Abstract: Hyperdual numbers (HDNs) are applied in this paper to multibody kinematics. First, the hyperdual angle that encompasses a body's position, orientation, as well as its velocity, is defined as an element of the hyperdual ...

Abstract: This paper describes an analytical tool for the design of thinwall tubes for passage through minimal radius of curvature trajectory. The design is based on a model of thinwall tube buckling under pure bending. An extended ...

Abstract: Investigations of spinal disc replacement options have been conducted for several decades but, as yet, the suggested solutions have not been proven to correctly preserve the natural joint motion. This paper focuses on a ...
