Recent and paleo-stresses at the northern margin of the Black Sea and the Crimea Mountain in Meso-Cenozoic—Quarter (according to mechanisms of earthquakes foci and field tectonophysical data)

Геофизический журнал, 2018
Recent stress fields at the northern margin of the Black Sea have been characterized on the base of 32 mechanisms of the earthquakes foci. Orientations of compression axes in the foci give evidence that present-day tectonic process takes place under ...

Optimization of a Cost-Constrained, Hydraulic Knee Prosthesis Using a Kinematic Analysis Model

Biomechanics, 2023
Approximately 82% of amputees prefer microprocessor knees (MPKs) to the passive alternatives. However, the cost of these devices makes them inaccessible for many patients.

Robotic ankle control can provide appropriate assistance throughout the gait cycle in healthy adults

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022
Ankle foot orthoses are mainly applied to provide stability in the stance phase and adequate foot clearance in the swing phase; however, they do not sufficiently assist during the entire gait cycle.

Kinematic variations due to changes in pace during men's and women's 5 km road running [PDF]

, 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate variations in kinematic parameters in men's and women's 5 km road racing. Athletes often vary their pace and changes particularly tend to occur towards the end of a race due to fatigue and sprint finishes ...

Inverse kinematic analysis for triple-octahedron variable-geometry truss manipulators

, 2001
In this paper, a new triple-octahedron variable-geometry truss manipulator is presented. Its inverse kinematic solutions in closed form are studied. An input-output displacement equation in one output variable is derived.
