Force Plate Studies of Equine Biomechanics
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1976SUMMARY The force plate can measure a wide range of effects in the horse. The same instrument can record forces from more than a ton in the galloping animal to 25 g associated with the action of the heart. In all probability, the force plate will develop into a valuable clinical instrument.

Forced Motion of Elastic Plates
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1968Abstract A general method is presented for the solution of dynamic boundary-value problems of elastic plates subjected to time-dependent normal surface loads and/or time-dependent boundary conditions. As a demonstration of the method, an explicit, exact solution of the axisymmetric response of a ring plate is presented.

Accuracy of determining the point of force application with piezoelectric force plates
Journal of Biomechanics, 1990The accuracy of determining the point of force application with piezoelectric force plates, as specified by the manufacturer, is lower than needed for certain applications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a commonly used plate (KISTLER type 9287) and to improve it by proposing a correction algorithm.

A force plate based method for the calibration of force/torque sensors
Journal of Biomechanics, 2012This study describes a novel calibration method for six-degrees-of-freedom force/torque sensors (FTsensors) using a pre-calibrated force plate (FP) as a reference measuring device. In this calibration method, the FTsensor is rigidly connected to a FP and force/torque data are synchronously recorded while a dynamic functional loading procedure is ...

Evaluation of the forces that drive the plates
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1977Motion of the lithospheric plates is a manifestation of convection in which the plates themselves play a major role. The relative importance of various forces acting on the plates is evaluated by allowing each potentially important force to have an unknown sign and magnitude that is solved for by requiring that each plate be in static equilibrium. This

On the forces not moving lithospheric plates
Tectonophysics, 1974Abstract Plume tectonics is examined as an alternative to thermal convection as a mechanism of continental drift and plate movements. The concept of plumes seems difficult to reconcile with the principles of mechanics.

Forced vibrations of infinite plates
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1988A number of different analytical expressions are discussed for the forced out-of-plane motion of an infinite plate. The plate is excited on one side with a harmonic pressure at a fairly low frequency. The main result of the discussion is that a region of applicability in the frequency/wavenumber plane is defined for each expression.

Forced extensional vibrations of plates
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1973The forced extensional vibrations of plates is investigated within the framework of the Kane-Mindlin theory for the high frequency extensional vibrations of isotropic elastic plates. The solution to problems with time dependent surface and boundary conditions is determined according to Williams' method. The resulting equations are applied to the forced

Force Plates and Related Technologies
2020Newton’s three laws of motion are the foundations for classical mechanics; these laws provide evidence of the value of measuring the forces applied to the human body. The transducers available for measuring forces are reviewed, along with their key properties and methods for suitable calibration.
