Full textAbstract:
Slender-bodied organisms swimming with whole-body undulations exhibit what appears to be a high degree of kinematic parameter conservation, which is independent of body size. However, organisms of very different sizes swim in fundamentally different physical realms, owing to the relative scaling of viscous and inertial fluid stresses as a function of size and speed. In light of the size-dependent fluid forces, the kinematic constancy suggests three hypotheses: (1) swimming organisms adopt a single "ideal" swimming mode requiring the modification of muscle forces or motor patterns through ontogeny, (2) swimming kinematics are determined predominantly by the passive mechanical interaction of the body and the fluid, resulting in a single swimming mode independent of absolute body size, or (3) while undulatory swimming kinematics may be similar between organisms, there are important size-dependent kinematic differences. In this study, I address this issue by examining the swimming kinematics and dynamics of the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis L. as a function of body size. Over a 5-fold increase in body length, the relative amplitude of body undulations during swimming did not change; however, swimming speed, propulsive wave speed, and propulsive wave frequency all decreased, while propulsive wave number increased slightly, strongly supporting hypothesis 2. To determine the source of the observed size-dependent swimming kinematics, I manipulated the dynamic viscosity of the organism's fluid environment to alter the constraints placed on swimming behavior by the physical surroundings. In the elevated-viscosity treatment, all kinematic parameters changed in the opposite direction to that predicted by hypothesis 2, rejecting both the idea that swimming kinematics are simply determined by passive mechanical interactions and that leeches have a target swimming mode under active control.

Purpose: The actual reciprocating angles of endodontic motors might differ from the manufacturers’ set values. This study analyzed the effect of clinical usage on the kinematics of reciprocating endodontic motors with 2 different reciprocal modes. Methods: 1 new and 3 used reciprocating endodontic motors (X-Smart Plus, Dentsply Maillefer) with 2 different reciprocating modes, WaveOne mode (W-mode) or Reciproc mode (R-mode), were analyzed. An angle measurement disc was inserted into a contra-angle. Reciprocating motions were recorded with a high-speed camera at 1,200 fps and analyzed on a computer. The following kinematic parameters were calculated: duration of each reciprocating motion, engaging and disengaging angles, cycle rotational speeds, engaging and disengaging rotational speeds, net cycle angle, total cycle angle, and number of cycles to complete full rotation. One-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test followed by multiple comparison tests were used for statistical analysis (p = 0.05). Results: In W-mode, the actual engaging angles of all used and new motors were different from the manufacturer’s set values (p<0.0001), whereas there was no difference between actual engaging angles among the motors (p>0.05). In R-mode, the actual engaging angles of all used and new motors were similar to the manufacturers’ set values (p>0.05). There was no difference between the actual engaging angles among motors (p>0.05). Both the W-mode and R-mode showed statistically different values of actual disengaging angles for all used and new motors when compared with the manufacturers’ set value (p<0.0001). Conclusions: This study confirmed that the actual kinematics of reciprocating endodontic motors differ from the manufacturers’ set values. Some kinematic parameters were influenced by the clinical usage of the motors.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a novel one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) single-loop reconfigurable 7R mechanism with multiple operation modes (SLR7RMMOM), composed of seven revolute (R) joints, via adding a revolute joint to the overconstrained Sarrus linkage. The SLR7RMMOM can switch from one operation mode to another without disconnection and reassembly, and is a non-overconstrained mechanism. The algorithm for the inverse kinematics of the serial 6R mechanism using kinematic mapping is adopted to deal with the kinematic analysis of the SLR7RMMOM. First, a numerical method is applied and an example is given to show that there are 13 sets of solutions for the SLR7RMMOM, corresponding to each input angle. Among these solutions, nine sets are real solutions, which are verified using both a computer-aided design (CAD) model and a prototype of the mechanism. Then an algebraic approach is also used to analyse the mechanism and same results are obtained as the numerical one. It is shown from both numerical and algebraic approaches that the SLR7RMMOM has three operation modes: a translational mode and two 1-DOF planar modes. The transitional configurations among the three modes are also identified.

