Kinematic Constraints in Nonlinear Elasticity (Incompressibility, Perturbation, Convergence)
… for a material which approximately satisfies a kinematic constraint are investigated for the particular case of an elastic material.

Vertical axis wind turbine with continuous blade angle adjustment
… Design considerations for implementing the kinematic constraint and for blade adjustment to account for changes in wind direction are discussed, and the author's prototype is presented. Testing of the prototype demonstrated that implementation of the kinematic constraint is feasible, and …

Dynamic analysis of composite beams using shear-deformable finite elements
… In addition, the elements can impose a kinematic constraint on the entire beam or on individual layers within the beam. This study refers to elements which employ the latter approach as ""stacked elements""."

Computationally-efficient path planning algorithms in obstacle-rich environments based on visibility graph method
… turns at comers, it is infeasible due to the kinematic constraints of a robot. Kinematic constraints limit the degree of freedom of the robot. In order to address the high computation time, an improved VG called Iterative Equilateral Spaces Oriented Visibility Graph (IESOVG) has been developed …

Design of a Mold Insert Alignment System for Double-Sided Hot Embossing of Microfluidic Devices Using Kinematic Constraints
… A cost effective alignment system based on kinematic constraints was designed, fabricated, and tested to determine the accuracy and precision of the system. Double-sided substrates were hot embossed and characterized to evaluate the effectiveness of the design.

On-orbit inspection of a rotating object using a moving observer
… and visual odometry are used to find pose constraints and build a pose graph. In addition to adding pose constraint factors between successive frames, loop closure is performed between temporally non-adjacent frames. A kinematic constraint on the target-fixed frame, resulting from rigidity …
