Design and Validation of an Active Headrest System with Integrated Sensing in Rear-End Crash Scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
Rear-end collisions represent a major concern in automotive safety, particularly due to the risk of whiplash injuries among vehicle occupants. The accurate simulation of occupant kinematics during such impacts is critical for the development of advanced ...

A Review of Gait Phase Detection Algorithms for Lower Limb Prostheses

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Fast and accurate gait phase detection is essential to achieve effective powered lower-limb prostheses and exoskeletons. As the versatility but also the complexity of these robotic devices increases, the research on how to make gait detection algorithms ...

A Screw-Axis Approach to the Stability of Two-Wheeled Vehicles

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The stability of two-wheeled vehicles is predominantly characterized by the well-known weave and wobble vibration modes, which have been extensively investigated in the literature, mainly in terms of their frequencies and damping ratios. In this work the

An intern-sufficient cloud for large-scale multi-robot systems and its application in multitarget navigation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2021
Due to generally limited computing capability of an individual robot, cloud-based robotic systems are increasingly used. However, applications in large-scale multi-robot systems will be hindered by communication congestion and consequent lack of ...

Flexible multibody impact simulations based on the isogeometric analysis approach

open access: yes, 2022
Usually detailed impact simulations are based on isoparametric finite element models. For the inclusion in multibody dynamics simulation, e.g. in the framework of the floating frame of reference, a previous model reduction is necessary.

Dealing with modularity of multibody models [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2015
In the current paper, we propose to adapt a descriptive method used in robotics to describe and simulate a skeletal model and make it modular. We also propose an illustration of the descriptive method by analyzing the elbow kinematics of an overhead throwing with two different forearm descriptions.

Pantograph catenary dynamic optimisation based on advanced multibody and finite element co-simulation tools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper presents recent developments undertaken by the SNCF Innovation & Research Department on numerical modelling of pantograph catenary interaction. It aims at describing an efficient co-simulation process between finite element (FE) and multibody (