Modern models of soils to describe elastic-viscoplastic properties do not always lead to the desired results , especially when it is necessary to take into account the time factor. In particular, one cannot always describe the rheological model and creep and relaxation , as well as get extreme at kinematic mode loading. This is due to the fact that the deformation in the soil medium is accompanied by complex physical and physico-chemical phenomena , changes in the orientation of each mineral particles in space and time , their mutual offset seal ( hardening ) and decompression ( softening ) . Quantitative assessment of buildings and facilities associated with the calculation of the stress - strain state ( SSS ) foundation soils subject to numerous factors , including the physical feature of the power and influence ( statics, kinematics, dynamics ) and mechanical properties of soils under such effects ( creep , ductility ) .In the present paper the results of scientific studies of the rheological properties of sandy soils. The purpose of these studies - determination of viscosity sandy soils kinematic and dynamic triaxial test mode. A technique for determining the viscosity of soils results in triaxial kinematic mode (with speed control vertical movements). The paper considers the problem of estimating the impact of the dynamic loads on the viscosity of sandy soils.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of inverse kinematics is essential to consider while dealing with the robot’s mechanical structure in almost all applications. Since the solution of the inverse kinematics problem is very complex, many research efforts have been working towards getting the approximate solution of this problem. However, for some applications, working with the approximate robot’s model is neither sufficient nor efficient. In this paper, an adaptive inverse kinematics methodology is developed to solve the inverse kinematics problem in such a way that compensate for unknown uncertainty in the Jacobian matrix of the serial kinematic chain robot manipulators. The proposed methodology is based on continuous second order sliding mode strategy (CSOSM-AIK). The salient advantage of the CSOSM-AIK approach is that it does not require the availability of the kinematics model or Jacobian matrix of the robot manipulators from joint space variables to Cartesian space variables. The global stability of the closed-loop system with CSOSM-AIK methodology is proven using the Lyapunov theorem. In order to demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed methodology, some simulations are conducted.

Full textAbstract:
Flapping flight using passive pitch regulation is a commonly used mode of thrust and lift generation in insects and has been widely emulated in flying vehicles because it allows for simple implementation of the complex kinematics associated with flapping wing systems. Although robotic flight employing passive pitching to regulate angle of attack has been previously demonstrated, there does not exist a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of this mode of aerodynamic force generation, nor a method to accurately predict its performance over a range of relevant scales. Here, we present such scaling laws, incorporating aerodynamic, inertial and structural elements of the flapping-wing system, validating the theoretical considerations using a mechanical model which is tested for a linear elastic hinge and near-sinusoidal stroke kinematics over a range of scales, hinge stiffnesses and flapping frequencies. We find that suitably defined dimensionless parameters, including the Reynolds number, Re , the Cauchy number, Ch , and a newly defined ‘inertial-elastic’ number, IE, can reliably predict the kinematic and aerodynamic performance of the system. Our results also reveal a consistent dependency of pitching kinematics on these dimensionless parameters, providing a connection between lift coefficient and kinematic features such as angle of attack and wing rotation.

