Nonlinear Characteristics of Revolute Joints with Clearance

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2013
http://dx.doi.org/10.5028/jatm.v5i3.236 The nonlinear contact characteristic of revolute joint with clearance can degrade the performance of deployable structure. In this article, tensile and compressive tests are adopted to investigate the accuracies of the simplest conformal model and nonconformal model for contact, which are used to calculate the ...

Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks critical for safe and ...

Wear prediction for dry revolute joint with clearance in multibody system by integrating dynamics model and wear model

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Solids and Structures
This work presents an investigation on wear prediction of multibody system including dry revolute clearance joint using a computational methodology. A procedure to analyze multibody system in which wear is present at revolute joints is presented.

POLYCENTRIC EXOPROSTHETIC KNEE JOINTS – EXTENT OF SHORTENING DURING SWING PHASE

open access: yesCanadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2020
BACKGROUND: An often assumed advantage of polycentric knee joints compared to monocentric ones is the improved ground clearance during swing phase due to the geometric shortening of the lower leg segment (LLS).

Antitrust Aspects of Transatlantic Investment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
In this diploma work a discrete cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS) is used as a model for the evolution of the electric field in a system of coupled waveguides with nonlinear index of refraction.The DNLS is inferred from Maxwell’s equations by ...

Health‐Related Quality of Life and Symptom Severity Among Patients With PIK3CA‐Related Overgrowth Spectrum: A Mixed‐Methods Study to Understand Real‐World Experience With Alpelisib Treatment

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) includes several rare overgrowth disorders resulting from somatic gain‐of‐function mutations in PIK3CA. Despite treatment advances, including the recent approval of alpelisib for PROS in the United States, literature detailing the patient experience with PROS is limited.

Posture and Dynamics Analysis of Hydraulic Support with Joint Clearance under Impact Load

open access: yesMachines, 2023
A hydraulic support is one of the key pieces of equipment in a fully mechanized coal-mining face. The shaft is seriously worn due to repeated support shifting in coal-mining operations, and the hydraulic support bears a large amount of impact load in the
