Kinematic Analysis of Tensegrity Structures
… positions. Previous work has focused on analysis based on statics, dynamics, and virtual work approaches. This work considers tensegrity structures from a kinematic viewpoint. The kinematic approach leads to a better understanding of the conditions under which tensegrity structures exist …

A kinematic analysis of sign language
… context versus in isolation and identifying kinematic sign markers. To date, there has been little study of continuous signing kinematics; it was previously unknown if kinematic markers existed. Kinematic data were collected from a proficient signer with electromagnetic Flock of Birds sensors …

Kinematic Analysis of a Threaded Fastener Assembly
… was initially simplified as a two-dimensional analysis to gain an understanding about how contacts between the bolt and nut change during counter-clockwise motion. Tessellated solid models were used during three-dimensional collision analysis in such a way that the approximate location of the …

Kinematic Analysis Of A Two Body Articulated Robotic Vehicle
The kinematic analysis of an articulated twin body, four-wheel, robotic vehicle is presented. Polaris, a research platform and contending robotic vehicle in the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) at Virginia Tech, was redesigned in 2006 to improve the mobility of the vehicle by …

Kinematic analysis and animation of a variable geometry truss robot
In this thesis, forward and inverse kinematic equations are developed for a parallel, closed-loop manipulator known as the Variable Geometry Truss or VGT for short. Widely recognized as adaptive or collapsing structures for space and military applications, VGTs have not received due consideration …

A Kinematic Analysis and Design of a Continuously Variable Transmission
… a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The analysis process is implemented in a software package that can be used to tune a CVT for a given application. The analysis is accomplished through the use of kinematic principles as well as equations developed from basic energy balances. Although …

Methods for Kinematic Analysis and Optimization of Overactuated Serial and Parallel Structures
… of work presents methods for the optimization, analysis, and control of mixed serial-parallel structures known as SP-Stacks. A SP-Stack is a series of Stewart Platforms (SPs) linked via their top and bottom plates to create a serial chain of parallel mechanisms. SP-Stacks are unique in their …

Kinetic and 3D Kinematic analysis of netball movements: with and without prophylactic knee bracing
… is to identify any changes in the kinetics and kinematics of the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral loading experienced in healthy subjects during a range of functional movements with and without a prophylactic knee sleeve.

A Kinematic Analysis of the Gallop of the Horse (Biomechanics, Gait, Equine, Locomotion, Canter)
A cinematographic approach was used in a kinematic analysis of the equine transverse gallop gait. The stride characteristics of 4 American Quarter Horse fillies were used as a model. Horses were approximately 30 months of age and had been raised in similar environments. During a 12-week preparatory …

Kinematic analysis of compensation movements of upper limb amputees and able-bodied individuals during grasping movements
… a patient. This study aimed to investigate the kinematic analysis of compensation movements of transradial amputees compared to able-bodied individuals during grasping movements and performing Clothespin Relocation Test (CPRT). The study included kinematic analysis of the shoulder …

Kinematic Analysis of Gait and Deep Knee Flexion for Pre- and Post-Operative Total Knee Arthroplasty
… 14-39% of patients. This study collected knee kinematics before and after surgery using stereo radiography for precise measurement of gait and deep knee flexion activities. Results showed healthy knee kinematics were not restored and no significant changes could be seen from OA kinematics in …