Full textAbstract:
The problem has been examined using a kinematic model for wall pliability, wherein a kinematic postulation of the wall boundary conditions is made. A form of the normalized wall-displacement and its phase are used as additional parameters in an extended eigenvalue problem. Using this technique the entire gamut of possibilities regarding stability of flow past (normally) pliable walls can be examined, yet without recourse to any specific material properties for the wall. Rather, the results based on the kinematic model can be used to back-calculate the material properties corresponding to any chosen model for the dynamics of the wall. A sample back calculation is discussed herein for the Benjamin–Landahl wall model, and based on this some predictions are made regarding both stabilization of the flow and physical realizability of modes. It is believed that the kinematic model will prove useful in further understanding of the problem, and in the design of stabilizing coatings.The results show that there are three important ‘mode classes’ (distinct from ‘modes’), namely the Tollmien–Schlichting (TS), resonant (R) and Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH). Whereas the TS and R mode classes broadly agree with modes bearing similar names as found by earlier workers, the present KH mode class is difficult to classify based on earlier work. Moreover, there are also important transitional mode classes in the regions of bifurcations of the regular mode classes.Two important concepts evolve in connection with the TS and R mode classes, namely the existence of ‘stable pockets’ for the former and ‘unstable pockets’ for the latter. It is also confirmed herein that there are conflicting requirements on the damping d to stabilize TS and R modes. Considering these points it has been suggested that TS and R modes be avoided by keeping soft surfaces as compliant coatings. However, this in turn leads to instabilities from one of the transitional mode classes. It is also seen that a soft surface that is also marginally active (i.e. having a small negative value of d) could render even better stabilization.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a kinematic-based method for locomotion mode recognition, for use in the control of an exoskeleton for power augmentation, to implement natural and smooth locomotion transition. The difference in vertical foot position between a foot already in contact with ground and a foot newly in contact with the ground was calculated via kinematics for the entire exoskeleton and used to identify the locomotion mode with other sensor data including data on the knee joint angle and inclination of the thigh, shank, and foot. Locomotion on five different types of terrain—level-ground walking, stair ascent, stair descent, ramp ascent, and ramp descent—were identified using two-layer decision tree classes. An updating process is proposed to improve identification of the transition and accuracy using the foot inclination at the mid-stance. An average identification accuracy of more than 99% was achieved in experiments with eight subjects for single terrains (no terrain transitions) and hybrid terrains. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve high accuracy without significant misrecognition and minimize the delay in locomotion mode recognition of the exoskeleton.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a dual-mode online optimization method (OOM) for trajectory tracking of the redundant manipulators. This method could be used to resolve the problem of the kinematics redundancy effectively when the manipulator moves in a limited space or its movements go through a singular point. Design/methodology/approach – In the proposed method, the physical limits of the manipulator in the torque level is considered as inequality constraints for the optimal scheme. Besides, a dual-mode optimal scheme is developed to yield a feasible input in each control period during the path tracking task of the manipulator, especially when it moves under the limited space or around the singular point. Then, the scheme is formulated as a quadratic programming; the computationally efficient quadratic programming solver based on interior method is formulated to solve the kinematic redundancy problem. Findings – The traditional pseudo inverse method (PIM) for the kinematic resolution to the redundant manipulator has some limitations, such as slow computation speed, unable to take joint physical limits into consideration, etc. Relatively, the OOM could be used to conquer the deficits of the PIM method. Combining with the dual-mode optimal scheme and considering the physical constraints in the torque level, the online method proposed in this paper is more robust and efficient than the existing method. Originality/value – In this paper, dual-mode OOM is first proposed for the resolution of the kinematics redundancy problem. Specific design of its model and the discussion of its performance are also presented in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
A theoretical model of avian flight is developed which simulates wing motion through a class of methods known as predictive simulation. This approach uses numerical optimization to predict power-optimal kinematics of avian wings in hover, cruise, climb and descent. The wing dynamics capture both aerodynamic and inertial loads. The model is used to simulate the flight of the pigeon, Columba livia , and the results are compared with previous experimental measurements. In cruise, the model unearths a vast range of kinematic modes that are capable of generating the required forces for flight. The most efficient mode uses a near-vertical stroke–plane and a flexed-wing upstroke, similar to kinematics recorded experimentally. In hover, the model predicts that the power-optimal mode uses an extended-wing upstroke, similar to hummingbirds. In flexing their wings, pigeons are predicted to consume 20% more power than if they kept their wings full extended, implying that the typical kinematics used by pigeons in hover are suboptimal. Predictions of climbing flight suggest that the most energy-efficient way to reach a given altitude is to climb as steeply as possible, subjected to the availability of power.

Smart walkers are commonly used as potential gait assistance devices, to provide physical and cognitive assistance within rehabilitation and clinical scenarios. To understand such rehabilitation processes, several biomechanical studies have been conducted to assess human gait with passive and active walkers. Several sessions were conducted with 11 healthy volunteers to assess three interaction strategies based on passive, low and high mechanical stiffness values on the AGoRA Smart Walker. The trials were carried out in a motion analysis laboratory. Kinematic data were also collected from the smart walker sensory interface. The interaction force between users and the device was recorded. The force required under passive and low stiffness modes was 56.66% and 67.48% smaller than the high stiffness mode, respectively. An increase of 17.03% for the hip range of motion, as well as the highest trunk’s inclination, were obtained under the resistive mode, suggesting a compensating motion to exert a higher impulse force on the device. Kinematic and physical interaction data suggested that the high stiffness mode significantly affected the users’ gait pattern. Results suggested that users compensated their kinematics, tilting their trunk and lower limbs to exert higher impulse forces on the device.

