RISA Three Dimensional Ankle Kinetostatic Model to Simulate Loaded and Unloaded Joint Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A kinetostatic model able to replicate both the natural unloaded motion of the tibiotalar (or ankle) joint and the joint behavior under external loads is presented. The model is developed as the second step of a sequential ...
A New 3D Mechanism for Modeling the Passive Motion of the Tibia–Fibula–Ankle Complex
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A great number of kinematic, kinetostatic, and dynamic models of human diarthrodial joints, such as the hip, the knee, and the ankle, have been presented in the literature. On the contrary, ...
A New Kinematic Model of the Passive Motion of the Knee Inclusive of the Patella
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knee models that can reproduce the motion of the joint are considerably attractive in many applications like prosthesis and orthosis design, rehabilitation, and setting and design of surgical ...
A Fast and Robust Hybrid Method for the Solution of the 6-3 Stewart–Gough Platform Direct Position Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A robust and accurate hybrid method for the real-time estimation of the actual configuration of 6-3 Stewart–Gough platforms is presented. The method is hybrid since on one hand it requires the ...
A New Technique for Clearance Influence Analysis in Spatial Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a technique for assessing the influence that clearance in the kinematic pairs of a mechanism has on accuracy. The technique works for both planar and spatial, open-, and ...
A Family of 3-DOF Translational Parallel Manipulators1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article addresses parallel manipulators with fewer than six degrees of freedom, whose use may prove valuable in those applications in which a higher mobility is uncalled for. In particular, ...
Position Analysis of a New Family of 3-DOF Translational Parallel Manipulators*
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents the position analysis of a new family of 3-limbed 3-dof parallel manipulators, whose output links exhibit a motion of pure translation with respect to the base. Each limb ...
Real-Time Direct Position Analysis of Parallel Spherical Wrists by Using Extra Sensors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents an algorithm for the real-time evaluation of the actual end-effector orientation of general parallel spherical wrists. Conceptually, the method relies on evidence that the pose ...
Singularity-Free Evolution From One Configuration to Another in Serial and Fully-Parallel Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Among the several ways adopted for the characterization of manipulator performances is identification of the typologies of maneuvers allowed by the manipulator kinematic arrangement. The multiplicity ...
Closed-Form Direct Position Analysis of a 5–5 Parallel Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents the closed form direct displacement analysis for a class of Stewart platform-type parallel mechanisms whose general feature consists of six legs which meet five distinct points ...
