POLYCENTRIC EXOPROSTHETIC KNEE JOINTS – EXTENT OF SHORTENING DURING SWING PHASE
Canadian 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).

Numerical simulation of a model of vibrations with joint clearance [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology, 2008 Motivated by the problem of vibrations due to joint clearance between components in complex mechanical systems, we study in this paper the motion of a beam between rigid obstacles. We assume that the material is elastic and the motion is planar.

Clearance of proteoglycan from joint cavities. [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 1987 The rate of loss from the synovial cavity of proteoglycan subunit, a major constituent of cartilage, has been measured in rabbits with and without experimental arthritis. The effect of aggregation between proteoglycan and hyaluronic acid upon the rate of elimination has also been investigated.

Dynamic Response of Multibody Systems with Multiple Clearance Joints [PDF]
Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, 2011 A general methodology for the dynamic modeling and analysis of planar multibody systems with multiple clearance joints is presented. The inter-connecting bodies that constitute a real physical mechanical joint are modeled as colliding components, whose dynamic behavior is influenced by the geometric, physical and mechanical properties of the contacting

Nonlinear Dynamic Behaviour of The Mechanisms Having Clearance and Compliant Joints [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2022 In this paper, the rigid four-bar linkage with clearance joint has been examined. The effects of design parameters have been analyzed separately. Considering chaotic behaviour and undesirable vibrations of the system induced by joint clearance, it has ...