Full textAbstract:
A novel five degrees of freedom deformable mobile robot composed of two spatial reconfigurable platforms and three revolute–prismatic–spherical kinematic chains acting in parallel to link the two platforms is proposed to realize large deformation capabilities and multiple locomotion modes. Each platform is an improved deployable single degrees of freedom three-plane-symmetric Bricard linkage. By taking advantage of locomotion collaborating among platforms and kinematic chains, the mobile robot can fold into stick-like shape and possess omnidirectional rolling and worm-like motions. The mechanism design, kinematics, and locomotion feasibility are the main focus. Through kinematics and gait planning, the robot is analyzed to have the capabilities of rolling and turning. Based on its deformation, the worm-like motion performs the ability to overcome narrow passages (such as pipes, holes, gaps, etc.) with large range of variable size. Dynamic simulations with detailed three-dimensional model are carried out to verify the gait planning and provide the variations of essential motion and dynamic parameters in each mode. An experimental robotic system with servo and pneumatic actuation systems is built, experiments are carried out to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the different locomotion functions, and its motion performances are compared and analyzed with collected data.

Because an intermediate transmission mode used rolling-body is applied in the contact surfaces among the kinematic pairs, the drivers’ stability and transmission efficiency are enhanced through improving kinematic pairs’ friction state and reducing parts abrasion.

AbstractWe used FORS2 in MXU mode to mimic a coarse ‘IFU’ in order to measure the 3D large-scale kinematics around the central Hydra I cluster galaxy NGC 3311. Our data show that the velocity dispersion field varies as a function of radius and azimuthal angle and violates point symmetry. Also, the velocity field shows similar dependence, hence the stellar halo of NGC 3311 is a dynamically young structure. The kinematic irregularities coincide in position with a displaced diffuse halo North-East of NGC 3311 and with tidal features of a group of disrupting dwarf galaxies. This suggests that the superposition of different velocity components is responsible for the kinematic substructure in the Hydra I cluster core.

Full textAbstract:
To improve the tracking precision of robot manipulators’ end-effector with uncertain kinematics and dynamics in the task space, a new control method is proposed. The controller is based on time delay estimation and combines with the nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) and adaptive fuzzy logic control scheme. Kinematic parameters are not exactly required with the consideration of kinematic uncertainties in the controller. No dynamic models or numerous parameters of the robot manipulator system are required with the use of TDE. Thus, the controller is simple structure and suitable for practical applications. Furthermore, errors caused by time delay estimation are compensated by the adaptive fuzzy nonsingular terminal sliding mode scheme. The simulation is performed on a 2-DOF robot manipulator with three cases in the task space. The results show that the proposed controller provides faster convergence rate and higher tracking precision than TDE based NTSM and improved TDE based NTSM controller.

Abstract On April 1, 2013 IGS launched the real-time service providing products for Precise Point Positioning (PPP). The availability of real-time makes PPP a very powerful technique to process GNSS signals in real-time and opens a new PPP applications opportunities. There are still, however, some limitations of PPP, especially in the kinematic mode. A significant change in satellite geometry is required to efficiently de-correlate troposphere delay, receiver clock offset, and receiver height. In order to challenge PPP limitations, the GNSS-WARP (Wroclaw Algorithms for Real-time Positioning) software has been developed from scratch at Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Science in Poland. This paper presents the GNSS-WARP software itself and some results of GNSS data analysis using PPP and PPP-RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technique. The results of static and kinematic processing in GPS only and GPS + GLONASS mode with final and real-time products are presented. Software performance validation in postprocessing mode confirmed that the software can be considered as a state-ofthe- art software and used for further studies on PPP algorithm development. The real-time positioning test made it possible to assess the quality of real-time coordinates, which is a few millimeters for North, East, Up in static mode, a below decimeter in kinematic mode. The accuracy and precision of height estimates in kinematic mode were improved by constraining the solution with an external, near real-time troposphere model. The software also allows estimation of real-time ZTD, however, the obtained precision of 11.2 mm means that further improvements in the software, real-time products or processing strategy are required.

