A benchmark problem with singularities for multibody system dynamics formulations with constraints
(Springer, 2023-04-19)
[Abstract]
When performing the numerical integration of multibody systems (MBS) dynamics, it is possible to choose from a wide variety of methods and implementations. Selecting the most appropriate option for a particular ...
Determination of the 3D Human Spine Posture from Wearable Inertial Sensors and a Multibody Model of the Spine
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] Determination of spine posture is of great interest for the effective prevention, evaluation, treatment and evolution monitoring of spinal disorders. Limitations of traditional imaging systems, including cost, ...
Roll Angle Estimation of a Motorcycle through Inertial Measurements
(MDPI, 2021-10)
[Abstract] Currently, the interest in creating autonomous driving vehicles and progressively more sophisticated active safety systems is growing enormously, being a prevailing importance factor for the end user when choosing ...
Use of performance indicators in the analysis of running gait impacts
(2018)
[Summary]
Foot-ground impact is a critical event during the running cycle. In this work, three performance indicators were used to characterize foot-ground impact intensity: the effective preimpact kinetic energy, ...
Editorial of Special Issue Combining Sensors and Multibody Models for Applications in Vehicles, Machines, Robots and Humans
(MDPI, 2021-09)
[Abstract] The combination of physical sensors and computational models to provide additional information about system states, inputs and/or parameters, in what is known as virtual sensing, is becoming more and more popular ...
The use of wearable inertial sensors and workplace-based exercises to reduce lateral epicondylitis in the workstation of a textile logistics center
(MDPI, 2023-05-27)
[Abstract]: People whose jobs involve repetitive motions of the wrist and forearm can suffer from lateral epicondylitis, which is a significant burden on both the individual and the employer due to treatment costs, reduced ...
Comparison of Several Muscle Modeling Alternatives for Computationally Intensive Algorithms in Human Motion Dynamics
(Springer, 2022-04-05)
[Abstract] Several approaches are currently employed to address the predictive simulation of human motion, having in common their high computational demand. Muscle modeling seems to be an essential ingredient to provide ...
Effect of gravity in wheel/terrain interaction models
(2020)
[Abstract] Predicting the motion of wheeled robots in unstructured environments is an important and challenging problem. The study of planetary exploration rovers on soft terrain introduces the additional need to consider ...
Energy Expenditure Estimation During Crutch-Orthosis-Assisted Gait of a Spinal-Cord-Injured Subject
(Frontiers Media SA, 2019)
[Abstract] Determination of muscle energy expenditure by computer modeling and analysis is of great interest to estimate the whole body energy consumption, while avoiding the complex character of in vivo experimental ...
Direct Sensitivity Analysis of Multibody Systems With Holonomic and Nonholonomic Constraints via an Index-3 Augmented Lagrangian Formulation With Projections
(2018)
[Abstract] Optimizing the dynamic response of mechanical systems is often a necessary step during the early stages of product development cycle. This is a complex problem that requires to carry out the sensitivity analysis ...
