Deformable templates using large deformation kinematics
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 1996A general automatic approach is presented for accommodating local shape variation when mapping a two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) template image into alignment with a topologically similar target image.

Kinematics of parallel kinematic machine Exechon
2009 International Conference on Information and Automation, 2009Due to the potential advantages of heavy load, high speed, and high precision, hundreds of parallel kinematic machines have been proposed. However, only a few of them have been practically applied, and one of the recently-developed parallel kinematic machines is the Exechon machine tool.

Modal kinematics for multisection continuum arms
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2015This paper presents a novel spatial kinematic model for multisection continuum arms based on mode shape functions (MSF). Modal methods have been used in many disciplines from finite element methods to structural analysis to approximate complex and ...

Although patellofemoral pain (PFP) is recognized as being one of the most common disorders of the lower extremity, treatment guidelines and underlying rationales remain vague and controversial.

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of particle kinematics. Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that describes the motion of physical bodies. It is distinguished from dynamics, which considers relationships between the motions of physical bodies and the forces (pushes or pulls) that are associated with those motions. The chapter also

Kinematic Influence Coefficient and Kinematics Analysis
2012The concept of kinematic influence coefficient (KIC) of mechanism was proposed by Tesar et al. [1–4]. Benedict and Tesar [1, 2] proposed a completely general model formulation using first- and second-order KIC. This theory has been extensively applied to both open-loop and closed-loop planar mechanisms [3].

We begin the study of fluid mechanics by pointing out the differences between fluids and solids and by describing a fluid flow in terms of the motion of elementary fluid parcels. As the volume of a parcel becomes infinitesimal, the parcel reduces to a point particle and the average velocity of the parcel reduces to the local fluid velocity computed ...

Cars have to negotiate corners. But not all cars do that the same way. This is particularly evident in race cars, where the ability to negotiate a corner is a crucial aspect to minimize the lap time. In this chapter the kinematics of a vehicle while taking a corner is exploited. At first sight taking a corner looks quite a trivial task. But designing a

In this chapter, we continue the study of kinematics by considering in more detail the motion of fluid parcels, by deriving expressions for the areal, volumetric, and mass flow rates across lines and surfaces drawn in a fluid, and by developing numerical methods for evaluating kinematic variables of interest in terms of derivatives and integrals of the