Full textAbstract:
To analyze the influence of suspension kinematics on tire wear, detailed simulation models are required. In this study, a non-linear, flexible multibody model of a rear axle system is built up in the simulation software MSC Adams/View. The physical model comprises the suspension kinematics, compliance, and dynamics as well as the non-linear behavior of the tire using the FTire model. FTire is chosen because it has a separate tire tread model to compute the contact pressure and friction force distribution in the tire contact patch. To build up the simulation model, a large amount of data is needed. Bushings, spring, and damper characteristics are modeled based on measurements. For the structural components (e.g., control arms), reverse engineering techniques are used. The components are 3D-scanned, reworked, and included as a modal reduced finite element (FE)-model using component mode synthesis by Craig–Bampton. Finally, the suspension model is validated by comparing the simulated kinematic and compliance characteristics to experimental results. To investigate the interaction of suspension kinematics and tire wear, straight line driving events, such as acceleration, driving with constant velocity, and deceleration, are simulated with different setups of wheel suspension kinematics. The influence of the setups on the resulting friction work between tire and road is examined, and an exemplarily calculation of tire wear based on a validated FTire tire model is carried out. The results demonstrate, on the one hand, that the chosen concept of elasto-kinematic axle leads to a relatively good match with experimental results and, on the other hand, that there are significant possibilities to reduce tire wear by adjusting the suspension kinematics.

An extension of the Eulerian-Lagrangian kinematic description (Haber, 1984) to elastodynamic problems is presented. Expressions are derived for field variables and material time derivatives using the new kinematic description. The variational equation of motion is written in a weak form suitable for use with isoparametric finite elements. The new kinematic model allows a finite element mesh to continuously adjust for changes in the structural geometry, material interfaces, or the domain of the boundary conditions without a discrete remeshing process. Applications of the new model to mode I dynamic crack propagation demonstrates its advantages over moving mesh methods based on conventional Lagrangian kinematic models. Numerical results show excellent agreement with analytic predictions.

Abstract. Spatial distributions of the main properties of the mode function and kinematic and non-linear parameters of internal waves of the second mode are derived for the South China Sea for typical summer conditions in July. The calculations are based on the Generalized Digital Environmental Model (GDEM) climatology of hydrological variables, from which the local stratification is evaluated. The focus is on the phase speed of long internal waves and the coefficients at the dispersive, quadratic and cubic terms of the weakly non-linear Gardner model. Spatial distributions of these parameters, except for the coefficient at the cubic term, are qualitatively similar for waves of both modes. The dispersive term of Gardner's equation and phase speed for internal waves of the second mode are about a quarter and half, respectively, of those for waves of the first mode. Similarly to the waves of the first mode, the coefficients at the quadratic and cubic terms of Gardner's equation are practically independent of water depth. In contrast to the waves of the first mode, for waves of the second mode the quadratic term is mostly negative. The results can serve as a basis for expressing estimates of the expected parameters of internal waves for the South China Sea.

When using space robot to capture target like failed satellite, the force impulse between the target and the end-effector of space robot will load the base satellite with additional momentum abruptly. When capture happens, the pre-impact configuration can influence augmentations of partial momentum of the base and the manipulator. In order to realize a pre-impact configuration, which can reduce the partial momentum augmentations, the control of all link centroid together with end-effector by path planning is very important. In this paper, we establish a basic velocity kinematic equation for all link centroid, which describes the basic linear kinematic relationship between the linear velocity of all link centroid and linear and angular velocities of the base, joint angular velocity of the manipulator, where this basic velocity kinematic equation can be developed into kinematic equations for all link centroid under different kinds of working modes such as free-floating working mode. All link centroid can be controlled by path planning with this equation. Besides, velocity kinematic equation for all link centroid of space robot under a specific working mode is similar to the velocity kinematic equation for end-effector of space robot under the same working mode, so all link centroid can be controlled together with end-effector by path planning. We have derived velocity kinematic equations for all link centroid of space robot with a free-floating base and a fixed base. Both of them are verified by numerical simulations. The motions of position and attitude of the base and the manipulator end caused by all link centroid motion are also shown by simulation study. We also realize the simultaneous path tracking of all link centroid and end-effector for a fixed base space robot.

This paper aims at designing a pure translational parallel mechanism constructed by UPU (universal-prismatic-universal joint) kinematic limbs. First, the typical problem of unexpected rotations is pointed out from analyzing the typical 3-UPU parallel mechanism, and the reason for unexpected rotations of parallel mechanism constructed by UPU kinematic limbs is analyzed. Then, in order to design a pure translational parallel mechanism constructed by UPU without the unexpected rotations, the 2-UPU single loop is chosen as the basic structure to construct the 4-UPU translational parallel mechanism. Each 2-UPU single loop can be used to constrain a rotation about an axis of the linear complexes, which defined the unexpected rotations. Therefore, a novel type of 4-UPU pure translational parallel mechanism with redundant actuations is proposed. Since the existence of redundantly actuated kinematic limb, this proposed parallel mechanism possesses analytical forward kinematics, and its singularity can be avoided completely. Finally, the workspace and fault-tolerant performance are analyzed. When the proposed 4-UPU parallel mechanism is located in a fault-tolerant configuration, the moving platform can still possess movable ability to realize the given task even if one kinematic limb is in locked-joint failure mode, and the fault-tolerant workspace is obtained.

