Higher-order continuation method for the rigid-body kinematic design of compliant mechanisms

Compliant mechanisms are of great interest in precision engineering. In this paper we propose a higher order continuation method to help their rigid-body kinematic design. The method helps to investigate the choice of a mechanism configuration through the ...

Calculation of the General Number of Imposed Constraints of Kinematic Chains

Jamie Paik, Alexey Fomin

The study provides derivation and application of novel formula for the calculation of general imposed constraints for kinematic chains (including mechanisms and zero-degrees-of-freedom Assur groups) depending on the types of kinematic pairs and numbers of ...

A simple tool to measure spasticity in spinal cord injury subjects

Maurizio Molinari, Arash Arami, Etienne Burdet

This work presents a wearable device and the algorithms for quantitative modelling of joint spasticity and its application in a pilot group of subjects with different levels of spinal cord injury. The device comprises light-weight instrumented handles to m ...

Modelling of the human shoulder as a parallel mechanism without constraints

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

The synthesis of shoulder kinematics, either for simulation in a model or imitation in a robot, is a challenging task because of the contact between shoulder blade and ribcage. As the shoulder moves, the shoulder blade glides over the ribcage. In kinematic ...

This paper is aimed at addressing the need for physically accurate and computationally effective models for predicting the response of shear-dominated reinforced concrete walls. The presented theory is based on a three-degree-of-freedom kinematic model for ...

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is one of the most challenging techniques for robot designers due to the limited size of access points, the high miniaturization level, and the dexterity needed for performing surgical tasks. Conversely, only a few microfab ...

We analyze the observability properties of the kinematic model of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) moving in 3D, under the influence of ocean currents, using range and depth measurements. The results obtained shed light into the types of trajectories ...

Background and Objective. Kinematic analysis of reaching movements is increasingly used to evaluate upper extremity function after cerebrovascular insults in humans and has also been applied to rodent models. Such analyses can require time-consuming frame- ...

Generation Process and Analysis of Innovative Timberfabric Vaults

Yves Weinand, Laurent Humbert, Markus Hudert, Etienne Albenque

Timberfabric structures, developed at IBOIS, are a new family of timber constructions based on the logic and principles of man-made fabrics. Modular elements called “Timberfabric Modules” are generated by curving and connecting two thin wooden panels. This ...

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 ...
