. Nevertheless, the rec ...

Instrumented Knee Prosthesis for Force and Kinematics Measurements

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Pierre-André Farine, Peter Ryser, Catherine Dehollain, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, Steve Tanner, Willyan Hasenkamp Carreira, Shafqat Ali, Oguz Atasoy, Matteo Simoncini

In this work, we present the general concept of an instrumented smart knee prosthesis for in-vivo measurement of forces and kinematics. This system can be used for early monitoring of the patient after implantation and prevent possible damage to the prosth ...