This paper addresses geometry design and operating mode optimum design of a new kind of 2-DOF parallel manipulator actuated horizontally by linear actuators. The forward and inverse kinematics of this manipulator are derived. The four groups of inverse solution correspond to four different operating modes which cannot transit to each other smoothly. The workspace and the singularity trajectory of each mode are discussed. Based on the desired workspace, the geometry of the mechanism is determined. The operating mode of the mechanism is optimized according to distributing of all global and local performance indices on the workspace. The results are very useful for the design and application of the new manipulator with multiple forward and inverse solutions.

Soft tissue “pulleys” in the orbit alter the paths of the eye muscles in a way that may simplify the brain's work in implementing Listing's law, i.e., in holding ocular torsion at zero. But Listing's law does not apply to some oculomotor systems, such as the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR), which shows a different kinematic pattern. To explain this different pattern, some authors have assumed that the pulleys must adopt a different configuration, retracting along their muscles when the eye switches from Listing's law to VOR mode. The proposed retraction has not so far been observed, although the pulleys do move in other ways. We show that the hypothetical retraction of the pulleys would not in fact explain the full kinematic pattern seen in the VOR. But this pattern can be explained entirely on the basis of pulley positions and motions that have actually been observed. If one takes into account the neural processing within the VOR, specifically the fact that the reflex is weak in the torsional dimension, then a single mode of pulley action can serve both vestibuloocular kinematics and Listing's law.

Aiming at kinematic accuracy and its’ error sources of a free floating space robot, a mathematical kinematic error model based on the concept of virtual manipulator and screw theory is proposed in this paper for a free-floating space robot. Based on screw theory, structural parameters in the form of motion screw and their error expressions derived from various error sources are deduced. The effect of mass error, CM (Center of Mass) error and structural parameter error on the kinematic accuracy of the free-floating space manipulator is analyzed. A simulation is demonstrated for verifying the correctness of the kinematic error model and the effect of various error sources on the free-floating space robot. The error model and the result deriving from analyzing are vital for studying the kinematic accuracy of the space manipulator when it is under a free-floating mode, and for controlling and assigning various errors when a space robot is developed.

Although robots have some kinematic and dynamic constraints such as the limits of the position, velocity, acceleration, jerk, and torque, they should move as fast as possible to increase the productivity. Researches on the minimum-time trajectory planning and control based on the dynamic constraints assume the availability of full dynamics of robots. However, the dynamic equation of robot may not often be exactly known. In this case, the kinematic approach for the minimum-time trajectory planning is more meaningful. We also have to construct a controller to track precisely the minimum-time trajectory. But, finding a proper controller is also difficult if we do not know the explicit dynamic equations of a robot.This paper describes an optimization of trajectory planning based on a kinematic approach using the evolution strategy (ES), as well as an optimization of a sliding mode tracking controller using ES for a robot without dynamic equations.

Full textAbstract:
Anchors may exhibit various complicated behaviors in the seabed, especially for deepwater anchors including gravity installed anchors (GIAs) and drag embedment plate anchors (drag anchors), stimulating the development of an efficient analytical tool that applies to a variety of anchors. The present paper introduces a unified model for analyzing different anchor behaviors in both clay and sand, consisting of unified concepts, mechanical models, and analytical procedure. The kinematic behaviors of the anchors are classified uniformly as three types, i.e., diving, pulling out, and keying. By utilizing the least-force principle, various anchor properties, such as the ultimate pullout capacity (UPC), failure mode, movement direction, embedment loss, and kinematic trajectory, can all be determined by the combination and analysis of the three behaviors. Applications of the model are demonstrated summarily, by solving the UPC and the failure mode of anchor piles and suction anchors, the kinematic trajectory of drag anchors in a single soil layer or layered soils, the maximum embedment loss (MEL) of suction embedded plate anchors (SEPLAs) and OMNI-Max anchors, and the kinematic behavior of OMNI-Max anchors. Compared to existing theoretical methods, this unified model shows strong applicability and potentiality in solving a variety of behaviors and properties of different anchors under complicated seabed conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Many workers interested in the mechanics and kinematics of undulatory aquatic locomotion have examined swimming in fishes that use a carangiform or subcarangiform mode. Few empirical data exist describing and quantifying the movements of elongate animals using an anguilliform mode of swimming. Using high-speed video, I examine the axial undulatory kinematics of an elongate salamander, Siren intermedia, in order to provide data on how patterns of movement during swimming vary with body position and swimming speed. In addition, swimming kinematics are compared with those of other elongate vertebrates to assess the similarity of undulatory movements within the anguilliform locomotor mode. In Siren, most kinematic patterns vary with longitudinal position. Tailbeat period and frequency, stride length, Froude efficiency and the lateral velocity and angle of attack of tail segments all vary significantly with swimming speed. Although swimming speed does not show a statistically significant effect on kinematic variables such as maximum undulatory amplitude (which increases non-linearly along the body), intervertebral flexion and path angle, examination of the data suggests that speed probably has subtle and site-specific effects on these variables which are not detected here owing to the small sample size. Maximum lateral displacement and flexion do not coincide in time within a given tailbeat cycle. Furthermore, the maximum orientation (angle with respect to the animal's direction of forward movement) and lateral velocity of tail segments also do not coincide in time. Comparison of undulatory movements among diverse anguilliform swimmers suggests substantial variation across taxa in parameters such as tailbeat amplitude and in the relationship between tailbeat frequency and swimming speed. This variation is probably due, in part, to external morphological differences in the shape of the trunk and tail among these taxa.

Full textAbstract:
The development of feeding morphology, kinematics and behavior was examined in the juveniles of the cottid fish Clinocottus analis. The attacks of 18 juvenile C. analis, between 17.59 mm and 42.15 mm in standard length (SL), feeding on brown worms were filmed using high-speed video. Feeding mode, ram- or suction-dominated, kinematic variables and morphology were quantified and compared over the juvenile period. The analysis of these three factors was based on the following questions: (1) do they change over ontogeny; (2) how do their values compare with those of larvae, juveniles and adults of other species; and (3) what is the level of stereotypy, as measured by the variance in these factors, at this stage in ontogeny and does it change? Small C. analis juveniles have the small gape and large buccal cavity of a suction feeder, and this morphology becomes more pronounced as they become larger. The kinematic variables of C. analis juveniles are similar to those of adult suction-feeding cottids and least-squares regression analysis showed significant changes in only two variables (time to prey capture and absolute attack predator­prey distance) over the juvenile period. Feeding mode, as measured by the ram-suction index, shows an increase in the suction component of the strike with increasing size. This study demonstrates that, in C. analis, suction feeding behavior develops during the juvenile period. Within the juvenile stage, morphology, prey-capture kinematics and feeding mode are not tightly linked ontogenetically such that suction-feeder kinematics (short predator­prey distance and low attack velocity) and basic morphology (small gape, large buccal volume) develop much earlier than the employment of a large suction component during the strike.

The devised algorithm allows assembly mode decisions at an early design stage without resorting to the mechanism dimensions. The numerical effort is low compared to existing solutions.

A dynamics controller design method based on characteristic model is proposed for the formation control problem of car-like mobile robots. Only kinematics controller is not enough for some cases such as the environment is rugged, and the dynamics parameters of the robot are time-varying. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the responding speed of the mobile robots and maintain high formation accuracy. First, we obtain the kinematic error state equations according to the leader-follower method. A kinematics controller is designed and the stability is proved by Lyapunov theory. Then the characteristic model of the dynamics inner loop is established. A sliding mode controller is designed based on the second order discrete model, and the stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed. Finally, simulations are designed in MATLAB and Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 (MRDS) to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a Newtonian viscous fluid overlying a Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid is considered. Upon application of normal mode technique, the dispersion relation is obtained. As in both Newtonian viscous-viscous fluids the system is stable in the potentially stable case and unstable in the potentially unstable case, this holds for the present problem also. The behavior of growth rates with respect to kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity parameters are examined numerically and it is found that both kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity have stabilizing effect.

We have applied kinematic dynamo formalism to geometrically thin accretion disks. We calculate, in the framework of an adiabatic approximation, the normal mode solutions for dynamos operating in disks around compact stars. We then describe the criteria for a viable dynamo in protoplanetary nebulae, and discuss the particular features that make accretion disk dynamos different from planetary, stellar, and galactic dynamos.

Several studies including kinematic and prescribed trajectory planning are performed. First, the degrees of freedom of mechanism's two working modes are calculated based on screw theory. A prototype made by 3D printer also has been developed. Then, the inverse/forward kinematics and Jacobian matrices are obtained. The workspace and singularity are also analyzed, which show that the proposed parallel mechanism possesses singularity-free internal workspace. Finally, a working mode determination method is presented, which can be used to obtain suitable workspace in order to fully contain a prescribed trajectory. An example trajectory is used to verify the reasonability of the proposed method.

The sliding surface has the identical structure as the proportional integral controller. The stability of the system has been proved based on the Lyapunov approach.

As a critical component of transportation vehicles, active suspension systems (ASSs) have widely attracted attention for their outstanding capability of improving the riding comfort and the maneuverability. However, due to the effects of the suspension kinematic structure and the rubber elements containing bushings and top mount, the practical double-wishbone ASS cannot achieve the desired performance resulting from the control design based on a simple 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) model. In this paper, a sliding mode control (SMC) based on an equivalent 2-DOF model is proposed to suppress the sprung mass vibration of a double-wishbone ASS, which is to improve the riding comfort of vehicle. The SMC for a double-wishbone ASS is designed in four steps. First, an equivalent 2-DOF model of a double-wishbone ASS, which considers suspension kinematic structure and rubber properties, is established. The parameter values of an equivalent 2-DOF model are identified by using least square method. Second, an SMC is designed for an equivalent 2-DOF model, and the effect of the parameter value of the 2-DOF model on the riding comfort is investigated by experimental results. Third, a control compensator for a double-wishbone ASS is developed by considering the suspension kinematic structure. Four, the control for double-wishbone ASS is obtained by integrating the compensator into the SMC based on the equivalent 2-DOF model. The numerical simulation results show that the control can effectively suppress the sprung mass vibration of the double-wishbone ASS when the SMC design is based on an equivalent 2-DOF model.

Abstract The article presents the results of the aircraft Cessna 172 positioning based on navigation solutions in the GPS and EGNOS (SBAS) tracking mode. The article makes a comparison of coordinate readings of the Cessna 172 in the ellipsoidal BLh frame. The verification of the coordinates of the aircraft Cessna 172 was used to assess the reliability of the GNSS satellite technique in aviation. In a research test, the navigation data were recorded by the onboard receiver Thales Mobile Mapper during an air test performed over the military aerodrome EPDE in Dęblin. Judging by the conducted investigations, it is possible to conclude that the difference in BLh coordinates of the aircraft Cessna 172 on the basis of the GPS solution and EGNOS (SBAS) solution equals, respectively: from −0.5 m to +3 m for component B; and from −2 m to +6 m for component L; from approximately −11 m to over +1 m for component h. In addition, the paper defines factors of dilution of precision PDOP, based on the GPS and EGNOS (SBAS) solutions. The average value of the PDOP coefficient for a solution in the tracking GPS mode was 2.7, whereas in the EGNOS (SBAS) tracking mode, it was equal to 2.8.

SUMMARYThis paper proposed a novel type of bionic underwater robot (BUR). The undulation and jet propulsion modes on the self-propelled BUR were combined, and the kinematic characteristics of the two propulsion modes were thoroughly compared. First, the prototype and swimming strategy of the BUR were presented, and a dynamic model of the BUR was established based on several assumptions. Then, a central pattern generator (CPG) model allowing free adjustment of frequency and amplitude was employed to achieve the undulation propulsion of carangiform fish and the jet propulsion of jellyfish. Also, the kinematic characteristics of the two propulsion modes were investigated through experiments under different caudal fin actuation parameters. The experimental results indicate that the developed prototype can realize the undulation and jet propulsion by the means of the coordinated movement of the multi-caudal fins. By adjusting the CPG parameters, the BUR can switch the propulsion mode smoothly. Furthermore, the propulsion velocity of the BUR initially increased rapidly with the frequency and then slowed down when the frequency was greater than 0.8 Hz in both propulsion modes. The undulation propulsion velocity increased with the amplitude in the measurement ranges, however, the jet propulsion velocity initially increased quickly with the amplitude and then kept constant and even decreased when the amplitude was greater than 11 cm. Under the same caudal fin actuation parameters, the average velocity in undulation propulsion mode was higher than that in jet propulsion mode.
